6 Mas Dias y nosotros hablamos a Elder Bowden!

HOLA FAMILIA! Well.....what should I start with today? It has been a pretty good P-Day. We started at 10:00am after completing our studies and went to the supermarket. I bought today a large bottle of Tabasco sauce which I am very excited to use! After we waited for the bus and went to Camino Carrasco. It is our ZLs area. We went to visit them and pick up my package! Thanks for the candy, s, and girl scout cookies! It was literally just a few days ago I was talking about how much I love the peanut butter ones! Now we are here in the cyber emailing and we will have about two hours just to relax and clean up a bit when we get home. We dont have a lot of places to visit on P-Day that our inside our area and we have to have permission to go to the others outside the area(even then they dont always give permission). We have to work all day every other day so we usually just take P-day pretty slow. Our work days are normal. We leave at 10 to proselite(doing contacts and visiting investigators). We have an hour for lunch which is usually with a member but lots of the time they just give us the food and we eat at our house and then an hour to study spanish. We finish our work day at 9 at night and then we have planning for a half an hour and get ready for bed after that. I was kind of joking about the photos but would really like to have some more (current if possible). I am also super pumped to Skype and now we only have 6 days! It seems like just yesterday we were doing it for Christmas! I will be calling you guys on Skype at about 6:00pm here which would be about 3:00pm there. I hope that this works out and we wont have any problems! I love you all and cant wait to see and hear from you all on Sunday! This week went pretty good. As far as all the charlas or lessons we taught we reached our goals and had the most with member we have ever taught. I sure hope that we can find some one to be baptized soon cause it seems like forever since I have had one. I am doing very good and cant believe that the time continues to pass. I feel really wierd being one of the older missionaries that I always looked up to before. I hope that I can be an example to all those around me and always work hard. I am kind of sad to see Pres Da Silva leave in June....I really love him as our mission president and I know he is an inspired man. I also know that our new President will be just as good and continue to lead the misison in the direction that it needs to go. I know that this chuch is true and I love saying I am a member of it. Even more I love saying I am a missionary and representative of Jesus Chirst. I have to say that there is not any other feeling in the world thats like it. I feel that power of the Lord help靚g me, uplifting me, and guiding me daily. I know that He lives and that He loves us more than we can even comprehend. I know that as we pass through this life we have trials. We should strive to overcome them and seek the Lords help and after we will see them as blessings. I know that He sends them to us to help us return to our eternal destination and live with Him again. I know that the Book of Mormon is true and is the evidence we have that our church is true. I testify if anyone who really wants to know the truth and reads the book and prays will recieve thier own witness of its divinity. I know that families can be together forever. I know that through little things like daily prayer, scripture study, church and temple assistance we are greatly blessed. I know that the Lord some times requires us to sacrifice but it is always worth it and will one day recieve it all in one hundred times full! Until Sunday! Love and miss you tons! CON AMOR Elder Bowden letter
