How are you all doing? Surviving the regular world? I hope you all are doing great and want to start off by telling you that I'm doing awesome! This past week has been just as crazy as the first, but, to my great surprise, it has flown by! Elder Garcia and I have been working hard this week and I feel that our work has paid off. We set our goals rather high this week and we achieved them! We were so happy! We have found several new investigators, but what I'm most excited about is a family of 10 that we have had the wonderful opportunity to start teaching! They are the Luna family and they seem to be enjoying the lessons and progressing well, which is such a great opportunity! The people here in Bolivia are AMAZING! They are so nice and even if they are not interested in our message they are super polite and loving. Along with teaching opportunities, I had the ability to go on two exchanges this week, one with a zone leader, Elder Fuentes, and one with the district leader, Elder Romero. They were both amazing and I really loved being able to go out and get a feeling of what different companions can be like. Besides that, it has mostly just been going to work and trying to spread this beautiful message that is the gospel, and though not everything is all sunshine and rainbows, the majority of everything here is just amazing and I love it. The message I want to share with you this week is about service. First off, my companion, Elder Garcia, has been experiencing some back and shoulder problems, so if you could keep him in your thoughts and prayers I would greatly appreciate it. With this, and just being in Bolivia, there have come some great opportunities to serve. Whether it be cooking dinner or doing laundry for my companion, or helping a ward member with a project in their home, or even just playing piano for church meetings, I have had so many wonderful opportunities to serve those around me, and this has been one of my favorite things here in the mission so far. I'm learning that using whatever abilities or talents that I might be blessed with is so enormously gratifying. So, I challenge all of you this week to go out and serve! Maybe for your family, a friend, a neighbor, etc. We all have been blessed with so many talents and abilities, so go out and use them to help someone in need! I want you to know that you're all amazing! I am the person I am today because all of you: My amazing village of people to support and help me. If you have any more questions on anything, feel free to send an email. I hope you all have wonderful weeks!
Elder Wynn
