Spanish Group

Hello everyone!!! I love you all! 


Some amazing things happened this week! It felt like a slow week but looking back there were some amazing things that happened. 


The biggest thing is that we had the first ever (So I've been told) spanish second hour, that has happened in this church building! It is an amazing miracle! We have worked with the members and have gotten their support and they are joining us! So now we have a place where the Spanish speakers can go to learn about the gospel in their language! The best example of that was this last Sunday. We had our friend Jesús come to church and we were able to have an amazing lesson with him! He is a great guy and has so many amazing wonderful questions. I have seen the gift of tongues play a huge role in my mission and especially now, in this area. But now, it's sticking! I'm starting to be able to truly speak Spanish-it's awesome! 


We also have met our friend Butch! He referred himself and we have been teaching him and he is doing great! He is struggling in his life right now and has chosen to reach out to God through us! It has been awesome to testify of the power of that guidance!

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...
