Hey everyone!
How was your week?? Can you believe that we're in June already?! I hope that everything went well this past week and I hope that it goes even better this week! As for me, it was a rather normal, but still really good week here in Tupiza :) I would like to focus on Febe and José, Vicente Fernandez, and Magalí. Febe and José continue progressing as normal. What surprises me more than anything is the rate at which they are progressing. They have such a desire to learn and know if it is true, so they have been reading the Book of Mormon a LOT and are both almost finished with Jacob. We have already taught them all the lessons and they have a baptismal date for the 16th of June, so we will continue preparing them for that date. With Vicente Fernandez (It's really Vicente Quispe, but his favorite singer is Vicente Fernandez from Mexico, so he likes it when we call him by that name ;), we are just really happy :) Vicente, as stated in past emails, has problems with his memory, but he still continues to progress and try his hardest to learn. He came to Church yesterday and gave me a huge hug, making me feel amazing, and I just love him :) We hope that he can continue progressing and learning :) Lastly, our recent convert, Magalí. Magalí continues strong and impresses me more and more every day. She is currently preparing herself to travel with the branch this July to visit the temple and also got up yesterday in Sacrament meeting to bear her testimony. It is something amazing to see her continue progressing and she just makes me so happy :) I hope to continue working with her and can't wait to see her continue :) Now that I have talked about the investigators/recent convert that I wanted to mention, I would like to give a small thought and then talk about transfers. One of the amazing things about this Church is the amazing opportunity that we have to serve in callings. Just think about it. We all have the opportunity to contribute to this beautiful truth, whether it be in the Ward, Stake, or beyond. One thing that is important to remember is that every calling is important, from Primary Teacher to Stake President. No matter where we serve, we are making very important contributions to this Church. So, just to remind you all, don't worry about where you serve, just serve where you are called and make the difference that you are supposed to make. I promise you that you will find more happiness in your life if you serve where you are called, without disappointments, doing all that you can to complete with your calling. Remember, you were called by a servant of God to serve where you are, you are there for a reason, and happiness will find you wherever you are. That's a promise :) Well, now that I have talked about callings and accepting whatever comes your way, let's talk about transfers. This is always kind of a stressful time, as you truly have no idea what could happen, but they are also amazing, so here goes with my transfer: I am staying here with Elder Vergara, but something has changed. With Elder Perry leaving, I have been assigned as the new District Leader here in Tupiza. This is an amazing honor and I that I am able to serve to the best of my abilities in this assignment. If it is not to much to ask, I would love to ask for your prayers to help me with this assignment along with the normal daily work as a missionary. Thank you :) Well, This has been my week! I look forward to another transfer here in Tupiza with Elder Vergara and cannot wait to get back to work! I love you all and thank you for the amazing support that you always give me! I hope that you all have amazing weeks!

I took a selfie with my pention and her family!
El Choco (this is the slang they use here for all white people, so I HAD to take a photo with this ;)
Today was the anniversary of Tupiza, so the owner of our house barbecued a whole lamb! Really cool to see and he let us try some! So good!
I love you so, so much! I hope that you have a wonderful week!
Love,
Elder Wynn
