Back to Baltimore

Hey Everyone,

Hey, so transfers are here again, and as per my usual pattern, I'm leaving Walkersville after 2 transfers. This time I'm headed back to Baltimore. But this time I'll be in the Chesapeake ward, which borders the Inner Harbor ward on one side. My new companion will be Elder Patterson, who's going to be my first companion since Elder Haslam who is older than me, so that should be fun. 

As for what happened this week, I honestly don't remember a ton. With Preparation Day on Tuesday and District Council on Wednesday, the whole week seemed a day off. And we had exchanges on Wednesday, which are usually on Tuesday, so that all threw me for a loop. Exchanges were a lot of fun, it was my fourth exchange with Elder Musonda so we were just able to hit the ground running, or rather, biking. We got to meet this young guy named Eric who was a Messianic Jew. We asked him a few questions about his beliefs and they sounded very Christian. He invited us to his church, but sadly our schedule didn't allow for it.

Sunday was interesting because we had a zone blitz after church. We had to get a ride from the Frederick 1st Elders, who had a lesson planned for an hour or so before we were supposed to be there. Their lesson ran long, so we ended up being late, missing the briefing. So we went out with a member, not knowing anything that was going on. So after dinner, with a really awesome family, we thought we were going to be working in that area. But we found out later that we weren't, so we ended up walking 4 miles to where we were supposed to be. It was really fun. 

Love you all, next time you here from me, I'll be surrounded by concrete again.

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...
