Well.....it would appear as if my last e-mail solicited some
worried responses (looking at you Mom),
so first off, I would like to
assure all of you that I am doing great!!!
Callao is not what it's made out to be.....well, at least
not the part I'm in. I'm in a fairly wealthy part of the district, which means
a few gated communities, and not that many....uhh....ruffians.
So, everything's very peaceful and tranquil.
Now....to inform you all a bit about the work.
Things are going great!!! We're finding new people left and
right!!! The majority of names that we plan for daily are people that we have
found while I was here!
Right now we're teaching Daniel, he's our investigator who's
progressing the most. His girlfriend is a member, and he wants to learn more.
He is 25 years old and pretty excited to learn, we
should be planning his baptism for next week, or the week that follows.
In other news.......I can think about 3 other
announcements.....
Number 1: We've got a great ward missionary here. His name
is Nikola, his parents are Italian, and he's the best. He's pretty
much a third companion. He's with us about 6 hours a day, most days a week, the
only downside is he'll be leaving on his mission in a few months.....but until
then, he's a big help.
Number 2: We've had some changes with the mission
finances....so now we have to note every purchase we make on a sheet.....from a
3 cent gum, to lunch, dinner, toilet paper, soap......everything.....I'm
assuming it stems from the fact the President Larson was an accountant......
Number 3: We'll be changing houses soon.....the President
inspected our room and said that it would probably be better if we changed
houses due to a club located directly beneath our house.....and he's probably
right....
and......random tidbit:
Yesterday a 30 year old man named Danny said he was going to
bring his friends to church......and when he showed up there was like a group
of 10 kids, spanning from the ages of 8-12, following him.
Apparently when he gets home from work he plays soccer in
the street with them, and they're best friends......so we'll see if we can't get
some new families there!!!!!
Anyway!! That's about it!!! I love you all, and I'm doing
great!!!!!
Much love,
Elder Winn
Here's me and Ramirez celebrating Halloween!!! This was right before an activity we had with investigators and less actives!!!
and here's all of our chapel.....it's really tiny......
The sacrament hall is to the right, and the classes are to the left.
