Owens, Caiden

This week was a rough week! For multiple reasons!  This week, a tropical storm came through NC and VA and specifically messed with our area. We had previously been doing the absolute best that I have done my entire mission and this storm really messed with it. All of our friends have fallen off Baptismal Date. Church got cancelled and with that, our friends that were excited to come, couldn't come! We were out of our area (in Richmond) for an exchange and that went very well! We then had an exchange with Scotchtown and they came to our area. It was the same day everyone was running to the store for supplies and no one wanted to talk to us. We couldn't stay as long as we wanted-the bridge was going to shut down so we had to hurry across to get home.  Anyways. We need prayers. Please pray for our progressing friends that they will receive the Baptismal Covenant. Some are close. Some it will be a journey. But all will make it. Please pray for them. As we work diligently, we know ...

Wow. We had an absolutely amazing week! We have done some good things here in Tappahannock! I am loving my mission and would recommend one to everyone! It's the best 2 years. I've been reflecting recently on the time I've been out for and realizing how small 10 1/2 months are! I only have that amount of time left! How crazy is that!! This week we put 4 friends on date to be baptized and that now makes 5. We found many new friends as well. This pace is the pace I want to continue to have for the rest of my mission! That would be amazing! Please pray for Vanessa, Billy, Guadalupe, Faith and Jay! They each need help on this Covenant path! Love you all!  -Elder Owens
