Making tortillas.....
Hey everyone! Hope you guys had a good week! This week was pretty solid! First off we played soccer last p day against another zone and kicked their butts haha! It was really fun and we had a good time!
This week we where helping out our hermanas a lot with their investigator Daniel. He is the coolest kid I have ever met no lie! He was baptized yesterday and it was awesome! He is teaching me and Elder Fraley how to play soccer, and in return I am going to teach him how to play baseball! He is so cool haha!
We had to have another elder with us for 2 days because his companion had to go back to Utah and sign some papers. He is from the Dominican Republic so that’s why, but we where running around everywhere trying to talk to people so we where pretty busy doing that!
Also this week we learned how to make flour tortillas and papas con juevo and it was so good! I can also make a spicy salsa so you guys can try it when I get home!
Also we had a stake party and one of our investigators Lupe came! She is super awesome and so nice to us! We are like her best friends and he son Ryder is awesome too!
That’s all I really got this week! Love you guys and hope you have a great week! And I’m thankful for all of you and everything you have done for me! Have a great thanksgiving!
Love, Elder Stringfellow

Sweater Weather Finally...
Hey everyone! Hope things are going good for you guys! This was a pretty solid week in Houston!
At the beginning of the week I had the opportunity to go on exchanges with another elder which was pretty good! Got to help him out with somethings. It was kind of chilly this week and I got to whip out the sweater! Hopefully it gets colder because I hate the heat so much haha! We also had our ward thanksgiving party which was pretty fun! We had like 8 turkeys and 2 hams and a bunch of other food, but I was disappointed because for a thanksgiving party they had no pumpkin pie and I was super bummed....
This week we played soccer obviously which was fun! The hermanas have a really cool investigator named Daniel and he came and played with us, and he embarrassed the crap out of me like 10 times. I definitely need to improve some of my soccer skills! We get to play another zone this p day in soccer and I’m super hyped for that!
Funny story we where trying to find some people to talk to or help out so we went to the store and tried to look for people. Nothing really came out of it, so I went and got a drink and i was paying for it I hear in the background someone say “ hey boo” and I really didn’t think much of it but then I heard it again so I turned around and this black lady was like staring at me and said to me “what’s up boo” and I was nice and said what’s up, but it was super obvious that she was trying to hit on me and I was having none of that so we dipped out of the heir as fast as we could haha!
I have so many things to be grateful for right now! I love being a missionary and I love this gospel! Love you guys and hope you have a great week!

World Series Champions...The Houston Astros
Hey everyone! This week in H-town was of the chains!
First off GO ASTROS! People down here are going nuts! First off
they canceled school so people would go to the parade. Didn’t really
help us out because literally everyone was gone and we had no one to
talk to haha! Then we heard that the check out line at dicks sporting
goods was over a 2 hour wait just to get a shirt or something! People
are going crazy for them!
On Halloween we had a leadership training that was really good! Our
mission is going to change a lot in the future and I am really excited!
Great things are coming and that’s exactly what this mission needs!
We have some good investigators right now. Maria Gil has been a little wishy-washy but we are going to talk with her this week!
We had a regional stake conference and it was like a mini general
conference! We had the opportunity to listen to Elder Christoferson
which was really good! He talked about how we can listen to the prophet
even though he has been silent for a little bit. We need to listen to
what he has said to us in the past, try and follow his example, and
simple things like that. I love him and sustain him!
That’s all I got this week! Love you guys and hope you have a great week!
Love, Elder Stringfellow
