May 10th

hello everyone!!!!!!

 

Well it's been a crazy past week but man I love where i am at!!! I'm in towson maryland with one of the best elders that i could have asked for. I told my comp. last week that if i got transfered i would want to serve with him but i didn't think i would cause i had no idea about zone leader but he's an allstar. We live on a college campus of towson university with a bunch of single women walking around haha not too good but were going to be moving soon so that should be changing quick.

 

Man so much has changed and it has been the greatest. we are now covering a singles ward and it's just about exactly like the movie. haha you have the different crowds in the church but it's a lot of fun. I am really excited to do a little more teaching in english. We are still over the spanish branch but there are also 4 other missionaries for the spanish so we aren't quite as interlocked there but thats alright. Sorry this is kind of a repeat from the phone call yesterday haha sorry mom.

 

Speaking of phone call i just wanted to say that the phone call yesterday was the best and i loved talking to you guys. I am so happy to be an uncle and to see all these AMAZING PICTURES of little morgan with that hair! oh my she's so adorable!!!! I would have to say it's been a good mother's day for everyone. Jess our newest mother and for MARSH as well. I love you all adn thanks for that great phone call.

 

Man i don't know what else to say i feel like we just got done talking ha because we did yesterday. I just wanted to share an experience that we had yesterday before the call for everyone else to hear....... So we went to this place just filled with hispanics and it really is filled like every apartment is hispanics and that doesn't happen too often here so we went back to try and teach this lady named Olga. We went in tehre and Olga was not interested and was giving us the cold shoulder in the lesson, kids were running around screaming and throwing toys, lets just say that it wasn't a very condusive area to be in for the spirit. But there was a nother guy in the home that when we pulled the eject button and said can we leave with a prayer, he walked in and asked if we could pray for him. Come to find out, he hasn't known god for 20 some odd years and hasn't been going to church because he's been so confused. He basibally knew the whole great apostacy and he said that after the lesson he just had this feeling that wanted him to learn more. It was one of those times when i knew that we weren't supposed to be there for OLGA but we were supposed to be right there for DOMINGO. I know that we are being led and guided to be at the right place at the right time here and it is the greatest feeling in the world.

 

Well all is well in maryland, i'm excited for this upcoming week and to keep on cranking it for our zone so they can keep up the good work. The BALTIMORE zone is the best and i'm excited to be here. I love you all so much and hope you have a great week! all my love
