Update on Sista Wintas!!

Howdy from the good ole' hot state of Texas!!
I'm still in F-Burg (the addy is on the side!!) and things are going! We got the chance to see my first convert, Bryan, go to the temple to do baptisms this past week and it was such an uplifting experience!! We were able to do a session before hand and got to sit in the celestial room for about 45 minutes!! Sitting there, reading from the BofM and pondering life is so great!! I've really missed being able to go to the temple as often as I did before I left, and whenever I can get to it, it's precious time and I pleasure in it!
And let me pass on a little tid bit to remember! If I ever complain about a Utah summer ever again, just remind of the buckets of sweat I had in Texas, and I'll shut my pie hole!! All the members have decided to inform me that this is the worst summer in years!! Past summers have not been this hot!!! (Of course our mission pres, Pres. Cutler, doesn't miss a beat to let us know it help builds character while we're knocking on those many doors)!!! If I keep eatting as healthy as I should, maybe I might loose weight too! (Can you tell I'm trying to find positives to this?)
Anyways, lots of excitign new things! I've got my first teaching pool assembled, but none of them are progressing at the moment, which is sad. Keep these people in your prayers, hopefully they'll continue on in their reading and prayers!:

There's our fine little pool for your viewing pleasure!!
I've loved the time we get for personal study in the mornings!! It's the best part of my day, besides knocking!!! ;) I've recently taken up Jesus The Christ by James E Talmage. So far, it's so intriguing and is also pulling me away from the BofM, so I've gotta focus on doing it last after PMG and BofM!! I don't know why I didn't read it before! It's full of awesome info on the BofM and of course, Jesus, and TONS of teachings of the prophets!! I love it and recommend it to everyone and anyone!!
Also, lovest thou me? If so, please fill my inbox!! Or mailbox, which is even better cause I get to read those letters during the week!!! Mail as a missionary is precious and I LOVE getting it!! Feel free to send me anything you wish! And if you do, you might get some cool things from Texas, maybe even a photo or 2!!! ;)
Love ya'll!!! Hope everything at home is going good and ya'll are in my prayers more often then you think!!
