This week has been pretty crazy. We went to Baltimore on Tuesday to get Elder Allen's cyst checked out on his area of infection. (I don't want to say the word butt because then everyone on the internet could know his problems.) But anyways I got to go to Baltimore and go where my last vacation with my mother and brother was.
pretty cool right? Throughout the week we did some feeble finding and we visited Ralph twice. We made sure to plan better for this week so it'll be much more productive.
Saturday was pretty great because we all went down to Maryland to hear from Elder Gay of the 70. He's from Los Angeles, so when I had a minute I talked with him to see if he was a dodgers man. When he said he was I shook his hand again true dodgers fans have quite the bond, let me tell you. "I later told him I knew there was something a bit more awesome in you." He rocked our socks by teaching us how we can better help people, learning "their reason why" the gospel will bless them is a cool thing I learned. I had plenty of PPM friends so it wasn't as bad as I prepared myself for. The moment that I thought, "this is my life", is when I was playing hacky sack before the shin dig started and I ripped the front of my pants. right below the zipper. luckily there was still some black fabric underneath so it wasn't too embarrassing.
Sunday was when it got real epic. Ralph came to church and told us his daughter said he could do whatever he wanted, in essence. So he told us he's got the green light to get baptized! He's looking at the date of September 25th. It will be an awesome day if all goes well. on sunday I had the opportunity to baptized a 8 year old girl in the ward. That was pretty cool, after the ordinance I was trying to unscrew the chain but my attempts were pathetic and I looked up at the mirror to see the whole ward enjoying the show. when they finally closed the doors I got the plug open enough the have it start emptying. I then found myself in a pool of water, completely alone. I can't remember what happened while I was in that font alone..oh well. darn dementia. We had a successful time lemonading sunday night. It's my favorite thing.
This week should be super epic.
