Well here I am again......sitting in a place called cyber.....ya its kinda weird not to have access to internet in my house, but none the less I am writing the family! I think I am just going to stop saying how fast time flies and then maybe it will slow down...who knows? This week went really good even though it was really busy. We had a baptism this week in our district and I had to come to Durazno to interview him. It was the first time I have done it but it went really well and I am excited to continue doing them as my district works hard and baptizes. Friday I worked with Elder Plyler here in Durazno on an intercambio and Elder Conder worked with Elder Sanchez. It went really well and we learned lots. It is nice to work with other missionaries to see what you can change to do better and also to get to know more. Tomorrow I am going to Deo again for another leadership conference and then on Wednesday I will be holding my third ever district meeting. It seems like we have already accomplished a lot in these first few weeks of the change and are looking forward to the success we will have! I cant believe that you guys are playing in the SNOW! Oh how I love and miss it, especially now that it it really hot. Fall is coming though and I am excited for the cooler temperatures. I don't know if I have already sent these photos but I am sending them again, I don't have lots cause I have pretty much taken pics of everything I can for now. When something new happens I will for sure snap some and send them home. We are working really hard this change on being committed to our goals. Working as hard as we can each day to meet all the goals we have set and then be able to baptize every week. I talked to President Da Silva the other day and he seems excited to hear that we are slowly changing the area. He said it has the confidence on me to get it done. More then the mission president I know that the Lord has confidence in me and that I am responsible for the souls of every person in Carmen. I know that as I follow the spirit and strive to be the example for my district that the Lord will guide us to the people He is preparing. I am so grateful for you guys and the support I ALWAYS have! I am not going to tell you I need anything cause if I do, you will send what I need with five other boxes. But yes the inserts and shoes are working great! Yes Hna Ester loved her gift, was very appreciative and said that your letter was precioso or precious. I love you all and thanks for everything you do! Hey you didn't mention anything but I will ask....did you receive a letter that had my card in it with all my photos? I sent it like last week so it should be there by now, just let me know! Tell Ash happy B-Day and not to feel super old! I sent her a card also and should be arriving.I know that this church is true and it has changed my life. I know that there is power in obedience to the gospel and we are happy/protected when we live it! I know that through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ we can be cleansed without stain to stand before our God and Maker one day. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that it is another testament of Jesus Christ. I don't really like reading that much but love to study the Book of Mormon because I feel its power and closer to my Heavenly Father every time I do. I know that through the ordinances in the temple families can be together forever! Until next week! LOVE YOU!
CON AMOR
Elder Bowden
