This young man sent us a nice note about Wes!  He helps the missionaries out alot!

Elder Bowen looks happy!

So nothing to crazy has happened in the past week.  We spent most of the week in Sunset North helping them out there.  It was a lot of fun.  We were able to see a lot of the ward members and were able to have some goodbyes.  On Tuesday we did a lot of riding around and visiting people, and then on Wednesday I was with Elder R because Elder B had to go and do some blood work.  It was pretty exciting.  We had some good plans and were able to pick up a new investigator and meet some really awesome people.  Then on Thursday me and Elder Bo did a lot of running around.  We went from one corner to the next to the next.  Only missed one corner.  It was a lot of riding, but it was good.  Then Friday we were able to see some investigators we had picked up the week that I left so that was really cool.  Then Saturday we got soaked in the rain.  The streets in some parts were flooded so we had to find new ways to go around.  It was a very interesting day.  We got pretty wet and when we got home we had to change really fast because the water is starting to finally get cold here.  Then Sunday we went were able to see some investigators and some families in the ward.  It was really great.  We were also able to take some pictures on Sunday.  I took some pictures of the Island and stuff, I'll probably send those later when I remember to bring my camera.  These are all off of Elder Bo's camera.  Yesterday we tried to email in the morning, but the library computers were shut down, so then we just got picked up by our District Leader Elder S, who dropped us off at the bus stop where we headed back down to Key West.  On Saturday, our phone broke, so we are waiting on a new one, hopefully we get it tomorrow, but so we called soem members to pick us up from Marathon where the bus stops and then we left all the other missionaries.  So when we got to Marathon, we didnt know what we should be expeacting.  It all ended up ok, there was a member that just got there right when we arrived too.  So hopefully we get our phone tomorrow.  Also on Sunday President Anderson and his wife spoke in sacrament in Sunset.  They both gave great talks and are really excited for us here in Key West.  They said they will be visiting us soon.  So thats about all that has happened.  We are back into exilation.  We call it that because we dont probably wont get to see missionaries for the next month, but we are really excited.  It isnt realy that bad.  This transfer is already going really fast.  Almost two weeks in, and it seems like it just started.  Really crazy.  Well I hope you enjoy the pictures.  Thankyou all very much for the support you give me, I really enjoy hearing from all the time.  I am super excited for my time down here in the Keys.  I love you all and I know this church is true.  I know that.  Thankyou all again for everything you do for me and the love you show me.  You all mean so much to me and I am really excited to be doing this now.  I love you all
Con Amor,
Elder Wesley Christopher Bowen
