Back in Dade

After a confusing week of not knowing where I was going, I am finally at my new area. I'm now serving in the Miami Lakes North area.  Super pumped to be here. Elder T is my new companion. He was Elder Bj 's(my trainer) MTC companion.
Basically everyone I've served with now were all in the MTC together and go home the same day. It is a pretty big area we are in. We have a car. Not sure how much I like it. We have biked almost none, which is really a bummer when you get fed everyday. It is my first all Spanish area. There are a lot of English people here, but we have to pass them to the English Elders in the area when we find them. It is a little different but good, I should finally be able to learn Spanish better. It definately needs some practice. I have already improved in my listening since I got here so that is good. I had to give a talk in Spanish yesterday, that was pretty fun. It was all about why we should invite our friends to come to church and that through the ordinances is the only way we can fully experience the atonement. It was aight I think. We have already had some success knocking doors, so we are excited for what we are going to be doing this transfer.
Basically all the investigators though from before just got baptized.
We were supposed to have one Saturday, but they moved it up to Tuesday. We have been doing a lot of knocking because of that. It is nice though. Knocking here so far has been a lot easier than Key West. Still havent had to knock as much as we did there either, so it is really cool. We have already had some really funny experiences with some of the people down here, so dont be suprised if I have some good stories to tell about this area. It is a little weird though now not being in the Homestead zone anymore, but I'm really excited for the work we will be doing down here. That's all I really have for now, Thank you all so much for your love and support, and for everything you do for me. I love you and I love this gospel. I know that it is the true gospel and that through the ordinances of the priesthood, one can feel the atonement more in their life. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and that we are doing his will serving down here. I love this church and I know that it is true.
Thank you all so much
Elder Wesley Christopher Bowen
