Week #20
Hey everyone,
Okay so this week was a little bit of a harder week with not as much success! So it was a little long and my letter is a little shorter this week again.
My companion went to the temple this week and had a meeting since she is going home, Thursday. I was with other Hermanas a lot this week, which was fun. Last week had a great week for numbers and this week our numbers weren’t so great! We spent a lot of time outside, but it was good as well because we worked really hard. Although we didn’t find anyone new to teach, I know that all of our hard work is going to pay off. Although the week was a little frustrating, it just helped us to work all that more harder. We also had a lot of fun anyways. We had our Christmas activity, which was really fun. We played a lot of different sport and ate completos and so it was nice to have a little brake and just have fun with the other missionaries.
Victor still is preparing for his baptism, but he is going to move right after. I am a little nervous about that as well. He forgets things a lot and a member told us that it is because of his dialysis. So we are a little worried what will happen after he moves, so we are really trying to work hard with him.
Belen and Jonathon are doing alright, but again didn’t go to church. They are talking about getting married, but in a year, so we are really trying to work with them to help them to progress. Please pray for them.
I am going to be in a trio after my companion leaves with Hermana Dana from Argentin and Hermana Aycho from Peru, who only has 2 weeks in the mission. I am excited to work with them and I am sure it will help my Spanish. I am just a little nervous because we have to work in both of our sectors and we are in different wards so that will be a little interesting.
I love you all and am so very grateful for your support.
Love,
Hermana Stringham
Week #19
Everyone,
Wow this week has gone by so fast. We have been working really hard and we have seen it. Our numbers have like tripled! It is crazy! We are working a lot with this Christmas video that is called, “He is the gift”. We have been able to get into so many houses with this video, that would not have said yes otherwise. It has been really cool.
My new companion is really great. She is really hardworking and direct, which has helped our sector a lot. I have loved working with her even though we only will have a short time together as she goes home on the 18th. I am going to be put in a trio with the other girls in our house. It will be interesting to see how that goes, as we will have to work in both of our sectors and we are going to have to trade off going to different wards. But I know there is a reason for all things and it will all work out great.
Okay so this week we taught Victor twice. The first time we taught he said that he wasn’t sure about somethings and that maybe in 2 years he would be ready for a baptism. We told him that he needed to pray about it. When we returned he had completely changed and asked us when he could be baptized. We set a date for the 2nd of January as he has to quit smoking. But he hasn’t smoked since and is doing pretty good. Please pray for him. We are working with a lot of people and I am really excited to see how this week goes.
I am so sorry my letter is really short this week, as I don’t have a lot of time to write. Sorry! I love you all so much and I a praying for you all. I will write more next week.
Love ya,
Hermana Stringham
