Week 49....Adventures in Baltimore and a little more about the Amish/Mennonite Area

Monday- went with the zone leaders and played poole at a members house for a little while, one of there kiddos took the 7 ball so we got to play with one ball short but we made it work and it was fun.
Then we went to taco bell and we went to Walmart very quickly, then to the gym with the Lititz elders and sisters and the spanish elders.
THE sisters missionaries brought a girl who us about to go on her mission with them so she got to see how missionaries act on preperation day.
We played chair soccer and spike ball and Frisby and basketball. So we had a pretty good time.
Then we came back and the browns took us to there house to eat. Then they brought us back and we just got back from tracting in the rain, it is starting to flood down the streets here. Definitely raining pretty consistently.

Tuesday- we woke up and elder Allred got ready for district meeting but I got to stay in my normal clothes becauae I got to head to John's Hopkins again, but this time it was much better, I get to stay in a room for a lottle.
But it's been a blast for the first few hours tonight. Pretty sure I am going to baptize all these nurses, they are laughing everytime they walk in the room, so either I have a great sense of humor or I look very weird, id give it a random guess and say a little or both.
It's kinda weird but I need to call a nurse to say that I can use the bathroom, because I have about 40 little wires attached to my head and 2 attached to my chest. I either look like a predator or an avatar, but if I have a seizure my skin will turn blue so an avatar will fit perfectly.
But we have been talking about life and death and scriptures, well that sums up the scriptures perfectly.
So I am going to try and sleep when there are 2 cameras monitoring me 24/7. Super weird.

Sunday - while I was in the hospital I did not right in my phone journal because it was the most repetitive 5 days ever so if you want to know how those days went, we basically just sat in one room and that's but that's it. Have a great week 

 Elder Killian got to hear the life flight helicopters come and go but it was not until he was released that he got to see where they actually landed and took off from.
 One of the small towns in Elder Killian's mission area is Intercourse, PA...it is a great town.
 Elder Killian told us several facts about the population of Amish and Mennonite's in the area.  If someone has black horses and carriages they are Amish, if they are gray then that is the Mennonite populations.  Amish men have no facial hair until they are married, then they grow a beard and that is not to be shaved again.

You can tell Amish Farms because they will not have power lines around the home, usually their buggy will be in the yard and they use a windmill for pumping the water and running the wells.
There is a little Farm store and it is fun to see the carriages lined up outside while the people are inside doing their buisness.
