{Sorry for the late postings! Things have been hectic here at the Winters home! I should be able to start posting Morg's emails on Tuesday's a little more regularly now! If you'd like to email her, she's asked that you email her at morgan.wint33@gmail.com!}

"i couldn't remember if I sent you this but it's us playing futbol and monday! so fun!!"

HELLO FAMILY
this week was crazy! One I was with Hermana Brown #bestweek! But we had a bunch of activities going on! We helped a family move one day! (Don’t worry I thought of you guys back home doing the same thing) Only the doors here are really small so we were tying things like stoves…washing machines…coaches…tables to ropes and lifting them up 4 floors so that was pretty interesting ha! Then we had an activity with the stake which was super fun we just played a bunch of games! That picture that I sent of the apple…that game was super awkward you have to both help each other eat the apple it’s just weird ha but also we were playing a game of soccer and all the young people wanted me to play! They were chanting my name HERMANA WINTERS HERMANA WINTERS! I felt like a cool kid not going to lie!

Also since me and Hermana Brown are both new and both very much white people, the Zone leader told us that we had to be home at 8 instead of 9 and that we had to call him right at 8 so they knew we made it home safe! And so our first night we got 4 calls..one for the zone leaders, one from the sister leader trainers, one from the district leader and one from the assistants, all making sure that we got home safe! We felt super loved!!

ME AND HERMANA BROWN did a CONTACT all on our own! I know it doesn’t seem like a lot but when you don’t speak a lot of Spanish you’re kind of scared to talk to people ha so we were pretty proud of ourselves!

I’m getting a new companion tomorrow…she is from UTAH so I get another English speaker! I kid you not, Heavenly Father knows I would die without an English speaker! So I’m really grateful because Spanish is still super hard and I keep getting frustrated. I did read in Ether 12:27 this week and that helped a lot!! I just need to realize that it’s going to take awhile and that I need to be patient and the Lord will help me with everything!! I just got to be patient which I am not good with!! But YOLO! So I got to do it!!

I didn’t make it to the clinic this week we are scheduled to go on Tuesday…tomorrow so I’ll let you know next week if they had to cut my foot off! (jokes..it donesn’t hurt that bad)  

But I love you all! Glad you are all done moving!! And I hope you like your new house! Love you!!
