Tuesday we went to district meeting then went to Columbia and I worked on a project. and now I'm out of projects, but its cool. At the bus stop at the Columbia mall George, the guy Elder Dameus gave a Book of Mormon too was there. I gave him a restoration pamphlet and we talked about it. It was super sweet, he has read 1 Nephi already so he already has a testimony of the book.
And we got two free meals that day. No complaints.
Wednesday we were out following up on referrals and such. It was super hot. Throughout the week we got 2 new people who are down to be taught, but we haven't been able to get with them due to lesson cancellation or something like that. But we are getting new people.
Thursday we were with Hank shopping with him. It was quite the journey, but the sushi we had was very good.
Friday was another day of trying people and we contacted a referral. Most of these people ordered a bible online and then we come and present them with a Book of Mormon as well then offer to teach them about it. Not always are they interested, and a lot of the time they say "give me some time to read it first, But I'll take it". It's fun work.
We also talked to a guy on Federal Hill who was to be following around "Always Dreaming's" owner the next day at Preakness, so that was cool. If that didn't make any sense then I'm sorry.
Dream job stuff right there.
On Saturday we got to meet with both Hank and Henok. Hank's lesson was super great. He had read the commandments and was ready to quit coffee and we talked about him getting baptized June 10th. Then we read 3 chapters of the Book of Mormon with him. He told us he needs to be more consistent with reading it. Ba-boom! Then we met with Henok, we read the Plan of Salvation pamphlet with him along with 2 Nephi 2. He then told us how he wants to get baptized, even though all his relatives and friends say we're not Christians. So June 10th for him as well! He also told us he's going to read 1 to 2 chapters a day. Could you ask for anything more out of those two? No not really.
We also checked out the Preakness, had quite the view from the bus parking lot as you can see
Sunday was great. Edward is the man and was there for the sacrament. he getting better and better at being on time. and this week we're going to DC with him! Its been a good week.
