On Tuesday
one of the Spanish Elders, Elder Bingham had a little medical problem.
He couldn't move the whole left side of his face so we had to drive him
to the doctor like 30 miles away. The doctor said he has palsy and
that it should be fine here in a couple weeks.
Wednesday we knocked pretty much all day and only like 3 people answered.
Thursday
was the fun day. We went over to a members house and they fed us and
there was so much food!! We helped them cook some of the food, and we
got to help them fry the turkey also! It was so good but we had to leave
and go to another house for dinner. The second dinner was with a Mexican family and they tried to do a traditional American thanksgiving
but it turn out so great haha! They made green beans but they just
dumped them into a bowl and put a stick of butter on it! They where strange but still ate it! At the end of the dinner they walked out with a
giant pot full of tamales haha!
After our second dinner we
drove by the Walmart here and it looked crazy!! Everyone one here is
freaking out because some lady thought it was a good idea to bring her
10 month old baby to black Friday,
and the baby ended up falling out of the mothers arms because they was
getting pushed around. Also in our mission boundaries some lady got
stabbed because she wouldn't give up bath towels haha! People down here
are going crazy right now!
Anyways Friday was a pretty boring day, and Saturday we painted a house and put up Christmas lights for a member. That pretty much took all day. Sunday
was a good day. Had a good day at church and after we went and ate at a
members house. She made some Mexican meatloaf that was good. After
that we decided to go knocking and we found 3 women that wanted to talk
to us. We went in started talking and we started to talk about the Book
of Mormon. I gave it to the little girl named Emily and she opened it
and started to read it right away! I was talking with the other two
ladies named Marisa and Cruz and they said that they would start reading
it with her also! They want us to come back again and start reading
with them and we asked if they wanted to come to church with us and
Emily the little girl got super excited and yes i want to go so bad!! I
pretty excited to work with them!
If any of you haven't had the opportunity to watch the new video the church came out
with i would recommend it. It has a great message on how we should
light the world this Christmas season and that we should try to do what
they savior did, and that is to serve others. Like it says in the
scriptures charity is the pure love of Christ. So go check it out and
see what you can do to serve others!
Anyways love y'all and hope you have a good week!
Love, Elder Stringfellow
