Hey
everyone hope you guys had a great week! I am here in galena park with
my boy elder nabo! He is from Africa and he is about 6'7! Super cool and
funny also!
Well
let's just say, I got so many hispanos on my hands I don't know what to
do with myself haha! Here there are so many more than my last area! We
get fed so much also, I probably had more dinners this past week here
than I did my entire time in liberty haha! We have a hermana that makes
homemade betos burritos and they are sooooo good! Best things I have
ever had! Also had some bomb tacos as well!
When
it comes to investigators we have some solid people. Taught a guy named
Carlos yesterday that is super ready I am really excited to work with
him!
Yesterday
we had an experience that really opened my eyes... we where driving
back from dinner at our bishops house and all of sudden traffic stopped
and we had to slam on our brakes. There was obviously an accident and we
knew that there was a person in the car. So we pulled the car over and
ran over to the car and saw the young lady sitting there barely
breathing with a big giant cut in her forehead. I'm not gonna get too
graphic but you could see her brain, and the first thing we tried to do
was give her a blessing. We
did, and waited about 10-15 minutes for ambulance to show up. When they
came she was still breathing and everything but right as they tried to
take she passed away. If their is anything that I learned from yesterday
is that god has a plan for all of us. It was definitely shocking to see
someone pass away right in front of me. I
am so grateful for the plan of salvation and everything it has in store
for me. I really hope that she had a taste of what the gospel is in
this life. I know this church is true and god has a plan not only for me
but for everyone!
Hopefully this all makes sense... Was a pretty crazy week not gonna lie. Thanks for the the love! Love you guys and have a great week!
Love, Elder Stringfellow
