Hey guys!
Too bad people don’t like the cranberry salad.... I miss it... well I’ll be able to try it again in a year! My week was okay. Maria fell off the face of the earth and Lupe is still doing okay. I should still be here for Christmas because President wants us to stay in our areas for at least 6 months. I’m excited for the house! Yes Facebook is a huge temptation and it’s hard because you find yourself just scrolling through every once in awhile. I hate it honestly I wish we didn’t have it haha. But it’s good for missionary work and we have had success from it.
Last Monday was actually alright. We had our usual routine. We took the Summerwood Elders shopping, they don’t have a car, and went looking around the Dicks Sporting Goods store. Elder Stringfellow bought a Houston astros World Series shirt. They are cool. I forgot to mention, Houston was nutso crazy when they won. The city basically shut down for a day or two. It was good for the city though, after everything we’ve been through from Harvey. We went to the church and played basketball and some indoor soccer. It was fun!
Tuesday we had Spanish class in the morning and that was good as usual. We did some planning and studies and then we tried some people. We tried Maria’s house that day and no answer. Tuesday night we exchanged and Elder Aybar came with me in my area. He has about 5 months in the mission. He’s from the Dominican Republic. He’s cool.
Wednesday Elder Aybar and I went to visit Lupe in the morning. She was her usual funny self. After that we were having car troubles so we took it in to firestone. There was a lo wait and we ended up being there till 5.. while we were waiting we went across the street to a member owned pizza place called Persona. We got free pizza and waited for our car to be done. While we were eating something magical happened! Elder Riches walked in!!! My old, and one of my favorites, companion! He didn’t see me so I snuck up behind him and tapped him on his shoulder. He turned around and his face was priceless! He was freaking out and so happy! It had been awhile since we’ve seen each other. They were up in Summerwood for a doctors appointment and just stopped in to get some free pizza. We talked for a while and it was good to catch up with him. After our car was done we went to play soccer in the church because it was raining outside. That was fun as usual.
Thursday we had weekly planning and other than that the day was boring. For the evening we went to mutual and played soccer with the young men there. There was some of the hermanas investigators there so it was fun.
Friday we had district meeting which was good. We did some studies and visited some homies. Friday night we had a ward Thanksgiving party. It was good and lots of people showed up. I was really upset though... there was no pumpkin pie. I guess I shouldn’t expect much from Spanish area anyway, the Thanksgiving dinner was very Mexican haha. There was turkey though and that was tasty.
Saturday we took leftover food from the party over to Lupe and her family because they couldn’t make it. One of her sons has autism so they had to stay with him. We went to a store for a minute in the ghetto and Stringfellow bought a drink. We were in the check out line and all of a sudden we hear, “hey boo.” We didn’t think anything of it so we kept doing our thing. Then we heard it again. “Hey boo.” And Stringfellow turned around to an older black lady calling him boo. She said, “what’s up boo how’s it going?” She was hitting on him, probably because he’s so tall... so we just grabbed our stuff and walked out haha. It was funny and his face was bright red.
Sunday was boring. We had church and it was the primary program. That was pretty good. We were pretty unsuccessful though all day. We had dinner with the Jasso family and that was good. That was our week!
My week was alright! Hope you guys have a good one! Love y’all!
