Time for changes again!

HOLA FAMILIA WOW! I can't believe we have a new member to the family already! I honestly wasn't expecting anything for like two more weeks but hey...when Heavenly Father sends him he has to come! Thanks for the pics! Everyone is looking happy! This week went alright for us here in Guay. It was not the best week considering the fact that I got sick for the second time in my mission. I am pretty sure it was something I ate but my comp was fine so I don't know? I was throwing up, had a fever of 101 degrees, and spent most of my time in the bathroom. I felt pretty achy but after 48 hours my body had got it all out of my system and I am now fine! We also had a couple days of rain which doesn't ever help but nonetheless we had a alright week. The district had another baptism and we are planning some more for the upcoming weeks. The only thing is we don't know who is going to be here and who isn't cause this week is changes! I cant believe that I have already gone through 5 weeks here in Paso de los Toros or Charrùa! I think that my comp and I are going to stay the same but you never know there could be changes. We had another little zone conference this week which was good. We talked about working better with the members but I was honestly feeling kind of out of it. I will also be having our last district meeting of this change tomorrow so it should go well! We are striving to work hard, be more obedient, and be more diligent. It is a great challenge to be one of the missionaries that acts to make things happen and not let the results of what happens around him effect the work. I know that if we turn to the Lord, are humble and do the things His way then we will always find some sort of success. I know that God loves us and knows whats best for us. I know that we are and we be held accountable for our actions here in this life. I know that we are blessed and happy from being obedient. I know that Christ is our Savior and Redeemer and the only name given by which we can enter into the kingdom of God. I know that forgiveness of our sins has conditions which come from sincere repentance and true desire to change. I know that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is one of the biggest/greatest blessings we have been given to help us find comfort, peace, hope, and joy in this life. I know that when we live these basic principles, when we apply them in our personal lives and not just go through the motions, we are transformed by the power/grace of Christ. I know that is is possible to return to live with God and our families forever but it depends on us. I testify that we have choices to make everyday which prepare us to live with them or not. I know that the being worthy of and following the promptings of the Holy Ghost is what guides us to make the correct choices. Heavenly Father will never abandon us or leave us to be tempted until miserable, His power is always greater than Satan's and He will eventually win. I know that we are required to make sacrifices and even suffer a little in this life but it the only way that we can grow. I love you all and am eternally grateful for the influence of each and everyone of you in my life. I love you more than I could ever say or show in an email. Have a great week and I will too! Until next time! CON AMOR Y UN ABRAZO Elder Bowden
