last week:
Ya'at'eeh! Things are going super smooth now here in
"Chilly Burrito" and Elder Winborg have already hit it off
pretty well! We get along and he has already started taking the lead in
teaching situations so it wont be long till its just a regular and equal
companionship without hiccups or bumps in teaching. He has a really powerful
testimony too. Its great to hear him teach and testify as a new missionary with
conviction and with the spirit. Proof that anyone can be a missionary and that
all you need is the spirit to teach. We aren't the ones talking, its the Lord
talking through us! That's what I am beginning to understand more fully this
new transfer and it is great! Last Monday we met with a couple recent converts
to try and review what they were thought before baptism but it turned into them
asking Elder Winborg a bunch of questions so it was pretty hectic haha. Once
everyone has met my new companion then maybe we will be able to teach.. But its
good. Tuesday we worked in Dennehotso and helped the senior couple out there
build a porch and pour concrete so that was fun! Wednesday we saw a few people
we needed to visit so that was good. Thursday was pretty regular. Friday we met
with a super cool guy named Mickey! He went to school in Utah as a kid and was
baptized as a teenager but since he got home he has never been back to church.
We found him earlier in the week and got to share the Plan of salvation with
him. He is super exited to come back to church, especially since it has been 40
years! great guy and I am glad we were led to find him! Saturday we took apart
a shed that had blown over at a members home and that was cool. we also meet
with a Family who is committed to coming back to church because they know it
will strengthen their family. The wife is not a member so we will be inviting
her to baptism soon. Yesterday we Invited a brother and sister to baptism and
they gladly excepted. We have been teaching them for a week now and they are
all for it. They remember what we teach them and they read every day! We have 3
other people that we will be inviting to baptism this week so there are more on
the way! Things are going good and I love this place more than ever. The people
here are what make it good. Thank you for your letters and emails this week,
talk to you next Monday!

This week's emails - he's not much of a talker!:
email 1: The MRI shows nothing is wrong with my brain so I will be
fine. Sister Batt just thinks its stress and that there is nothing too crazy to
be worried about. I haven't had a headache for a week now so It's going away.
email 2: By the way, my camera broke... Last Monday right after I
emailed I turned it on and the lens jammed up. It is stuck half way out and I
cant do anything to fix it. I think the motor in the camera went out. I'll send
it home on Thursday. You should see if that make and model of camera is common
for lens problems and see if you can talk to Panasonic about covering it under
warranty. This is the 3rd camera that has had the same problem...
email 3: I was very exited when I found out brother Newby is the
Bishop. I freaked out and told my companion that my Priest quorum adviser is now
my bishop!
email 4: So... To make this short...
I need you to contact this number for me (gives the number)
It's the Ahasteen's in Many Farms and they left me a treat
with a note saying call them on our door step Saturday night. I cant call them
to say thank you so could you or Sister Logan do it for me? Tell them thank you
soo much!
email 5: Bye! Love You Mom! Talk to you next Monday!
