I am slowly forgetting all of the movie quotes that I spent 19 years gathering in my mind! Things are going very well here! I can't believe that it is almost Kayci's birthday! It was Elder Heleno's birthday yesterday and one of the families here held a party for him, it was sweet! We had a lot of cake and cookies! He has less than a month left and it is starting to take a toll on him. Haha. We had a pretty funny lesson the other day!
This guy was absolutely crazy, he let us in and we asked him how he was and he told us that he used to be really good at french. And then he explained to us that when Brasil was discovered, there were indians here and after that he explained how he is not white, the wall is white, he has color. We started the lesson and every question that we asked, he would reply with something about how he used to be good at french or indians or how he has color. It was super weird. Weird stuff happens very frequently but not like this, he only talked about these 3 things! It was really hard not to just start laughing, because Elder Heleno was trying so hard to get a real answer out of him, but he couldn't!
We are also currently teaching a gypsy too! He's an interesting fellow as well. I can't hardly understand a word he says, but he's a nice guy. One of the counselors in the mission presidency was at church yesterday and he told the branch president that we must be pretty powerful missionaries if we can get a gypsy to church! Haha! I thought that was pretty funny.
I'm doing well here, my feet have toughened up now and the walking has gotten easier and the weather is better too. I eat a lot of rice and beans, actually that's just about all that I eat! I really like it though, honestly I think that it is very good. I got to watch a part of the Best Two Years yesterday, it was weird watching it cuz I can relate to Elder Calhoun and what not. Its pretty funny how old all of the actors are in that movie though.
I am hesitant to ask this, but when does march madness start? You all should send me a bracket so that I can win the family bet again! I think that probably the second hardest part of the mission is the lifestyle change, not being able to watch march madness and the superbowl and stuff. That's what kills you. Anyway... if I don't get an email from Ash next week I think that it is fair to suppose that she is regretting the decision to run when it was unnecessary and will probably take her a good month or so to recuperate to the point that she can send me an email!
I love you guys a lot and good things are happening here! I hope that things are well on the homefront!
Love,
Elder Stringer
