This week was extremely amazing! I was kind of sad that I had to leave my last area and all the people there, but have already grown close to all the members and investigators in my new area of Chuy! I love it here and my time is going to be amazing! As far as the address it is exactly the same. That address is the one of the mission home and everything goes there. After the offices send us our stuff through the mail. So you can just keep sending everything to the same place and in the same way! Guess what, guess what? I went to Brazil like 4 times last week and we ate lunch there too! It is pretty sweet that half of our area is in Guay and the other in Brazil! I will have to take some new pics of my area and send them too you! The ones I am sending now are of Punta del Este which was on the way to our area and I took some from the bus! My new comp is pretty cool, I wish I knew a little more about baseball cause he played in college, but it's all good. I think we are going to work really well together in this next change! We don't have a lot of investigators but we are working to find more and to strengthen the branch! Yesterday was a really good day, we had district conference! It was in a place called Trienta y tres (33) and the church there is 3 stories tall (well it has three floors)! We had the opportunity to listen to Pres Da Silva and his wife, the temple Pres and his wife, the district president, and an area seventy! It was super good and I was definitely edified! We had 5 investigators in church despite the fact we had to be at the church at 5:45 in the morning and it was a 3 hour bus ride there and back! It was kind of long, but totally worth it! The two investigators we have are getting the date for their marriage today and after that they can get baptized! I am super excited! We also have a senior couple (missionaries) that are in our area/zone and they visit frequently to help us. You wouldn't believe where they are from.....Texas! Elder Davidson anyways, but his wife is from Brigham and she is the sister of David Yates (my teacher at the high school) and Leland Yates that use to teach school at Perry! They are super nice and a great help in the missionary work! They are helping a lot to make Chuy a ward also and to form a stake. They even said they would take us out to dinner one day! I love my new comp, area, and the people here! I know that I am going to have more success as long as I keep working diligently and have faith. I know the Heavenly Father is preparing His children for us and that there are people ready to receive the gospel. I know that this church is true and I have no doubts in my mind or heart! I am away from my family, friends, and home for two years because I love my Father in Heaven and Savior and want to serve them. I know we are all blessed for our sacrifices and willingness to serve them. I love you all and thank you SO MUCH for all your love and support! Until next week!
LOVE
Elder Bowden
