Dear Family,
"I in thee
We in ye
Us in you
No longer two
One in fold
Always and forever foretold"
To the family that is number one coming all the way from the other side of the galaxy, Happy Fourth of May! :) For the avid star wars junkies such as myself, it just means I get the privilege of yelling in a Chewbacca voice with a missionary name tag on. We actually aren't too many galaxies away. I completely forgot that y'all were in Puerto Rico, looks like you're catching the good sun and spending some great time together :) (remember to share the gospel!)
The Successes//
We still are seeing good success come with the Crawfords. Kayla Crawford is going to be baptized most likely this Saturday!! So exciting, we're thrilled. Ricky isn't ready just quite yet, but we are going to try to move his date for later this month. This past week was Sugar Hill's Stake Conference, and Kayla came to the morning sessions. She attended the session where just recent converts and investigators go to have one on one with Elder Zwick of the Quorum of the 70. She cried at that one, and stood up saying "I'm very happy and excited to be baptized this Saturday". It's amazing how she's the one who has made this decision and how incredibly strong her testimony is right now. That wasn't us that did that, but God.
Please keep Ricky and Kayla in your prayers. I love these two people so much, and I'm amazied how gospel principles have changed their own countenances since the first day I met them. It's like being a parent and watching your kids grow into adults.
Other highlights//
So we just need to figure out when, what time and where? I just remembered that it's in 7 days! Skype home one last time on the mission. Time honestly could not have gone by faster, I seriously felt like I was just at these computers just yesterday. Less than 5 months and I'll be home wondering where the heck did time go?
Strange Things Are Happening//
So I just saw the wedding photo of Hannah Dailami or should I say Hannah Quigley now married. Whoa, and Megan Moser just sent me a pic of her wedding invitation with James. Everything in life just got really more strange...
Well y'all have a pleased as punch week!
Love you bye,
elder adam black

Other highlights//
- We witnessed a miracle with helping out a black family that just moved in from Kingston, NY and are looking for a church to go to down here. They've just been hit with some heavy trials, so we're praying that they will be able to come to church.
- We also went to our wards 1st Annual Ward Picnic, it was actually really fun. I hadn't seen a ward do an activity this fun (pie eating contests, carnival themed booths, DJ music {all songs of which I have no clue are anymore}) since the YSA branch.
