So I received my new companion. His name is Elder Guillen! He is from Bolivia. He can speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English. He is teaching me how to speak Portuguese right now and it is SO cool.
We got to listen to general conference this week and it was so uplifting to know that there are Prophets praying for our success and for our needs every single day. I hope that one day I can be so selfless.
There were a lot of changes in our zone here in Mexico so we didn't have to opportunity to teach very much but this week we are going to do everything in the world we can to get a lot of baptisms!
He just wants to talk to everybody in the streets and just get a thousand of references but we aren't allowed to do that kind of missionary work here so he is a little bummed.
Something quick that Id like to share that I learned this week from the conference is that we can never look back.
¨"Look how much we've done!"
"Look how much more we have to do"
I think that we should remember what we have done, but should always have our noses in the dirt, on the grind, and working as hard as we can to accomplish all the things that are yet to come. It was great to hear especially because I'm just starting my mission, but I have to work so much harder every day!
I love you all! I pray for you all every single night!
I hope you all don't forget me! haha
Con mucho amor.
Elder Winters
