Time flies when you are serving!

Hola Familia!
Wow! Who changed the time schedule? I think they cut out a few days and now there isn't enough time to do anything? This week is already over and I can't believe it. All the other missionaries tell me that the first area is the longest and then it goes by quicker, but the time is already going by so fast! This week was a little bit of a test for me, at least a little harder. It started when I went on a intercambio with an other elder and he is kind of disobedient. I had to basically sit at a members house with him and try not to watch the NBA playoffs while he was enjoying it. Then we had a really nasty lunch that was basically fat and noodles which made me sick to my stomach for 2 days. Now I have some sort of a cold and I can't get rid of it. I got some medicine form the pharmacy but I don't know if its working. I cough a lot and have a super bad congestion problem. The bad thing is I never get to rest to let myself get better cause we always work. Its alright though cause I know that the Lord will do all he can to help me accomplish his purposes here in Uruguay. I also burnt some toast cause our toaster pops up but it doesn't turn off. Then I tried to get rid of the burnt toast and burned my finger, it feels better now and I can still type so I think I'm good. Its always great to hear from you guys and hear your testimonies, it always strengthens mine. We have an investigator, maybe two that will be getting baptized on the 10th of June! It so great to see some fruits of all your labor and even more important, see people change their lives to follow the Savior. I found out that Marbles is probably the second most popular sport in Uruguay next to soccer of coarse, both of which are played in the streets. The picture of Elder Stilwell with the kidnapped dog...ya that's right we kidnapped a dog.....Well its time to rap things up, I know that the Lord knows us personally and we can feel of his love and comfort when we follow him. I know that this is his church and he has called a prophet to lead us today.
Love you all,
Elder Bowden
