Hello everyone, this week has been pretty fun. Turned out to be my last week in Baltimore because I'm getting transferred to Eldersburg this week. So by next Monday my life will be much different. I'll be in a car, and not in the ghetto of west Baltimore. It doesn't really matter to me where my last 6 weeks of my mission are. I'm going to try my best to make it productive and fun.
On Tuesday I was on exchanges in Pikesville. It's got a lot of Jewish people there. I realized it must be what non members feel like in Utah County. Every corner had a synagogue, and most cars have anti-Nazi bumper stickers. We gave out some copies of the Book of Mormon. I've been kindly calling people out who say they know the book but don't. Its been a good way to see if people actually know what they're talking about and if they're interested.
Thursday was good, we gave out 3 copies of the book of Mormon, we also helped a guy from Iran get home. He lives in DC but came to Baltimore for a green card. He got the card but then started smoking something green and got lost. So we helped him out.
Friday was the best day by far. Half the mission met in Columbia and we listened to Elder Neilson and his wife. He is the director of the missionary department. It was a super good meeting. Learned a good amount, felt a good amount, ate a good amount. I sat with him during lunch so that was cool. After that spiritual high I was trying to tell a guy about the Book of Mormon and he said it was not the word of God. I reminded him that he's never read it so he doesn't know. But he was sure it wasn't. That wasn't cool.
Saturday we were in the quality ghetto trying to contact referrals. We never get any trouble there so its all good. But we hear about crazy stuff going down and think where were we for that? We did see a fight. Here's a picture
That was something.
Sunday was good as always. Heres some pictures of my week.
