4/4/17

Hey everyone, it's been a great week. Elder Dameus and I had some great experiences while walking around the city. Most of them have been started by some one saying, "You're a black Mormon??" Its been a good time.

We had a few new referrals to contact. We also got a hospital visit which was super awesome. We walked in the rain for like an hour to get there. The woman's sister is a recent convert in Texas so it was cool to testify to her of the restoration to her using her sister's testimony. We'll hopefully teach her sometime this week.

Elder Dameus didn't have a big blue umbrella like I did so...

There was also a super cool sail boat that came in to the Harbor that we got to tour for a minute. It serves as a boarding school for high schoolers and they live on that thing all year traveling the world.

By the time conference hit we had invited 8 people to come watch it with us. Course none of them came. Our man Edward gave us a good scare when he went to D.C. on Saturday and didn't see anything that day, and it wasn't until a half hour into the last session that he walked in the Chapel. Right when we heard talks about getting Baptized, getting the gift of the Holy Ghost and everything that I could've asked for him to hear. It was quite the moment. When he sat next to me he said, "I told you I wan't going to let you down." and he pulled through. Edward will be getting baptized this Saturday!

Light City is going on and today is the beginning of the last baseball season I'll have to miss.

Today, Monday, we went to a expensive seafood place but among all the Orioles fans I felt like a true Baltimorean as I sprinkled Old Bay seasoning on crab legs.
