Family!
Hey everybody!! Right now I am in Scranton, Elder Argyle got transferred. I am waiting here for my new companion Elder Scott. It was cool, I got to go to the mall today for the first time and look at stuff. I bought a pair of sunglasses, I needed something new so I bought them. on to my week....
Monday-just hung around like we usually do on pdays...then we tracted the rest of the day.
Tue-went and did service at the Montonyas and threw a bunch of scrap metal and stuff into a huge dumpster. Then we went and moved a piano from the Jandas house to the Zenefskis house. That night we went and taught Donna about baptism and the 10 commandments, and it went really well!!
Wed-we had district meeting in the morning. After that Elder and Sister Baughman took us to Original Italian Pizza which was super good. After that the Susquehanna Elders blitzed our area with us, so I went tracting with Elder Mills for a while and that was fun. Elder Alley and I stayed in Montrose and we went to the Coxs for dinner and then went on exchange with Brother Cox. We went and saw our investigator John E. and taught him about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and it was the best lesson that we have had with him yet. So that's very exciting. At the end of the lesson he was asking us when he is gonna get baptized!!! so that's exciting.
Thur- Elder Alley and I did lots of service again. Then that night we went and exchanged back with the other Elders and saw a member of the Susquehanna branch named Brother Lewis who is super cool.
Fri-We went out to Choconut and saw the Briggs family and had a lesson with them. Then we went and saw Courtney and the Bryant family. Then that night we went and saw the Montonyas and had dinner with them and that went well for sure.
Sat-We did lots of tracting and walking. That night we went and saw the Matthews family and had a good lesson with them. Then we were driving back to Montrose and we saw something bolt across the road in front of the car ahead of us, and then something else ran before it too. But the car hit it and it flew into the ditch and we found out it was a deer, and it was kinda just spinning around and started running toward our truck, and I had to slam on the brakes and it was crazy!! But don't worry, I didn't kill Bambi like they did in Tommy Boy!
Sun-Church went well. We went to the Briggs again and Bro. Briggs cooked us chicken speedie again which was super good. Then immediately we went to the Liggetts and had dinner with them so Elder Argyle could say goodbye. Needless to say we ate alot yesterday.
So that was my week. Know that all is well here and that I'm working hard. Transfer 7 is hopefully going to bring lots of luck to Montrose!! So keep praying for us!!
Love
Elder Black
