FAMILY!!
Hey everybody!! Everything here is going great!! My new companion is awesome and we get along very well!! He is a great missionary for only being out 6 months. I have learned so much from him already.
So on to my week...it was probably the best all around week that I have had since I have been in Montrose, so I'm excited about that.
Monday-We went to Scranton and I picked up Elder Scott.
Tue- We went and saw the Oliver family and had the best lesson that we have had with them so far. Chris is the investigator and is learning alot. Then we went and worked in Milford for the rest of the day. We did lots of tracting, and then had dinner at the Goffs. We had corned beef and cabbage for St. Patty's day, and it was pretty good.
Wed-We had district meeting in Susquehanna. Then we stayed there for the day and went to Sister Millers house and helped rip down a bunch of wall in this house that they are remodeling. Then for the rest of the night Elder Mills and I tracted and saw one of their members.
Thur-We did service in the morning. After lunch we went down to Springville and tracted for the whole afternoon and part of the evening- but no luck. Then that night we went and saw the Matthews and had a lesson with them and that was it.
Fri-We went and saw Bro. Briggs and his son Jaydon and had a lesson with him about the Book of Mormon and that went well. Then we did some tracting in Choconut which was pretty productive and we talked to alot of people. We went to the Detricks house for dinner, and after dinner we had a pretty good lesson with the Jordans.
Sat-Did lots of tracting, and we saw lots of success. We found two new investigators, one named Mrs. Barber, and the othe one is Christine, and she lives with Irish and Sarah. We have started teaching her now too, and what's good is that they all came to church which is even better.
Sun-Church was really good!! Elder Scott and I both gave talks, and we talked for a long time. After dinner we had a really good lesson with Sister Veley and her big boxer named Cooper. Then we tracted for a little bit, and the first door we knocked on we found an investigator named Adam and he is really cool. Then to finish off the night we went and had a lesson with Bro. Pratt
Know that I'm continuing to work hard and that we have excellent things going on up here in Montrose!! Well, until we talk again, deuces!!!!
Love
Elder Black
