Soooo Flippin Cold

Hey!

How is everyone? I am doing well, I got over my sickness. It got super hot for three days last week and then it got cold and rainy. It has been raining since Thursday! It is still raining, it is not much fun spending the whole day in the rain... but today will be cool cuz I will spend the rainy day inside!! Wippeeee!!!

This week was a good one! We are getting some real good work done and are really excited to see what will come in the next couple of weeks or so. The new second counselor of the area Brasil is going to come to Santa Maria on Wednesday and we will all go there! I am excited it should be good! We have been having some fun lately. We ordered chinese food and it came and the box was super small and it cost 19 reais and it tasted weird, but it was a good one time experience. I think I´ll just stick to the rice and beans. 

We went out to teach with a member and I learned about all of the new movies that have/will come out. I was baffled at how out of the loop/world I am! But I figure it is probably a good thing, one of the apostles said that missionaries have to live on a higher level, separate from the world. But still...

Everyone is asking for requests for my bday package so here are a few: a mini basketball hoop, pnut butter, something cool and fun. and that's about it. I cant believe that ash and john´s new digs has a swimming pool!!! What is this! Does it have a hot tub too? That is one of the things that I miss the most! When it is cold here, it is soooo flippin cold! And nowhere has heating or insulating so we are in the cold allll day!!!! And then I bury myself under the covers at night and 6:30 always comes way too fast. And I am back in the cold! I am looking forward to the heat again, but I am sure I will regret saying that when it comes!

I included a couple of pictures, one of the chinese food and the other was after we were attacked by a rain storm that popped out of nowhere! We were unprepared and had to run back home to change clothes and get umbrellas! (it is a pretty darn good looking pic if i may say so myself) Never mind, the computer won't let me attach files, next week I will send them!!!

Did college football start this week?! It is torture to me to think that every Saturday for the next couple of months I will not be able to sit and melt my brain in front of the tv! But this is the last full college football season that I will miss, so I will just tough it out!

I love you guys a ton and am excited to send you all my next email it is going to be boss!!!

Love,
Elder Stringer
