A Great Week!

This has been a really awesome week for us.  We were able to have al lot of fun things happen and had a lot of good lessons.  We are really excited about the work down here and cannot wait to keep it going here.  There is this one family we are teaching.  The daughter is the one interested in Christ, and she is 6.  But the parents want to learn too because of her.  It is really cool, and we have no idea where she found out about Jesus, but she really likes him, and the lessons we have are pretty fun with them.  We also have been able to meet with some other really cool families, and have some really awesome lessons coming up.  This one lady said we could come back last Tuesday, and we did, and she said that she didnt expect us back(second time we came back and she didnt expect it), but she said she didnt have time to really talk much.  So we talked for a little bit about how she has a crazy life, and then we asked if we could leave her with a prayer.  She said yes of course, and then she talk to us about her church and whatnot.  Then I asked if she would take a book, she said yes, until she saw it was the Book of Mormon.  She siad she wouldnt ever read it or touch it, but then we brought out some of her concerns and weird misconceptions about us, and she took the book and should be reading 3 Nephi 11 this week.  We will be back there tomorrow.  She was a lot more receptive after we resolved her concerns.  It has been a good week.  We are also going up to Fort Lauderdale this week.  It is good but sad at the same time, because we will be gone for 2 and a half days, and 2 of the days are the most productive days of the week for us usually.  But it will be god to recieve some new training and to see some missionaries again.  Really excited.  Should have pictures next week.  I love you guys.  I know this church is true, and that Chrsit died for our sins, that we could be saved from our sins, but not in our sins.  He loves us, and will comfort us when we need it.  Thankyou all so much for your support and love
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS,
Elder Wesley Christopher Bowen
