FAMILY!!!
Hey everybody!! Easter here was very good. It's starting to warm up, the trees are starting to bud which is good. I'm excited for PA to be green again!!!
Onto my week- it was pretty good-especially Thursday and Sunday!!
Mon-we just hung around, wrote letters and stuff. Then we went to the Zwenefskis for dinner and saw the Bryant family. We talked to them and shared a message with them.
Tue-We had a lesson with Chris and Christina in the morning. Then we saw a guy named Frank and had a lesson with him and read from the Book of Mormon. After lunch we went to New Milford and tracted all afternoon and found some good potential investigators.
Wed-We had district meeting in Susquehanna, and we talked about the Book of Mormon. After that Elder Scott and I went down to the Aaronic Priesthood restoration site for a bit and went down to the Susquehanna river. It was a very cool experience. It's always sooo peaceful and Spirit filled there that is for sure!!
Thurs- This was a great day! We went on exchange with the Zone leaders, Elder Carson and Elder Welker. I went with Elder Carson, and we had such a good day. We tracted all afternoon, and we found 3 new investigators, Sam, Cindy and Erica. We also found lots of potential investigators and handed out several Books of Mormon. To finish off the night we had a lesson with Irish and Sarah at the Church and it went pretty well.
Fri-We went to the Briggs house and helped Bro. Briggs move a bunch of bricks from a wall that fell over. It would have been an easier job, but it was raining the whole time which stunk.
Sat- it was pretty cool cuz we got to go to the Matthews house and build the bottom half of a chicken coop. It was just me and Elder Scott doing it. Luckily, Elder Scott knows about construction, cuz I would have no idea what to do. But, it was fun and it looked pretty good!! I killed my thumb with a hammer though.
Sun-Church was super good. We had an Easter program, and the Spirit was sooo strong. After church we went to the Liggetts house cuz they said they would take us to the Matthews for Easter dinner. So we were driving out to the Matthews, and Bro Liggett got called on a tow cuz he works for AAA, and so we had to turn around and go with him to unlock a car that this guy locked himself out of. We finally made it to the Matthews and had dinner. It was super good, and then we got an Easter basket. We got to see Bro. Tanner butcher a rooster. He tried cutting it's head off, but he couldn't do it, so the rooster just ran around with it's head hanging half off until it died.
I hope all is going well, and I want you to know that all is well here!! Sweet is the work!!
Love,
Elder Kyle Black
