4/17/17

This week has been pretty good. I really can't complain, this is one of the best areas I've ever had. We went to Fort McHenry last Monday.

(The Fort is the big thing in the background) No its not.

Another notable thing about the week was that Slurpees were buy one get one free.

On Tuesday we saw Eddy and he is still doing great. Helping read the Book of Mormon more and understand priesthood has been on the list. Family history work will be this week. We also met some interesting people on Tuesday. One guy taught us about Egyptian Mysteries and their role of being everything in the world. America, Masons, hieroglyphs, Polygamy. We found out we could meditate at a tree and it will tell us what we need to do that day. The climax was when he told us, "If I went to your Bishop and we talked about what I was telling you, he'd say you're right. Now leave my church.' He would feel threatened." We also had an encounter with a baptist guy who let us know the Book of Mormon is not of God. But he's never read it, his Elders told him it was bad. Nice. Even a homeless guy who I gave a quarter too said, "please don't ever tell people that Jesus visited the Indians." No I don't think I'll do that and give me my quarter back man. Its a fun town.

On Wednesday we had Zone Conference. There was some good stuff taught. During lunch a missionary who'll remain nameless smashed a cake into his face and licked frosting off another elder's cheek. All because he lost What Are the Odds. My old companion Elder Stafford is back, so that's cool.

A cool thing about this week was Elder Dameus got to speak french to two different people.

Easter Sunday was great. Edward came and it was a good sacrament meeting. Some one crashed their car into the church the day before so it was only sacrament meeting..

We saw a lot of people dressed up for church. We even saw Bruno, the awesome owner of Italian Sensation, in the Harbor with his Family. Hes the one who let us have the hot chocolate stand during the winter.

We talked to a lot of people this week. Only one of which we got contact info for. But we're trying our best. We just need to do better at having the Spirit guiding us. But regardless this is a great time for me on my mission.

Oh forgot to mention, we met Jack Sparrow

And I stepped in some throw up on the Light Rail! What a place!
