Week 20

They call me the Working Man (I guess that's what I am)

Me with my 'Father' (Elder Brewer) on the right, and 'Son' (Elder Bratsman) on the left.

Howdy Y'all!

Elder Winn here, filling a chasm in your Inbox!

First off: I've learned that sending mail through the PO Box in Salt Lake is super slow! This

Relaxation

week I got a card from my Grandma that had passed through Salt Lake in November, so for those of you who still send mail: You've been warned! I have however, enjoyed the many kind cards I've recieved whether through the PO box or directly to our Mission Office (Much faster by the way). Thank You for your Support! I put my mailing address in the signature for those of you who have been asking.

Honestly... I don't have a lot to write about this week. It was mostly just full of usual teaching appointments. Not even an unusual number of bounced appointments! This is a good thing though, because it means there weren't any crazy Bag-Snatching Boda Men, or Card-eating ATM's. Man, the last couple weeks have been crazy. It actually feels good to have a nice fairly normal week!

We did have Stake Conference on Sunday which meant getting up early and riding to Kololo. Elder Joni L. Koch (the area president) attended and gave a wonderful talk. That was nice.

MTC Throwback: The traditional MTC 'Map Picture'

Soon we should have some more baptism pictures to share, so that will be fun! We have lots of great Investigators, and I'm exticed for the next few weeks! We are just working super hard, and things just happen to be pretty routine right now. But that's okay, I truly am loving the work I'm doing!

I don't have much else to say... Hopefully the week ahead will have at least a fun story about how I pranked Elder Bratsman twice with a dead Cockroach (oh wait, that was this week, haha. Not much of a story), or how I chased a mouse around the apartment with a broom and killed it without a trap (oh wait, last week...), maybe something interesting will happen!

Anyway, I hope all of you have a wonderful week! At very least, enjoy my pictures from before entering the field (still no camera... maybe in a couple weeks!)

Love,

Elder Winn
