Sunday in Monticello

I love Sundays! I love learning and sharing and getting to know new people. The elders have been very busy here in our little Branch. We picked up three investigators for church this morning, and meant another one there at church. They don't have cars and the Elders can't have any one in their cars. Mission rules. So we went around and picked them up this morning. I love fast and testimony meeting. I love when the Holy Ghost bares witness of truths. I love seeing people walk in church that haven't been for a while. We went and visited a sister Kemp last night and invited her to come back to church. She came in late with her husband. We actually had about 35 people at sacrament meeting. There was only 22 there two weeks ago when we visited for the first time. We had a "Break the Fast" potluck dinner after church. A great opportunity to get to know those who were there. I love to know that the church is the same no matter where you go. The sacrament is administered the same, there is always sunday school and Relief Society and Priesthood meetings. We only have three little primary kids and 4 youth, 3 YW and 1 YM.

We visited with the Branch President Murphy after church to find out what he has in mind for us to do to help build the kingdom of God in Monticello NY. We went over the branch list and will meet again on Tuesday with Bishop Ey from Middletown ward, and President Murphy.
