Another Transfer

Hey all,

So I guess the biggest news this week is that it's transfer week. Elder Miles and I are both leaving and they aren't putting a new set in this next transfer. Elder Miles is going up to Hancock and I'l be going to the Susquehanna ward near Baltimore with Elder Apgood, who I served around while I was in Inner Harbor. I have loved this area so much and have grown to love the people here so much that I know it's going to be really hard to leave, but I know that I can make it through by relying on the Lord, and I also know that I'm going to have a great time with Elder Apgood. 

In other news, on Tuesday we had exchanges. I went up to Front Royal with Elder Harris and we had a great day together. We ended up picking up an investigator for them, an awesome young dad. Meanwhile, Elder Miles and Elder Livermore met a nice couple for us. We met with them later in the week and we aren't sure if they are really interested or just happy for the company. 

That was really the only big thing that happened this week, other than that it was a lot of walking and a lot of talking to people. Sunday was great as always, Brother Richards gave a great talk on the differences between sin and weakness. We got the call that we were leaving around 7 at night so we had some time to go around and visit some of the members we've gotten closest to. Brother Moore offered to take us to dinner tonight and the Mathews invited us over for a bit this afternoon, we've gotten really close with them and we are all going to miss each other. But it will all work out for the best and I am ready to begin my adventures in Susquehanna. Let's see if I can make it to this area without President calling and saying that I'm opening up a different area. 

Love you, Elder Howell

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 wal...

Hey Everyone, This was a relatively uneventful week mainly because of Tuesday. So first Monday, we had walked around a ton that day, and Elder Parkinson had been having problems with his leg already, so needless to say, by Tuesday morning he was in a fair amount of pain, so we had Elder Stubblefield look at it after District Council, and he told us that he has shin splints, which is why it feels like his calf is about to rip in half. So needless to say, we've been resting and he's been putting icy-hot on his leg every couple of hours.  But we've still been able to go out for a few hours every day; on Wednesday we had to go down to the Inner Harbor Building so Elder Parkinson could do a baptismal interview for someone that the Inner Harbor Elders are teaching, and we were able to go to his baptism on Saturday. We needed to be there to fill the font, then members that I knew started coming and we ended up staying for the whole thing. Afterwards, Elder Stubblefield put...
