New changes coming again!
Hola Familia!
I can't believe that only yesterday, a day I thought would never come this quickly has already passed! I just hope that I am doing everything I need to and everything Heavenly Father wants in these short two years (and continue for the rest of my life!) It was great to see and hear from you all and I LOVED doing Skype again. I cant believe how much everyone is changing and growing up. I love you all so much and miss you lots but it doesn't matter cause I am where I need to be. I have news about changes.....I don't know if its good or bad but kind of sad. I am staying here in Aeroparque but Elder Whiting is leaving. I really had a great but short six weeks with him and we have become really good friends. I know he is a great missionary just like all my comps before and the new comp I will have. My new comps name is Elder Jenkins (I don't know if that's how you spell it?) and he is an American. I am not for sure which state cause he is fairly new and no one really knows him, but I'll let you know next week. I'm not exactly for sure why (I don't think I am racist) but I have had a lot of American comps and only two latinos. I guess it is who ever the Lord sees I need help from and who we help me to become the best missionary I can. I had one more quick question....could you send me a cinnamon roll recipe? Thanks you're the best! Anyways....I don't know what more to say because I told you all that I had in mind yesterday? I'll be here for at least another six weeks but most likely it will be 3 more months. I like the area and I am excited to continue working with all the great people here. I will be going to changes in Malvìn tomorrow...I have to pick up my new comp! I will probably see all my companions, friends, and others there. I will be sure to give Elder Condor his letter! I am loving the mission, gaining lots of experience, and hope that I am becoming the priesthood holder Heavenly Father needs me to be in the future. I talked with Elder Whiting about changing on the mission. He says in his six months he doesn't think he has changed, but I think that he has. I don't see a lot of big differences with me but I think its because it happens gradually and over time. I hope that you can all see the changes and know its for the better. Don't worry cause I'm still the same Elder Bowden who likes to goof off but with a redefined and stronger outlook and testimony of the gospel. Sorry about the language but I think I am forgetting English, at least some words and using a lot of Spanish ones in place. I know that this church is true. I receive a testimony of it every day as I speak with others here in Guay. I know that Heavenly Father lives and loves us beyond our comprehension. I know that He knows whats best for us and will always lead us to where we need to be if we follow His counsel. I know that His Son Jesus Christ walked the earth, formed His church, and eventually died for our sins. I know that because of Him we will be resurrected, cleansed of sin, and stand before our God again someday. I know that Mothers are amazing! and that we have been blessed with incredible moms to bless our lives. I am grateful for the gospel and all that it is in my life. I am grateful for an amazing family who is always positive, uplifting, and strong in their faith. I love you all and want you to know that TRUE HAPPINESS comes from living the gospel every day and in the simple actions. Remember who you are and what you stand for, why your'e here and who you can help.
Until next week,
CON AMOR
Elder Bowden
