Wow! Everything is really crazy right now! I have so much to tell you and don't worry I wrote a rough draft! Sorry dad if I don't answer your questions....I always try. I am not for sure why they closed our area. I think it was because there wasn't very much progress and it was more effective to put them in another area. It was closed for about 3 months. It sounds like you are continuing to stay busy like always, especially with the break this weekend . Sorry about the short email last week it was really crazy with changes and saying goodbye to everyone in Chuy. There are a lot of really good people there and I am going to miss them just as I will all people in all my areas. We went to the beach it is in a place called the Barra de Chuy, it is beautiful! That is where Daniel and Shirley who got baptized last Saturday live. I went to say goodbye to them and them saw the ocean it was really cool! I had a long bus ride to Montevideo last week with all my suit cases. It was a bus that was chartered by the mission so it only had missionaries on it and stopped in the other areas, that's how they do it every time we have changes. Then I had another pretty long bus ride to my new area of Villa del Carmen in Durazno. It is in el medio de nada (middle of nowhere), but I am sort of enjoying it! It was really weird when we got to our new house because the missionaries that were here before us were hermanas or sister missionaries. They had left lot of ´´girl stuff´´ in the house to say the least. That wasn't even the worst part though. They were told to unplug everything before they left so it would use power. Ya....they unplugged the fridge don't worry...but left it entirely full. Ya, a fridge full of milk and food, unplugged for three months equals mold monster! Don't worrry after cleaning it 3 times it kind of smells good. The area is really good but really small. I am pretty sure it is smaller than Mantua with only about 3000 people. Church was good on Sunday me and my comp presented ourselves. There were 10 members there! Ya we are going to do some sweet reactivating in addition to baptizing! AHHHHH! I cant believe it! I am already out of time! As a rule for missionaries we have to be in the house by 9:30pm and we have to go! I know the church is true and the book is blue! Love you all so much and I promise that I will finish writing this email and more next week! The problem was that there is only one cyber here or one place to do email and it was closed cause of the rain and opened late! LOVE YOU TONS! Sorry and thanks again!
LOVE
Elder Bowden
