ANOTHER CRAZY WEEK...TRANSFER NEWS

This week was just crazy! We had some great things planned, but none of it even happened! I've been told that's a life lesson. I sure hope not cause I have some good plans. We did lots of last minute service this week. It was wonderful to serve the members of Tappahannock. Everything we did needed to be done for those people! All of that has taught me patience. Through these unplanned events occurring, our area is suffering even more. We hardly had chances to work! Hopefully the Lord understands and helps us. I have faith he will. This week we got transfer news! I am staying and receiving Elder Horn and I will be the District Leader. The Tappahannock English area is being closed and Elder Horn from that area is my new companion!! Elder Pettibone is going to Williamsburg. So far, all of my companions have served there and now he is!!

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...
