Week 96

The Final Countdown - Europe

Amos's Baptism

Today was the beginning of my last transfer, leaving me with six weeks before I conclude my mission. It is crazy to think that it is almost over, but I have a long way to go before then and many goals yet to accomplish! It's even crazier to think that I have been waiting almost two years to use that email title!

Last week we had a wonderful Zone activity. It was a Fireside by the fire side! We had a

nice little campfire devotional, with S'mores for dessert. Brother Daines who I talked about last week was the hero of the hour and was kind enough to bring the S'more fixings upon request from the Maughans. Everybody loved it.

Brother Amos was baptized this week. He is the oldest son of brother Reverien who we baptized a while back. Amos was there when we first met the family, but left for boarding school shortly thereafter. We sent Amos with a Book of Mormon and a set of pamphlets to read along with the promise that if he would have daily prayer and scripture study it would help him find greater success in school. He did it, and was ranked 2nd in his class! Brother Reverien said that each week when Amos would call he would want to talk about the Church. It was quite a sweet moment to watch him finally get baptized. I am so grateful to have been here still!

We are seeing a lot of progress among the people we teach, and the next six weeks look bright! I am grateful to be finishing my mission right here in Rwanda with Elder Falaula!

That about wraps up my week! I hope you all have a great one!

Love,

Elder Winn
