Day 2...Wait Week 2 Already

So crazy!! The time has gone by so fast! But I'm loving every second of it!


We went to the doctor on Tuesday for Elder Ruger and his poison ivy and we were there for like 3 hours. They gave him a prescription and he decided he didn't wanna spend the money on it so then we went to Buffalo Wild Wings and spent his money there. In other words we have our priorities straight...uhh haha


We have a lot of service! I forgot to mention in the last email about this experience but we got to help move a lot of furniture out of a house.The guy that owned the house was there and he told the main guy over us that it's his daughter's house and she had passed away and left behind a couple kids. He was donating all of her stuff to the group we do service for-it was a humbling experience.


On Sunday we have church and we get to go to the Fort Lee military base for the Fort Lee branch.  We had sacrament meeting and then Sunday School. The military members that come have to come with a "battle buddy" so it's super cool to have all the non-members there. That's who we teach in Sunday School. We ended up giving one Book of Mormon to a guy that was very interested so that was awesome. That Branch meets from 8:30-10:30 then we have our group that meets at 11:00 and it is about 15-20 minutes away so we rushed there and taught Sunday School. then right after that we all spoke-so I gave two lessons and a talk all in Spanish and it was crazy.  


I'm realizing the blessings in my life. They come from my service to the Lord. Serve everyone you know as much as you can. When you serve you are blessed. Life is hard but keep working at it-you are all awesome! 


Love you all

-Elder Quinteros after he threw a football that hit Elder Ruger's rootbeer and splashed it all over the wall-which weirdly cleaned itself cause we had to go and we came back to clean it, it wasn't there. So we will take that miracle.
P.S. not a lot of photos this week I'm sorry

Supreme Lessons.

We had an amazing week!  We had an awesome lesson with Angel about commandments and different things like that and he was super into it. We also asked him how he was feeling about baptism and he said he was super excited. But he also said he was nervous for one thing....he's scared to get his hair wet. He gave us a little scare but it was pretty funny. We also had a lesson with Mario and Omar and they are so awesome! We talked about prayer and the spirit and they had so many questions-it was great! At the end Mario told us that his wife needs to hear all this (they care for someone and can't leave at the same time) and gave us her number to reach out and that has gone great as well. We also got to make papusas with them which were delicious!!! We had an exchange with our Zone Leaders this week and that went great. It was super fun to see them again! This last Saturday was 2 years since my friend Dallin passed away and that was hard to think of, but it is helpful to know the won...

Temple!!!!

Image
We had 3 temple trips this week!!! We worked two shifts for the open house of the Virginia Richmond Temple. The first started on Wednesday evening and it was amazing. I just loved feeling the spirit there. We were able to take some older people in wheelchairs through, it was a blessing. They are amazing and have great testimonies. Thursday morning Elder Moye and I got to the temple early and we were able to go inside when no one else was there and take a tour. We then got to sit in the Celestial room alone in a silent temple! What a miracle it was. I am so grateful for that experience. Sorry this email is a quick one I don't have much time. Saturday morning we got a text from Brenda (Angel's aunt) saying that they could go to the temple! It was the only day they could go! Another temple miracle. We had an amazing time with them and Brenda told us afterwards that she had to stop herself from crying before she walked into every room! Love, Elder Owens Pictures

Ummm EARTHQUAKE!!

The mtc is wonderful! I am so busy all the time and it's awesome to be busy but I'm so tired! It's been a wonderful p-day, so nice to relax. I have been so surprised with the love that all the workers have for the Missionaries.  A lot of them like to mess around but even with that they are still so happy!  I met these two natives and it was super cool to talk to them in Spanish but I realized I'm not doing as good as I thought lol. It was super cool to meet them though.  Elder Hugo Montoya from the 70 came and spoke to us yesterday. At the end of his wonderful lesson, he let us all know he will be speaking in the first session of conference I believe. After he told us that he shook everyone's hand and I was one of the lasts so I shook his hand, grabbed his shoulder and said,"I hope we can all make you proud". So I am definitely going to be in his talk so be ready for that. Alright now for the earthquake. It's so crazy that this happened. September 19th...
