This
past week was amazing!! So I'm 20 now! I had an amazing Birthday! I am
so blessed and the blessings just keep coming! So on Tuesday we rode our
bikes because we were running a little low on miles but because we rode
our bikes we got a package from Grandma Sharon. We had to re-inflate our
tires which timed things perfectly for the mail. Tender Mercy! Then on
Wednesday I got to open the wonderfull present I got from Grandma
Sharon! I was given a beautiful CD entitled called to serve by the
Motab! It's beautiful! Along with goodies and pictures I can use as
visual aids in teaching! I also got a great gift from Catherine and
Lucas and baby Lucas Jr. and then I got the birthday package from the
family!
I love y'all so much!
Thank you for thinking of me so much and for the love and support y'all
have always given to me! I love how close our family is! Even when we
are all over the US! (literally from coast to coast! haha) I loved
reading the notes y'all sent in the balloons that I got to pop! It was
awesome! What a joyfull memory to have for my 20th birthday! I loved the
light house that grandpa Zillner sent for my oil! It's so beautiful!
So I also received many
heavenly presents! On Wednesday we taught 3 lessons. In the morning we
went over to a former investigators home and taught the Plan of
Salvation and scheduled a baptismal date for B. for March 8th! B.
is awesome! I'm so happy for him in his decision to be baptized! I'm
excited to help him be ready to make those covenants with the Lord. Then
we had steaks for lunch that we cooked up with some fajita seasoning
and they turned out really good with chili and tortillas! Then we taught
B2 and she has a baptismal date now as well! Hers is for the 1st
of March! We are hoping to help her get there! She went out of town this
weekend but we should be teaching her more this week! Then that evening
we went and knocked a few streets and then went and had dinner
with J. and M.! We had a change of menu to spaghetti but it was
really good spaghetti and I loved it. We had a good visit with J.
about the restoration and prophets. Things are coming along slowly but
he still wants to meet with us so that's good! I love them they are
awesome. J. is Pentecostal and gets really excited about the bible
and gets into it! I love it. He really puts passion into the bible
stories. So I couldn't have asked for a better birthday! God blessed us so much!
This
week we also visited E. and L. and we watched the Restoration DVD
with them! It was great and they really enjoyed it! They popped
popcorn for us too! It was great, I love E. and L.!
I feel like things are
really progressing here in Marshall. At times slowly but at other times I
feel like our area is going to explode with work!
We
visited the T.'s and had a great visit with them and we also visited
with their neighbor D. and his wife and we had a great discussion with
them. Well more like with D.'s wife because he was falling asleep. But
we talked about the plan of salvation and answered some of her
questions and we gave them a triple combination! It was a great visit!
So this week was another
amazing week in Marshall Texas! I hope that y'all had a fantastic week as
well and that y'all had a great time celebrating Christopher's birthday
as well!
Love y'all tons!
Love your missionary,
Elder Drew Bowen
