Rain!

So the rain is back, which is fun. Different being in a car this
time, but we do a lot of biking now so its all good. I also cant
write to much because I hurt my left wrist yesterday, and it doesnt
quite work yet for typing. We have met some pretty funny people this
week so ut has been fun. We also had a good training on Mormon.org,
and how we can use it as another companion. It is pretty cool, but it
is not all the way in Spanish. It doesnt have the videos about people
in Spanish yet but they will in August have it, so it will be really
fun. We also talked about declaring repentance, and how we can
fulfill our purpose all the way, and using the Book of Mormon even
better. It is pretty funny now because there are a lot of people that
talk about Mitt Romney with us and we just have to steer it towards
the church. This one kid walked into thbe church after our training
talking about him, and he came to church for the English Elders, which
is really cool. Nothing else really crazy happened this week, sorry I
couldn't write more, but I'm running out of time, and one hand is much
slower, haha. I love you and thank you all so much

Mangos!!!

So this week we had a little bit of trouble, but we also had a good amount of mangos, haha. It was a fun week. Success wise, we didn't do so well, but it is all good. We will be doing better this week, I can just feel it. Transfers was fun, Elder N left our apartment, and Elder Bj is now our District Leader in our apartment. It is pretty fun to have him back again in the apartment, we get to talk a lot about all the experiences that we had together, it is so much fun. Finally here the mangos are ripe, so we have had so many lately, it is awesome. Elder Bj showed us this way to eat them, basically we mash them up, then we open a whole, and suck out of it. It is like have a mango drink, and it isnt as messy as cutting it. This week we just havent been able to get people to open the door for us, I dont know why. We have also been finding a lot of English too, which makes it hard for us, because we just have to pass them. Where we are, there is one area of really concentrated Spanish, and we have knocked it all, and missionaries in the past have really worked it too, so we have been trying to spread out, but it has lead to a lot of English passing. We might have to go a little bit more back to the complete Spanish area, but hopefully we will start finding more success where we are working, becuase we feel really good about actually branching out and working these areas that have not been touched for a while. We are pretty excited for this transfer, it is definately going to be a fun one. I will try and be better at sending more pictures. I thank you so much for what you do for me. I love this gospel, and I love this work. I know that it is the work of the Lord, and that he has called us to go and preach his gospel. I know that with Jesus Christ we can conquer all of our challenges, and have eternal life. I love you all so much, and am grateful for your support and letters.

it has been raining so I took some cool pictues with my camera, I only sent one of the rainy clouds, but there are some really cool pictures.  We got pretty wet this week, we did a lot of bike riding and there was plenty of rain,Elder Wesley Christopher Bowen

Mother's Day

Fun week for us. We didn't have all the success that we were really hoping for, but it was still fun, and we found some awesome people that we are really excited to get back and teach now. So for transfers, everyone in the district is changing, but me and Elder R. We were all kind of off on our predictions. There was one companionship we all said one stayed the other went, and it was the other way around. The one that is staying is a Spanish missionary in an English area, and his trainee, whos an English missionary is going.

We were stumped. But we are excited to have a new Elder in the apartment. This was definately a fun transfer, and I really hope that it sets us up for a lot of success this transfer. We did a lot of knocking this transfer, and finding, and now we have a pretty big pool of people to go check up on, but it is still going to be a lot of knocking to start this next transfer. We just have not been able to get into a groove of teaching a ton yet. But I'm sure it will come now, the Lord know's who is prepared, and he will lead us there.

After talking on mothers day, we went knocking some more, and we met a Spanish family, that all accepted baptism right away. We are super excited to get back and teach them, it was cool, because it was another, one more story kind of thing, and we had already had 2 experiences like that that day. Another one we were talking about how we always need to go one more, street, or house, or whatever, but sometimes nothing happens, and we just know that we will get indirect blessings. Well as we were walking away from the "one mores" that we did(which was like 5 or 6 houses) we were talking about that, and how we just need to trust in those indirect blessings, and then this guy came out and told us his family was mormon and that he wants to talk to us, so we should be seeing him soon. It is funny how the Lord works though, because if we hadnt done the few more, we would have walked another way back to our car, and he wouldn't have seen us, but it all was timed and placed perfectly. So another 6 weeks here though, it will be fun, we have some good plans. I know that this gospel is true, and that God has restored it fully again on the earth so that we may recieve all the many blessings he has for us. I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior, and he wants us to come unto him and take upon us, his yoke. I love this gospel so much, and I thank you so much for your support, Love you all
