Everyday this week while riding public transportation we've been able to talk to people. Some have been crazy, but others have been super cool. My favorite this week was when a guy said 'good luck on you missions' when I got on the bus. So I sat by him and he asked me a lot of questions to learn what was really up. He had heard all the average negative things about Mormons. Polygamy, Aliens, exclusive temples, priesthood restrictions. And thanks to experience I taught him how it was. Whether it was misunderstanding, commandments, or imperfect leaders or what have you. We talked for a good bus ride, we went way past where we were supposed to go but it didn't matter. He was so glad we met and said that he normally takes a different bus route but today he randomly took this one, he said it was to meet me. Wow. alright, that's when you know God is in control. We just have to do our part and talk.
(This is what a bus looks like.)
We were also able to teach a new investigator the Restoration and he really liked it. He's one of the ones who talks a lot but he let us give our message and it was great. He said he really wanted to go to church to check it out. He loved the idea of the multiple races being there, no pastor, and classes you can talk in. (Course when Sunday came he wasn't able to go but that's life of a missionary right there.)
Everyone who reads a paragraph poorly written like that deserves a picture break. So here's the cutest dog I've ever met.
We have also been trying to contact a few new referrals we've received. One on Saturday night was super solid, he said God saved his life once- like he was literally dead. and now God led him to order the Bible online and now He sent us to him. So we plan on teaching him this week.
Another highlight of the week was when we walked through Lexington market and got swarmed by 5 Mormons that wanted to feed us. We got a free meal. Since then we've tried to walk through as much as possible, but it hasn't happened again sadly. Haha.
Church is always fun in the Inner Harbor ward. The best quote from that being "Don't laugh but I call myself a Professional Husband." We all laughed.
Glad to be with my pal Elder Ressler all the time, we were together in Lancaster as well.
Here's a decent sunset in downtown
