Tratra ny Krismasy! I can't believe it's almost
Christmas! Even though it's summer here and is still really hot you can still
feel the Christmas spirit! In two weeks I get to Skype with most of ya'll and I
can't wait! Now on to the week!
This week was a crazy week and I have a lot of really
cool stories. To start off on Tuesday Elder Hein and I taught the poorest
family we've been to so far....They live in a one room house with no
electricity or running water. They have a dirt floor and the only two things in
the house were a twin bed for the parents and a candle sitting on the window
ledge. All seven kids sleep on the dirt floor and they only have one set of
clothing. It literally broke my heart when I walked in. It's really humbling
being here in Mada and seeing the poverty all around. I'm just really grateful
for what I have and were I live. If you get the chance please read the talk by
Elder Holland that he gave in this last conference. It has changed my life!
Sorry to start off with a sad story but I got some better
ones! Yanta, Flavien, and Sylvie all passed their baptism interviews! They'll
be getting baptized on Dec. 20! Either Elder Hein or I wont be here but it's
all good! Personally, I think Elder Hein will leave and become AP but we'll
wait and see, haha!
I also went on another split with Elder Rasafamandimby.
He still speaks no English but this time I was able to talk with him a lot
more! It was a really good split other than we got caught in the rain and all
the streets and rice patties flooded. Just walking down the street I had water
up to my mid calf! Haha, we got super wet but It was such a good experience!
Our stats this week were through the roof! Our district
of three companionships alone had 60 lessons taught! It was a really tough week
and we came home dead every night but it was so worth it!
That's about it for the week! Tomorrow we have Zone
Conference and I can't wait! It's my last week with Elder Hein and we're going
to kill it. I'm super bummed that we're almost done working together but I'm
finally done with the training program! The mission just keeps getting faster
and faster each week! I don't have a lot of pics this week just because we were
so busy but next week I should have a lot because we will be getting pics with
investigators and members! I love you all so much and I hope ya'll have a great
week!
Love,
Elder Stringfellow
