Week 53

Inside Out - Eve 6

 An interesting sign we saw on the wall of a school in Wanyange . A very powerful message for us all, especially with the church speaking out so much lately on suicide prevention. No matter what challenges we may see in our life there is always hope, especially through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This week has been a bit of a Roller Coaster... Ups, Down's, All-arounds... and even an Inside Out. Buckle Up and enjoy hearing about my week.

Monday was pretty Normal. Tuesday we had an exchange with the Zone Leaders. Elder Dailey and I got to work with Elder Millecam. It was a fun day. It felt more like a party. 

Wednesday we had Interviews with President Collings. He Gave us some good news and advice for what to expect next transfer. I'm glad to know what's coming so I know what to prepare for. It should be an interesting ride! He bought us lunch after even though he couldn't stay long.

Thursday we had a zone finding activity in Wanyange where they just built a new chapel. It sucked up a lot of time, but it seemed like a success.

Friday was mostly normal. We were invited as a district to have dinner for someone's birthday. The food was very nice. We got home a little late and we were tired. We all began winding down for the night. That's when I turned Inside out. All night I was awakened just about every hour and slowly but surely emptied my body of any food that may have been present. This is what the missionaries call "The Double Dragon". I don't want to get any more graphic here, but I think most of you probably understand. By about 6:30 AM there wasn't really anything left to empty out of my body and I was able to finally sleep. By noon on Saturday I could hold in some water, and thereafter I Lived on Mango Juice (Thanks to Elder Ojakol who bought me Mango Juice) until I could slowly introduce solid food into my body on Sunday Afternoon. Luckily I got over it fast. This experience is pretty common to the missionaries here, but it usually lasts longer and I haven't experienced it until this far into my mission. Woo Hoo!

I'm sorry the most interesting thing I have to share is my sickness, but that's the way the week has gone! We are seeing good success with our investigators and they are slowly progressing. Soon I should be able to share some of their specific stories as they unfold. 

For now, I suppose I am through writing. I Love you guys, and I hope you have a good week!

Love,

Elder Winn
