Brrr!

Hey Everyone 

Sorry I didn't email yesterday, President wanted us out during the holiday so he switched Preparation Day to today. And we were gonna help our Ward Mission Leader with his radiator, but he just called us saying that it was just a leak, not his water pump, so now we're just chilling at the church. 

This week has been filled with lots of walking in the freezing cold because it was too cold to bike. We had interviews all of Tuesday, President and I talked a lot about prioritization with everything that is required of us. It was a really good talk. I also got to give my first Baptismal interview that day, so that was interesting being on the other side of the desk, metaphorically saying. 

We had a few lessons throughout the rest of the week, we had a good lesson with Kalil on Friday, resetting our vision for why we meet together. We met with an older couple that we found last week, not sure how solid they are, but they are nice and willing to talk to us, which is important when it is below 20 degrees all the time. 

We also got a call from the mission office saying that the missionaries 6 months ago never turned in some paperwork for a baptism back then, so I've been trying to piece everything together since then, thankfully I only need a couple of signatures now.

The funniest thing that happened this week was that we were walking around on Sunday night and I tripped over a huge lip in the sidewalk and came within about a foot of face planting on the concrete, my hands were in my pockets too, so there would've been no catching myself if I hadn't gotten my foot under me in time. 

I think that that's about all I have for this week.

Love you all,
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...
