7/3/17

Hey people, time is flying by. goodness. Got like 30 day left on my mission, which causes me to have an anxiety to share the Gospel more, so its been a good motivator.

Monday was a standard p-day in which nothing exciting happened. Tuesday we had district meeting, and went out to eat an Asian place.

I found a steel wool hair(?) in my dish and let them know so I got a whole new meal free. That's what happens when you pay for other people I guess. The left overs have came in clutch I tell you.

Also on Tuesday my grandpa came and took us out to eat! It was a wonderful time. He also took a whole suitcase of junk home for me. What a guy.

On Wednesday we moved apartments! The place we have now is so much better. We have a working A/C now and the washer and dryer work properly. But last night the police helicopter kept flying over near us so I wonder, like grandpa asked, who put you into this dump? After we moved we helped a member move his place. Good stuff.

It was super hot this week, but $1 snowballs were quite welcomed. And I got to teach one of them the Restoration, and gave him a Book Of Mormon. Too bad he lives on the other side of Baltimore County.

The majority of my week consisted of trying potential investigators who at one point were nice to missionaries. But most of them aren't home, others just look out the window then lock the door like they think I'm going to break in or something. It's made for some pretty long hours. But lets just brush over that like missionary work is a walk in the park.

Sunday was the best day by far. Elkinah came to church again, with his two kids. It was awesome. Testimony meeting is always great and the national anthem at the end always rocks my world. Also my former companion Elder Haroldsen came to visit his uncle who is in this ward. That was pretty crazy, he got home Wednesday and this was his first Sunday as a returned missionary.

After church we went to the wedding of Kevin and Rita! It was pretty awesome, the cake was pretty solid too. Now Rita can get baptized in the coming weeks!

We have picked up 2 people this week. and if Tuesday goes well then we'll have two more. So more good things to come here in Eldersburg.
