Transfers coming! Back to the good ol' Country!

HOLA! Hey! I have lots to tell you and not a lot of time but the keyboard feels good and I should be able to type it all pretty fast. First off...I don't think I need anything from home. I am so glad that you got my package...I was kind of worried cause I heard that the Uruguyan mail system was on strike. I read that they were not allowing packages to come in or send them out? I honestly don't know the details? It said it has been 27 days since they are on strike and I received my other package in that time period I think? Just let me know if you find out anything. WOW! Getting ready for the temple open house that's so exciting! Last week I also received some letters from the Perry 9th ward beehives.....the shortest one came from my little sister! Oh well I guess I just have to be grateful that they write! We often hear about the Olympics and how out basketball team scores 156 points! It was cool cause the field where all the professionals play is in our area so we got to see a couple of famous players like Suaraz, Cavani, and the rest of the team that went to London. It is kind of a bummer for Guay cause they already got eliminated! We heard our girls soccer team is still playing...Go USA! We also saw the first black girl to win the gymnastics competition and the funny thing is she is from Virginia (the same state as Elder Jenkins)! He was proud but is not to happy now....he has another comp from Utah again! HAHA! He is staying here in Aeroparque and I am leaving! I am going back to my last zone....Durazno! It is an area called Charrua and is in the city of Paso de los Toros! That's right I am going back out into the campo or country and it could even be my last area! It's so crazy to see things winding down...I mean Chris is going home in like two months! My new comp is Elder Reyes. He is from Seattle Washington but is basically Mexican. Both of his parents are from there and he was born in the states. I don't know him but I did meet him once and he seems like a great missionary like all of my comps! One more thing....I will be the District leader again. I am excited to serve the the members of my district again and continue to do the best I can. Today has been kind of crazy cause we have been going around to buy some things and them we are going to visit some people before I leave tomorrow. Just so you know I bought a jersey so it should show up on my transactions. I am doing great, loving the mission, and praying that I will be able to give it my all. I don't want to make mom trunky or anything but I have to tell you a story! We have a member we who was less active cause of health problems but she has come to church a few times since I have been here. We visited her and her husband yesterday and she said she had a dream about a woman. She was blond and lived really far away. She said that she didn't look sad but could tell that she was missing someone. It was her son who was off on his mission! She said that she was dreaming of you! I couldn't do anything but laugh! Its ok mom cause I miss you too as well as everyone else! I continue to pray for you all and I know that the Lord will always watch over you! I know that this church is true and I could never deny it! I have felt so many spiritual expressions/confirmations and seen so many miracles that it would be impossible. I know that it is the best life we can live! It makes us truly happy and prepares us to live with God again. I know that He lives and loves us. I know that families can be together forever. I know that Book of Mormon is essential to our testimony. I don't have to much to share about the temple except the advice to do all you can to get there and if you already have a recommend go as often as possible. The temple is amazing and the feelings are undesirable! It is truly the connection between heaven and earth! LOVE YOU! MISS YOU! Until next week! UN ABRAZO Y MI AMOR Elder Bowden
