I'm Just Sittin out here watchin Airplanes!

HOLA MEJOR FAMILIA DEL MUNDO! Hey! Thanks for the great email(they are great every week) and it made it great to see some pictures! I don't have lots to say this week....kind of a bummer week. We found out of Thursday of last week that our baptism probably wasn't going to happen. Her dad wouldn't give her permission but her mom said that she would convince him to let her. We filled up the font and were waiting with the members and they never showed up. It really makes me sad when people don't have any idea about the church but assume that its not for them and even worse prevent those who they should love from doing it also. Well she is now 17 and will be turning 18 this year so I guess if she still wants she can get baptized then. Don't worry though....we wont get discouraged and we are going to keep working. It sounds like everyone at home is doing well and staying nice and busy. I miss you all and often think of dad now.....yea airplanes are constantly flying over our area and it reminds me of when we would be driving on the freeway and be surprised cause dad was driving of the road. Mom would then say....what are you doing? Dad would respond...there's an airplane. We had a pretty good day yesterday, filled with lots to do and we ate with the bishop. I am still trying to eat Guayan food...its good...but really repetitive. I am looking forward to some nice home cooking! We have lots of goals this week and are excited to keep improving in all that week do. I cant believe that I have already been here in Aeroparque for three weeks! That means that the change is already half way over! We are also having interviews with Pres Da Silva this week and I am excited to talk to him for one of the few times that we still have with him. I am glad to hear that you received the letters and are looking forward to Mothers Day! Don't worry I am looking forward to it also and am pretty sure we can do Skype again. Hey I had a question? I know that when Michael goes to APTC that he gets letters from the parents but could you ask if it would be alright to get one from me also? Let me know. I am honestly drawing blanks as far as what to write now so I guess I just use what we do in the mission and testify when nothing else comes to mind. I know that this is the Church of Jesus Christ and that it is the only true one on the earth. I know that the Savior died so that we can be cleansed from sin. I know that His sacrifice is infinite and we cant understand it all but as we strive to live that gospel it heals us. I know that God calls prophets always and we have a living prophet today! I know that families can be together forever and I love you all! Until next week! You're great and I love you all so much! CON AMOR Elder Bowden
