Vastly Uneventful and Meet Your Neighbors

Hey everyone,

As my subject line suggests, not a whole lot happened this week, just a lot of walking and not a ton of results. 

Yesterday was by far the most exciting day. Besides going to church and being able to talk to my dad, which was awesome, while we were doing call-ins, the fire alarm went off. So we quickly got into normal clothes, mostly because I didn't want to go outside in my fuzzy Captain America pjs, and followed the rest of the building out onto St. Paul Street so we could participate in the annual meet your neighbor event. Probably the most memorable neighbor was a girl who brought her fish with her in a tiny tank, and was just casually walking around with this big goldfish. The tower truck pulled up and the firefighters did their thing for a few minutes, then we all went back to our apartments and fell asleep.

On a side note, we found a huge cemetery on the way to Dundalk. There was a massive crypt in the middle of it that peaked my interest, so we walked up and found that it's a bunch of priests that for some reason, felt like they deserved to be above the rest if the graves. And I made pork chops! One with Cajun, and the other with BBQ seasoning. I made a couple last night with garlic, but it wasn't near as good. 

I honestly think that's about it, here's a picture of a tree that's grown around the fence post.

Love you,
Elder Howell

Here are my amazing Pancakes! And a blanket that one of the members makes for all the missionaries that come through. I chose the Ravens colors because I came in right before the season started. The couple on the back left are the Hydes. They finished their mission last week. The other couple are the Simpsons who have been here about a month longer than me. Then in Height order, Elder Lehnig, our district leader, me, Elder Stafford, and Elder Carter.

Hey Everyone, So these first few days in Walkersville have been jam packed, so I'll give you some of the highlights. When I got there, we decided that we needed to share the car with the Frederick 1st Elders, instead of their previous arrangements with the Sisters in their ward, which only allowed them to swap the car every other week, as opposed to every other day which we can do since we live so close. Which means I get to ride bikes. I could've ridden them in Savage Mill, but I opted to walk most of the time, but here I don't have that option. That made Friday interesting, because we had a meeting in the morning, and it was our first day on bikes, so naturally, it was pouring rain. But we zipped up our coats and hit the road. About a half an hour later, we got off our bikes, soaking wet and cold, we walked over and knocked on our appointment's door. He wasn't there, so we started walking to our next plan in the area. We started talking to another guy and
