Hey Family!!
The burrito's are amazing!!! The breakfast ones are better cuz they didn't get soggy like the carne asade ones.. all the steak made the tortillas super soggy.. but they were still good!!
Everyone here is hyped about the Super Bowl!! It's me and Brother Saline (a guy in our branch from AZ) versus all of PA haha. So I hope the Cards win!!
It's already week 6 of the transfer!! I have a feeling I'm gonna be leaving Clearfield come next monday..but we will see what happens.
This week was definitely a bit warmer which is good!! On friday it got up to like 48 degrees which was amazing!! But then it got super cold again the next day. But there is hardly any snow which is a good thing.
We had a good week with our investigators and we were able to find two new investigators!! One of them is named Randy, and he actually lived in AZ for a few years so we were able to talk about that a little bit. I was able to soften him up a bit to reading the Book of Mormon and finally he said that he would read it so that was good!! Wednesday we tracted into a lady named Marlene athat was an older lady and she really enjoyed talking to us....the funny part about that lesson was that she farted super loud multiple times! and she was just like "mother nature is calling". That was super funny.
Mary is doing well!! She just has a thirst for learning that I have never seen before!! She just studies and studies and studies and has so many good questions for us it's so awesome to go over there and teach her!! We were able to teach Mark S. this week and Elder Welker was with me on exchange which was fun! We were able to teach mark about baptism and commit him to baptism he just didn't really understand the importance of the Priesthood and being baptized by proper authority...but we will keep working with him.
We got to hear President Obama's inaugural address while we were doing service... that was a pretty cool thing to get to hear. This week we went to dinner at the Morrison's and we had scrapple!! It's like a Penn dutch delicacy...all it is is pig scraps and corn meal put together. It was good but it gets old really fast. It was cool to have such a delicacy. We were able to see lots of deer right outside their house eating corn from their feeder which was cool.
Much love
Elder Black
