So....
It's almost the end of the transfer!! My 5th in fact!! I'm almost to my 1/2 way mark and I can barely believe it!! It's pretty crazy yo!! Sometimes it seems like I've been doing this forever and it's normal life, then there's times when I'm talking to someone and it dawns on me that I'm a wierdo, who loves Jesus, and is trying to help everyother person in Texas love Jesus just as much as I do!!! Yep...we missionaries are pretty wierd! I can't remember a day when I shied away from a boy, but believe it or not, I am!! Haha! (I had to put that in)!
Anyways, I'm so amazed at how much people can change in such a short amount of time, or even do things I never thought they would do! My mom told me of a beautiful act of service I would never see my little sister do, but she did it!! I'm totally donating to your mission fund in a few years!!!
Anyways...I've gotta go!!! Busy busy missionaries!!
Love ya'll!
38 more days till Chirstmas!!!

NEW ADDRESS!!!!!!
Hey ya'll!!!!
I'm now in....AUSTIN TEXAS!!! Whoo!!! Ha ha! (For my new address, just look under the picture on the side!!! ------------------------------------------------->>>>>>>>>
I got here last Thursday afternoon and got my new companion, Sister Harris! She's from Salt Lake, so it's cool to kind of relate to her! It was funny, she actually was friends with one of my companions from the MTC, Sister Fonua!!
So, my new area is called Anderson Mill/Cypress Creek. We cover 2 wards...I never knew that was a lot of people...but it so is!! My brain feels about ready to explode from the information overload!!!! Craziness!!
We also live at a members home! Which can always lead to interesting times...maybe! She's a lovely little lady, who I have lovingly deemed as "shorty", who is in her 50's and is single. And there aren't a whole lot of rules, which is really sweet! She asked the bishop if we could stay till after christmas, so we're staying till after christmas!!
I miss Fredericksburg to pieces, the members there were awesome! And still are!! But it's so nice to get into a new area and see new people! We're in the finding stages right now, so pray that we'll find someone and also...keep up with the writing! I love hearing from ya'll!
And a quick shout out to my little sister MORGAN!!!! She just turned 17 YEARS OLD!!!! Holy crap! I'm getting so old! Life is so fast...who would have thought you'd have to grab every moment so fast! But do it! It's so much more rewarding!
Love,
Sister Winters

And I Am....
Going to see a new part of the mission!!!!!
That's right ya'll! I'm gettin' transferred from F-Burg this thursday to who knows where!
I have to say it's been a lovely 6 months that I have been able to spend here and I haven't exactly loved EVERY minute of it, but that's just life!
We had a wonderful weekend! It included the baptism of a wonderful friend of mine, Laura Palmerin!! She's 21 and I will forever love that girl! It took her a while to get to this point, but she made it none-the-less and I was so happy to be able to see it!
The Lord has blessed me with many wonderful friends that I consider to be family and it will be hard to leave them! Unlike the MTC, this process is not like a band aid, you have to "sit around" for a few days until it's finally ripped! So wish me luck that I won't turn into a really BIG boob and cry this place into a flood!
I'm so glad that I'm here and that I'm serving the Lord! It's really hard to imagine where I would be otherwise!
I love and miss ya'll! I'll be sure to put my new addy up when I get it next week! But I do want to hear from you! If you're reading this, I'm already checking the mail box!!! ;)

Ok, I've got 2 minutes to tell ya'll that I love ya and I wanna hear from ya!!
Write me home dawgs!!!! Goodness!!!
I'm glad everything back home is changing, sooner rather than later, I'll find out!
I hit my 6 month mark on the 8th of October!! That's nuts!! Only a year left? Thats so cruel! Life flies by so fast, how do we ever get used to it changing? Sooner than you think I'll be walking off a plane to a family that has grown a TON while I've been gone. HOLY CRAP!!
Love ya!

Hey!!! Life in Fredericksburg is going swimmingly! We've got some sweet investigators lined up to get dunked in September! At least 4! We've just gotta keep teaching them and helping progress as best we can!
Its crazy how easily Satan can mislead you and get you discouraged! We had a real eye opener this past weekend about how we really need to stay focused on the work and keep our faith in the fact that our Savior will help us with any inadequacies we feel! I'm so happy to be a missionary! It's so much fun and I've experienced a lot of new things!
I love ya'll!! Adios!
