Hey Everybody!! Things up in Montrose are going great! It's close to Susquehanna and the Restoration site. While I was driving up there I got lost and ended up in New York-ooops! Things are going great up here. It's actually not too cold up here, it's in the mid 30s and all the snow is melding away. I'm having so much fun. It's so rural and there are deer everywhere and we see them on the road sometimes. The other night we were driving and I saw a white tail deer in the middle of the road so I hit the brakes and the deer started running off the road- it was cool. The other night we were tracting in the woods and we heard wolves howling!! It's soo cool up here I like it so much. Elder Argyle and I get along great!! We have a lot in common and just have fun with each other.
I'll give you some highlights of our week up here in Montrose (which is the home of Chris Snee of the NY Giants by the way).
We taught this lady named Donna on tuesday and we set her with a baptismal date of March 14 which she will hopefully be able to keep. We just have to get her to come to church, which is tough around here because of the weather. The Susquehanna district is really cool. Elder Alley is our District leader and Elder Mills is his companion. Then Elder and Sister Baughman and they are awesome!! Then Elder Argyle and I. So it's a good little district and I love it up here!!!
We had district meeting on wednesday, then after that we were going to tract, and I was pulling into the snow to park, and didn't realize that I was pulling into a ditch and got the truck stuck (yes we drive a truck up here which I love) so we tried getting it out but couldn't do it. Then like an hour and a half later this lady came and pulled us out with her tractor haha, it was funny. That was discouraging but it happens.
Thursday was the best day here so far...we did service in the morning and we go to the historical society library. We just sort a bunch of really old family relics which was cool. Then we tracted and found a new investigator named Linda and she was really interested in the Book of Mormon. Then we went to the Gregory's house and their son Chris is getting ready to be baptized because he just turned 8, it's fun to teach him but a challenge because he doesn't sit still. Their daughter Jontue calls me richy boy cuz of my watch that I have from Walmart that I wear proselyting. That is a cool family!!
Then we saw some investigators named Irish and Sarah. They want to get baptized, and will as soon as they are married. We taught them thursday and sunday.
Friday was interesting...we got in 4 doors to teach lessons, but all those lessons were pretty much just practice cuz no one was interested they were just being nice. I was pleased that they at least let us in though!!!
Church was really good and I really like this branch!! It is a bigger branch than in Philipsburg, and there are lots of good little families here!! I just felt so welcome and like I belonged which I was excited about. After church we went on exchange with Brother Burt and tried stopping by some people, but no one was home, so he took us back to his house for dinner with his family which was good.
On Saturday night we met the Montonyas and they are a cool family!!! They have a son named Melvin, he is 17 and a mix between Eddy and Devo so he is super cool.
So that was my week!! It was fun!! I'm excited and grateful to be here in Montrose doing the Lords work!! Love you all!! Have a great week!!! Sweet is the Work!!
One love,
Elder Kyle Black
