Hey Everyone,

So first the big news, I'm getting transferred again. We remain in the pattern of getting transferred every two transfers and getting a new companion every 6 weeks. I'm staying in the stake though, which means that I've served in 4 of the 8 units in this stake. They're sending me to the YSA ward, so my apartment is only about 20-30 minutes from my old apartment. 

In all honesty, not a whole lot happened this week. We helped a member move some furniture, we needed to have another male come with us. It was the middle of the day so we had a little trouble finding a man to come with us. But we managed to find a guy, and he took us out to eat afterwards, which was really good. 

We also helped an older couple in the ward with this missionary project that they do every holiday where they make and pass out cookies to potentials and people we are teaching. So we help them make the cookies, then we went out with the other elders to deliver them, which was a lot of fun. 

Those were really the biggest things that happened this week, so here are some pictures. 

Hope you all had a happy Easter!
-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...
