Amazing!

Dad,
Happy Anniversary! Sounds like you had a good time. I'm glad you're
enjoying being a high councilor, it must be a handful sometimes. Ya I
know Elder McKay. He's a zone leader right now and his ward has
baptised 30 Slovakians this year. He's doing really really well.
That's really funny, what is the missionary's name anyways? I'll see
Elder McKay in a week so I can tell him about it. Good times. And
I'm glad Jon is staying out of trouble. I can imagine him wanting to
be back in Chile, we just barely sent off two missionaries for America
this morning. I can't believe it. That will be so weird. Speaking
of weird. Do you realise that my 18 month mark is next Sunday. I
don't know what I'm going to do. I barely made it through my year
mark, oh well. This week has been a really good one but it went
really fast and I don't have much to report on. We had an amazing
experience this last week though. We are teaching a woman from
Portugal that has 2 kids and she is amazing. She was taught like a
year ago but the elders stopped going by because she worked a really
difficult work schedule. We went by her and she has still been
reading the Book of Mormon. We took a member from Arizona who served
his mission in Brazil and it was sweet. She told us how she is amazed
that the Book of Mormon is so spiritual. She has noticed that she has
more patience with her children when she reads and also that she will
say a prayer and then read the Book of Mormon and find an answer. It was amazing and one of the most spiritual lessons, which is also amazing because we've been having loads of those recently. It was
amazing. I don't really know what else to write, the weeks seem to
just fly by. I can't believe that i only have 6 months left. Oh
well, I'm gonna stop thinking about it. Well that's about it. I love
you so much Dad. Thanks for everything, have a good week!

Mum,
This week has been a blast but it also went by really quick.
Also, I don't have much time to write sorry! I haven't gotten any of
the other stuff yet but I might have it by tomorrow or something, no
bother. Things are doing really good. We've got a couple of people
who are really really close to baptism but just need a couple of
things to work out before they can get baptised. We had a really
amazing experience with a woman from portugal!! We took a member who
speaks portuguese (served his mission in Brazil) and it was amazing.
She said that she knows the Book of Mormon is true and it was
amazing, the spirit was so strong and we took that member and his
wife. They were the same ones that fed us thanksgiving dinner. It
was such an amazing teaching appointment. She also has two kids, one
is 9 and the other is 4 or something. They are so much fun and all
they need is for her to get a job where she doesn't work weekends and
then I think she'll be baptised. It is amazing. The week really
seemed like it just flew by and I don't remember anything else we can
update you on. But I can't believe how soon Christmas is coming up,
next Sunday will be my 18 month mark. It's gonna be pretty crazy.
Well mum, I don't think there is anything else. I love you so much.
Happy anniversary! Take care!
Elder Rowley
