Hellooooo!!

Hey!
the pronunciation of the city that I am in is more or less like this:
 oo-roo-goo-eye-ah-nah

but you have to say it pretty fast or else you sound really silly.

I don't have a whole lot to say... we moved into our new apartment, which is waaaaaaayyyyy better than the house that we were in. We started at 7 oclock tuesday morning and didn't finish until 8 at night. It was tiring. but you should see the new place, I really dig it. (and I am finally sleeping in a bed).

We had a good week, we marked two baptisms for the 12th of October. They are pretty much set in stone, but I still am always on edge until after the confirmation. I am soooooooooooo!!!!!!!! excited for general conference!!! It is going to be super cool! They are two of the greatest days for a missionary, I think! (I will also buy some candy and sneak it into the chapel) hehehehe...

I am pretty sure that I will get nice and skinny here. hehehehe, but seriously. It is super hot during the summer and another good thing is that the members give us juice instead of soda during lunch. Also this city is notorius for getting missionaries sick.  But there is no reason to fear or be worried or anything like that because I will be fine and I wont get sick!

But seriously, I am doing well, and I am happy. The gospel brings a happiness into your life that can't be described, I have noticed that. at the begining of my mission it was hard and I wasn't always so happy, but as I started to study and work harder and learn more about the gospel and our Savior, I have gotten happier. It is pretty incredible I think. And believe it or not, but I have found myself thinking that 14 months isn't going to be enough time for me to do everything that I want to.

Thanks a ton for the emails and I love hearing from you guys. It makes me happy to hear that you are well and all of the adventures that you are having (like Mason getting asked to a dance or something, which he didn't tell me. bum.) And also it gives me motivation and stuff like that to work during the week.

Love,

Elder Stringer
