Quierida Familia,

Les Gracias por su support.  Thank you for being an example in my life.  I hope you all had fun with your visitors and I hope I can see Collette when she gets dropped off.  Hosting was really fun this past week and I hope I get to do it again, because 2 Elders from our district have to direct traffic instead.  I don't think I will have to do that but I'm not sure yet.  This week has been full of excitement and I'm so excited to go to Florida.  The MTC has been fun and I'm going to miss deportes every day and just being around so many different people that all love this gospel.  This next week will be a weird week.  Our next pday is on Saturday or maybe Monday, so we can pack.  As far as talking on the phone I can for a little while in SLC or a little in Dallas.  We will only have like an hour layover so I don't know how much time I will really have.  So I don't know if you want to wake up early that day, but you should tell me when you want me to call.  (*Response from Mom: ANYTIME!!!!  JUST CALL!!!) Thursday was great because I got a letter from Hannah and Ryan. Ryan said that Jack is starting his papers and that Alex might be able to turn in his papers around the end of winter semester.  Leah and Ashley read all the emails you send and are always excited.  So basically everything is good in the MTC hood.  I feel like I'm about as ready in Espanol as I can get even if I had another month.  Now I just need to be immersed in it.  It will be a culture shock I'm sure.  We met an Elder from Orlando and he said Miami is a different world.  I'm glad you saw President Hale and President Uchtdorf.  Elder Reese's family was there too, but in the overflow.  LIke I said in the email, everyone loved your packages.  By the way, when I said Taylor from volleyball a couple of weeks ago, I meant Tyler from Thursday night volleyball at the ward.  He is companions with my friend Jared Baxter from BYU.  I think that is all this week.  I love you all and this Gospel.  I'm glad I can serve my Lord.  Thanks for the support.
Con Amor,
Elder Wesley Bowen
