Dear Family, 
   Well I am in a trio again and I'm training to. We originally didn't 
know that we were getting a third person. So Tuesday night the 
assistants called us and asked if we were called as trainers. We told 
them no and they told us that they were going to call us back. Well a 
couple of minutes later President Anderson called us and told us that 
we are going to be trainers and that we had to be at the mission 
office at 7:45. When he told us this I literally screamed. We were 
very excited and couldn't sleep that night and we got up at 4:30 to 
clean our apartment. 
   On Wednesday we went down to Broomall and got our new missionary. 
Her name is Sister Lythgoe and she is from Canbrillo, California. She 
is the second oldest of four kids. She has two brothers and a sister. 
Her sister has Down syndrome and her dad is the stake president in her 
home stake. She is such a got missionary. Sometimes it feels like I 
should be the one getting trained not the one training. 
   I got to teach someone the restoration all by myself which I am 
pretty proud of. We were at our bible study yesterday and there is a 
lady that comes every week. Well by the way she was acting it seemed 
like she wanted to do bible study but not with the group of people 
that had come. So I took her in another area. So we read some of the 
story from the bible then she stopped and just started asking 
questions about what we believe. So I pretty much taught her the 
restoration. 
   We now have two people that have a baptismal date! The two brothers 
that are investigations the church both have a date to be baptized. We 
extended the Baptismal invitation to Jeff on Saturday for May 22, 2016 
(he doesn't get off of parole till May 15 of next year). Sister 
Lythgoe was the one that extended it to him! The assistants committed 
us to have the Goldens extend the invitation to someone by Sunday. 
   It's awesome because a couple of weeks ago Sister Hoofman and I had 
found this couple that has lived in our for said months and they have 
been praying for us to find them for that long. The wife is a less 
active and the husband isn't a member. He was about six days away from 
baptism but they had some problems and moved to where they are living 
now. So we had her extend the invitation and he said yes but he said 
that he didn't want to set up a date yet. When we followed up with the 
assistants they were really excited that sister Lythgoe had two 
invitation in one day. 
   We didn't have as many lessons as we usually have. Wednesday
through Friday were pretty slow but we are confident that we will be 
doing well this up coming week. Well I think that is all for this 
week. Hope you have a wonderful week. 

Love, 
Sister Paige Bluemel
