4/24/17

This week has been pretty solid. We were able to teach 2 new people this week. The prevalent one being our friend Hank. He is 63 and is going through a lot of medical problems, but you would never be able to tell. He is a super positive and an optimistic guy. We were able to meet with him twice this week and he is awesome. He is loving the restored Gospel.
I have yet to get a picture with him, so here's a picture of Elder Dameus. Just keep skimming along.
(He doesn't like his picture getting taken at all.)

On Thursday I got to go to the mission office and help with the logo. And I ended up making a new version of the logo so that's fun. Sister Christiansen took us out to Mission BBQ and I went to the bathroom and I was really surprised how nice it was. I then went to the end of the stalls to look for the urinals but they weren't anywhere to be found. At the exact same moment I realized the unusual amount of flowers present in a men's bathroom. Then it hit me and I got out fast before a woman came in to her rightful place of - well you know. Only my companion saw the mishap.

We've really been trying to do better with having the spirit with us and I feel like we've been improving. We tried a former investigator at like 11 in the morning and that day he had taken work off so we actually got to meet him. Pretty cool. What else. We saw the Circus Tigers, that's a highlight.

Outside the Orioles game I have been able to talk to quite a few people, and its pretty awesome. We have a rough time talking to people in the harbor, tourists and such aren't really in the mood to talk to us generally. But Baseball is always the best conversation starter.

Saturday we had a Blitz and a bunch of missionaries came and tried less actives for us. So I appreciate that a lot. Also we got a lot of left over chicken.

Sunday was the best day by far. Hank came to church along with 6 other investigators the other elders brought. That's a record breaker by far. After 3rd hour Hank said he had "the most spiritual and intellectual conversations ever." Nice. That night we met a guy named Joey Herman. He's running for president in 2020, endorsed already by the self made Love Party. It was a fun conversation with him and the member that was visiting from Utah.

Yeah, Baltimore. Its a hoot and a half.
