Updates from Elder Bowles: Man Things just fly!!!

June 4th, 2018

Good morning my family!

Hope to hear from more of ya since it's not a holiday today lol. But missions are crazy! They just seem to fly! Before I know it I'll be home and have not a clue what I'm to do with myself lol jk but really this week went by fast and I'm really enjoying things here in Colorado and in my new area although I do miss Oregon and all its beauty lol. So this week has been pretty great we found a new investigator and he seems pretty solid we have to hand off 2 of our gators because they are Ysa age but that's okay I got my base pass and got to go on base that was nice we can't go very often because it's a lot of miles but they have a lot of hikes and things I hope to do while I'm here. We Did a lot of Tracting this week but that's okay it's always a fun time. Starting to finally meet a few people. People here feed us well I've had steak, burgers, pork, and ribs every night! Wednesday was Elder Peel's 22nd bday we've gotten 3 cakes lol so we're golden on sweets and junk. Thursday was a car day we had to take it for an oil change and estimate for damage when some on hit an ran us and it's almost at 50,000 when the church sells them plus it's totaled from hail damage so we might be getting a new car soon!

We had exchanges this week and on exchanges I got to bike again lol yay! Kind of miss it!

We had a funeral for a mouse I killed on exchanges lol poor Jimmy.

Yesterday we had our stake conference and it was pretty good received some pretty cool revelation on something from my patriarchal blessing so that was awesome it was during the talk from the temple president. It was really cool when Tracting this week some one asked what my mission has done for me and I got to reflect on my growth and all the blessings my family has received since I've been out here and the lord is so good and God has such a wonderful plan for each of us as long as we give our will to his and serve others its so great and the joy you come to feel is one of a kind! My mission has brought me some of the greatest joy I've felt in my life and I've seen the Lord's hand in my life everyday! I'm so thankful for all the wonderful Christ like examples in my life that have helped me along the way and helped me become who I am today and just blessed my life so much! I'm also thankful for all the wonderful people who have supported me and my family and you can never know how much I truly love and appreciate all of you. I reflect often the blessings of the Lord, and the blessings many of you have been to me! I love you guys I hope your having a wonderful week and count your many blessings, look up and smile, ask who you can help, lol this sounds really hippie but me and my comp always say "nothing but good vibes!"

May God be with you till I see you again which seems my go by fast lol missions fly by we were Tracting and I was like it's gonna feel weird to wake up and not be a missionary and to go out everyday and talk to everyone and go to people's houses all the time lol.

Love,

Your favorite da'gum Elder Xander Bowles
