Mowing the Lawn

Well, I have an awful lot to write and this week was great! We had the baptism of João Carlos on Saturday, it was an awesome experience and I was super happy to see Elder Dias baptize.  I am happy that he had the experience of finding, teaching and baptizing while being trained. We tried to get all of the members to bring friends to the baptism, but nobody did, it was kinda lame. But the baptism was awesome and we talked to him yesterday and he's happy and already asked us how to pay tithing! hahaha!! It is really super great!

We did a family night with our ward mission leader and some other people! It was a blast, the best family night that I have done here on the mission! Also I finally was able to take a picture next to the famous Scooby lanches (scooby snacks). It was awesome.

We also did a service project, we mowed a lawn. I included a picture of my very high tech and efficient "lawn mower". (it´s the picture of me with a stick that has a piece of metal at the end.) Needless to say, I was exhausted and thought that I was going to die after 2 hours of "lawn mowing". (but at least I didn't have to scoop any poop).

I got sick again this last week. It's a long story, but I ended up staying out in the cold for hours because we were locked out of our apartment until we were able to find a ladder long enough to reach the second floor. 

I am super happy to hear about byu's success and I will be able to walk around with a smile on my face! I am also glad to hear that the ring was wanting to be found even though smeagol-john lost the precious! hahahah!!!! 

On a more serious note, I know that our prayers are answered and that many people (including ourselves) can be blessed through prayer and hard work. I am super happy and am enjoying myself a lot! I hope that you all are too! Have an awesome week!

Love,

Elder Stringer
