Hey Everyone,

So the most exciting thing this week was the bikes. While we were biking to the Cleveland's for Christmas Eve dinner, Elder Jackson's tire blew out again. And yes, it was the same tire as the previous Saturday. We ended up getting a ride from Brother Cleveland, but he could only fit one bike in his car, so I had to ride alongside while Elder Jackson rode in the car with Brother Cleveland. We called Elder Llewelyn to see if he had an extra tread, he did but he said he wasn't going to be able to get it to us until Thursday, so we left our bikes at Brother Cleveland's and worked on foot until Thursday. Thankfully, Brother Cleveland dropped us off at the Pratt's and we were able to visit with them for a while until we walked home, which wasn't too far because they live in our neighborhood.

Then Christmas came and went, I loved talking to my family, y'all are the best, then we were able to have dinner with our Relief Society President and her whole family. They honestly reminded me a bit of my family, if I had two brothers and a sister instead of three sisters, but it was the same sense of humor, as well as really good food.

Wednesday we did a ton of walking, it was like West York all over again, tons of walking. I don't have really any time left so suffice it to say that we got our miles in this week. Don't remember who said it, probably Shakespeare, "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." Everyone's schedule was messed up because of the holidays, but because of the holidays, everyone was home so we were able to have some lessons with some awesome members and set some goals for the new year. We were also able to sit down and talk with Kalil again, the military has had him running around so much that it's been hard to keep up with him, but we finally did it.

Love you all and hope you have an amazing week.

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...
