One year ago tomorrow, the 22nd, I started the MTC! It has been an amazing experience and I have loved my mission so much! I have been able to see so much growth!! For this email, I will just share my testimony.  I know that we have a Savior, Jesus Christ, whose atonement gives us the opportunity to not only repent, but to bring ourselves unto him and receive eternal life. I know that we have a loving Heavenly Father whose plan reaches the ends of the earth. I know that through promises made in the temple, we can receive exaltation with our families. I know that the power of the Holy Ghost is real because I have seen it work in my life and work in the hearts and minds of those we teach! I know that this unique gospel was made possible through it's restoration by the Prophet Joseph Smith. I know that if we choose to put effort into growing a testimony, that effort will eventually turn into faith. It may take time, prayer and study. But it will come. I say this in the name of Jesus C...

We had a great week this week! I have learned so so much the last 3 weeks. I don't have much time at all to type this but here we go... Basically, we held an exchange Tuesday and I went with Elder Mathews! It was my first time ever holding an exchange as a District Leader! We had a blast and found 4 new people to teach!  I have learned a lot while being District Leader. Getting to talk with the other missionaries in the District about what they are doing well and how they can improve has helped me tremendously! It has helped me learn so much that I can apply. The rest of the week was just chaotic but it was awesome!! We get to go to the temple this week so I am very excited!! I love you all!!! Also! We moved this week! If you need the address you can text my mom or let me know! Love Elder Owens
