2/4

I am a horrible big sister. I am so terribly sorry for not keeping up with this as well as I should have while Elder Winslett was gone. Since he is due home tomorrow, I figured I would get the rest of his letters up. I am sorry. ~~ Jeni


Hola!

Well, this week has gone sagnificantly better! I will tell you alllll about it in a moment. I not only changed the way I filter people, I also changed just about everything and the way I do it. And yes we are beginning to see these fruits. Like on Sunday this inactive lady brought her two kids and wants them both to get in the water. So this week we will be teaching them, and probably throw them in the water on saturday! Also have a few others that have just randomly poped up And are desiourous to baptise! I think the Lord is starting with the blessing again! So glad too! It was getting pretty rough for me! All good though, we gonna get stuff done!

Yeah, the water works its just there is hardly any pressure and sometimes we do not have water at all. When that happens we have barrels in the house full of water to use and what not. As for bathing, I dont. Just kidding. Normally it is just a low pressure shower, but when we dont have water, Ijust take hot water bucket baths! Exciting no? The reason why we dont always have water here, is because there is only like 4 tanks of water and like 40 houses to supply too... Menaing people use the water up quickly and then we have to wait for more water to come up to the tanks... Its complicated, but the land lady is working on it.

Yeah, I am slowly reviving my comp, but its taking quite a bit of work. Just gotta have patience, and He´ll get there...Thanks for the tips too. Imight use some. He has motivation, its just all his previous comps have been super disobedient and have not wanted to do anything. So yeah. But I,am working on it. HE gets up on timenow, for the most part. I am pretty sure he fel the Spirit that I felt, which once again was Awesome! hjahahah,but he never said anything about it. I do tell him that we have to be out on the street by 11, and so for the most part he is good on that. The investigators dont really notice his laziness, but then again they dont really know what to expect from us. Its all good though, I pray for him and do my best to help him so that we can have success!

I plan on doing a bit of School hunting when I get home. But I am pretty sure BYU-P is where I am going. And yes I probably wont start until January... Maybe a class or two in the winter semester, but nothing big... I will also be doing scholarships and what not. I understand now that they really do help! I will do all that stuff right when I get home. Speaking of coming home in Spetember. Still have not heard anything on if we are going home early or not. Dont know why President has not made a decision....

As for stuff with me....

Well, like I said I am beggining to see those fruits that i have been so anxious to have... So I think a few baptisms and other success is coming down the road soon.

Remember how on Tuesday we had Elder Nelson come andtalk to us. Well It was awesome. Lots and lots of motivating along with a lineage talk and how we were saved for this time, this mission, this moment to be here and to teach these people in ;Mexico. It was so cool, and so inspiring!

Also got that package. Picture attached! Thanks so much! I am soooo enoying those Starbursts! and the Jelly bellys.! I had totally forgotten about those until just now! They are sooooo good! Thanks!

Also found a bag of Funyuns here at Walmart. I just about cried when I saw it. No not really. But I seriously was so excited! Funyuns are soooo good! hahaha! Ill send a picture of those in a minute too!

Ok, now for some crazy news. Elder Holland came on Tuesday and talked with the students at the Church high school here. Benemerito de las Americas. Well, that school is right smack dab in the middle of my mission. And he closed it! As in it will no longer be working. The semester is going to finish up in June, and then in July it will reopen up as a new MTC! Crazy huh!? All the Canadian, American, and Latino missionaries that are going to a LAtin mission will be coming here! It is sooooo crazy! The MTC here in Mexico by the temple is still going to be working. And The one in the States as well. There are just so many more missionaires coming in soon and so they have have somewhere to train them all! There is two reasons why Holland closed it. 1. Because alot of the students wherent paying for Tuition, and so it was causing the church to loose alot of money, and 2. Because Holland said that there is just no time to make another MTC here in MExico. There is just not any time. So Benemerito was the solution. That is going to be right smack dab in the middle of my mission! So cool. Uhuh! And now here is some specualtion of mine. You know about these six steps that President gave us, well, the Apostles and other general authorities have been watching our mission and doing studies on the six steps. I think they have accepted it. And so my speculation is that President finishes his mission in June and I think he will then be moved over to the new MTC to be the MTC president and teach all the new missionaries the 6 steps, thus allowing them to have more success! Once again it is just my speculation and so I have no idea if it will actually happen. But I just thought it was cool.

Yup.

Lots of news this week. Things are accelarting and they are doing it for a reason. I am so glad that I am getting to be a part of all these changes and to be able to see this in person!

Well, that is all the news for this week! I should have a few baptisms to report next week, and so expect those!

I will be sending a few fotos here in a minute too! so yeah enjoy!

LEs amo!
Elder TSFWWWP Winslett
