Surprisingly we had a baptism this Sunday! Elder Johnson had the
opportunity to baptize and kid named Enrique C. Us and the hermanas
have kind of been working with him together even though he lives in the
hermanas area. We had to help the hermanas
because Enrique is not the biggest fan of women and he likes talking to
us guys. So we had to go over with the hermanas every lesson and pretty
much teach him because he wouldn't listen to the hermanas lol! So we
where teaching him this week just me and Elder
Johnson and he said that he wanted to be baptized and he wanted Elder
Johnson to baptize him. It was a big surprise to use but we where like OK ya let's get this done, and so we called the hermanas and told them
and they where super excited! Yesterday was an
awesome day and Enrique is going to be such an example to his family! He
has had such a big impact on his family that his mom who has been
talking with the missionaries for over a year now wants to stop smoking
an drinking and wants to be baptized in 2 weeks
by one of our recent converts! Super awesome for Enrique and his family!
Other than that nothing really exciting happened. We just did
missionary work pretty much the whole week. On Thursday and Friday we
biked around 45 miles on the highway and that was super fun! Cars
honking at us and people screaming at us. Makes me laugh
most of the time. We had to bike on the highways because we are working
with this recent convert so that he can get the priesthood and go do
baptisms this Saturday at the temple. We go over there and he says that
he wants a blessing. We said we can do that
and I go to get out my oil and it's empty..... I was super nervous cause
Elder Johnson didn't have any and Josh our recent convert really wanted
this blessing because he hasn't been feeling great. I showed Elder
Johnson that I didn't have any but I might be
able to get just around the outside edges. I go up there and get ready
to anoint the oil with the oil I didn't have and I went to put really
nothing on my finger and a whole bunch of oil comes out! I was in shock
because it was completely empty right before
I went up there. So we went ahead and did everything and gave him a
blessing and after the blessing he felt like a changed man he said. I
guess he really needed that blessing! That was our miracle for the week I
guess you could say!
Transfers are coming up this week and I am pretty sure that I will
be staying! But who knows haha! Any ways love you guys and hope you have
a good week!
Love, Elder Stringfellow
