Family!

Family!!!

Hello family!! How you are!? I am doing really well and other than a sickness that I got over the weekend things have been great! I wasn't feeling super great on Friday, but I didn't think it was anything too serious. When I woke up on Saturday, I could hardly talk. It was crazy and hurt a lot. It was a pretty rough day and I let Elder Dias do a lot of the talking. We taught an elderly woman who has hearing problems and I was trying to yell so that she could understand, but my voice was all squeaky and weird. Elder Dias seemed to think that it was pretty funny. The members are really good and they all want to help a lot, they were all giving me weird homemade remedies and what not that was making me pretty nervous. Yesterday was rough, my ear plugged up and it hurt really bad so we went to are ward mission leaders house and his wife rubbed this weird stuff on my ear and they gave me a blessing and in about a half hour i was all good! You guys don't have to worry about me here cuz the members are great!

We had two interesting and somewhat dangerous experiences this past week. First was on Tuesday, a member took us to a friends house and we taught a lesson and when we got out of the lesson his car had been broken into and his radio was stolen and the glove box was open and there were papers all over the place, it was pretty crazy because the car was locked and they didn't do any damage to it. They must have had a fake key or something. The other was yesterday, it was starting to get dark and we were looking for a house that is in the city´s most dangerous neighborhood. We found the house and tried to be really quick with our message, but when it was over it was already dark outside. We weren't feeling very good about walking through the neighborhood so we decided to take a long detour all the way to the highway and walk around. Nothing happened but it did take about a half hour more.

John Carlos went to church yesterday and liked it and we taught him the word of wisdom and he said that he will live it! We are with the vision of baptism for the 31 of August. I am a little hesitant to write this though because anything can happen, but I am pretty sure that it will work out!

I am (sort of) sad to hear that school starts tomorrow, but it will be a good year and it will pass by super fast! I got mom's letter today, but I haven't read it yet I am real excited to read it!! It is pretty cool that Mase went on a date yesterday. I am pretty impressed because it wasn't even a dance.

Well, my time is coming to a close, but it was another good hour talking to y'all! I love you lots and hope that you have an awesome week!

Love,
Elder Stringer
