Hey everyone hope you guys had a good week! Been a busy couple weeks but everything has been good!
This past Tuesday was just a day full
of missionary work. Wednesday was a little crazy! We went and taught a
lesson with some kid named Allen D., and he is this kid who reads
anti-Mormon stuff all day. He tries to roast us but we just show him one
of Elder Holland's talks and his talks blow that anti-Mormon crap out of
the water. He gives us a new book to read every time and they are super
weird, and they just sit in our apartment. After that lesson we were
going to bike back home and grab something real quick, but on the way
back we got stuck in a hurricane haha!! We where riding our bikes and we
couldn't see 3ft in front of us. It was so much fun, but kind of scary
because you couldn't really tell when I car was coming and some got
super close to hitting us! But we made it home safe but we where
completely soaked! Went home and changed real quick but then a member
came and brought us and the English elders some pizza and we talked with
him for a while so that was pretty fun!
Thursday was just a normal day.
Friday we had to go on exchanges with the zone leader Elder W., The
kid is cool but he is a little on the weird side. He
talked about some weird things until like 12:30pm. I was zoned out most
of the time haha! But we did have a good day with him and got a lot of
work done.
Saturday we had service for quite a
while. We helped some members move out and manage their yard sale. I got
to be the translator and that was some good practice for me. After that
we helped the Hermanas teach this kid named Enrique. He is super cool
but super quiet. We only went over there because he likes us Elders more
the the Hermanas. We had a really good lesson with them. Later that
night we played soccer at the church with this less active family. They
are also super cool and we are really tight with them. We are working
with their kids so they can be baptized but they need to start coming to
church. So we set up soccer on Saturday nights so that we talk
about church with them after. Well it worked they came to church and so
did Enrique! It was a very good sacrament meeting. Later that night I
got to go on member splits with President Escobar. He is a really cool
guy and is one of the top dawgs in the police department for a city just
outside of Houston. We talked about some crazy things! But he is a really
cool guy!
I finished Alma this last week and I
love the story of the Stripling Warriors. The thing I love the most is
how much faith and courage they had, and how much they relied on the
lord. This story is especially helpful because we need to have so much
faith and courage in everything that we do. That's one thing we have
been trying to work on as a companionship. I also love how they listen
to their mothers. Shout out to my mom for always telling me to do what
is right and helping me be who I am today!
I know it's a long letter but I didn't get to write anything for a while but love you guys and hope you have a good week!
Love, Elder Stringfellow
