HOLA FAMILIA!!
I forgot to tell you something on the phone yesterday about this week -we almost saw a shooting go down. Two guys were arguing with each other and there was lots of yelling and foul language and then we heard this girl say, "if my mom gets shot somethings going down.". It was crazy cuz we were trying to see an investigator during the whole thing and we finally decided to get outta there. We almost saw a girl fight too which would have been super crazy.
Mon-we balled it up!! We played basketball and volleyball all day! It was so fun, but I was super tired. We had a lesson with sister Beuhler and we read the Book of Mormon with her and that was good.
Tue-We did service at Sister Winter's house and then she bought us some chicken cheese steaks and they were super good. We worked downtown for the resto of the night.
Wed-In the morning I had District Leader council, which is just a meeting for District Leaders. Our district meeting after was on Christlike attributes and it was really good. We drove back to Harrisburg cuz district meeting was in Elizabethville, then we went downtown and worked for the night. We had a really good night with 3 lessons and 1 new investigator.
Thur-We had the religion fair in the morning, so that was pretty fun. We didn't talk to too many people, but it was still fun.
Fri-We had a really good day!! We stopped a bunch of people downtown and then had a lesson with Nancy and we taught her the gospel of Jesus Christ and set her with a baptismal date of June 6!! She is way excited and so are we!! Keep praying for her.
Sat-We saw Adrian who is one of our investigators, he is from Haiti. He doesn't speak much english, so we took Oles over there cuz he is from Haiti as well, and they just talked for a while in Creole, which is the Haitian language. That night we went and saw Gerald and he gave me a throwback Miami Heat basketball jersey!! That was cool.
Sun-Church was really good. Nancy, Gerald, and Adrian all came to church and really enjoyed it. Then we saw a few people after church, and in the afternoon we called home for Mothers day which was super good of course.
Love,
Elder Black
