It was very dark...

Hey!

(the subject has nothing to do with this email)

It is really good to hear from all of you! I am not sure why but this past week felt suuupeeer longgggggg. We had zone conference on Tuesday and had to go to Santa Maria on Thursday so Friday, Saturday, and Sunday we were working really hard trying to catch up with our goals and what not. I think that this week will be calmer. I hope so at least. But I am still doing great! It is cool that Preston and John are graduating congrats! And that Kayc is going through the temple! Wish that I could be there! And I finally heard the news that Mason put up 17 in the big game!!!!!(a month after it happened). Way to go Mason! Keeping the Stringer Church ball tradition alive! So I am pretty sure that I will be transferred the day after Mothers Day, so if you have a letter to send you should send it within this week cuz it usually takes two weeks to get here. I love São Gabriel,  but I am ready to go! Ready to get out of my first area, everyone here still treats me like the little kid who can't do anything for himself. Haha, but it is all good, I really do love this place and these people! 

Elder Araújo is super cool! He joined the church when he was 18, and he has a super strong testimony. We are really working here, hopefully we will have some more success before we part ways. 

Haha! Mason had to mow! This is something that I will not miss! Take that! And that is cool that he is going to prom, you got to send me some pics. It is weird that the school year is practically over already! That is really exciting, but I might suffer knowing that you guys are having tons of fun in the summer and sleeping in and stuff. We might have to stop emailing for three months or so. I am so tired. I am glad that it is p day! 

Oh funny story! We were teaching a lesson and behind the person that we were teaching there was a dog and it picked up a little kitty in its mouth and started throwing it around! Haha, I was going to say something but it was so strange and I couldn't focus on the lesson! ( You have to imagine this one in your mind for it to be funny.) Also one of the missionaries here keeps plugging all of the toilets, we have three and I don't think there has been a time that all three were unplugged. Right now two of them are. (that's more like everyday life stuff for missionaries). 

Everyday, multiple times a day I am reminded that God exists and loves us, it really is amazing when you start paying attention. I was oblivious to this stuff before I came, but now that I am focused on it, it is really apparent. I know that you guys are the best and are the greatest examples for me! I love y'áll tons and I wish that I had more to write for you guys, but that is it for now! And I will find more out about moms day!

Love,
Elder Stringer
