Onward and Upward!

High 5!

1. Diana and Carolina were pass offs from the Redd and Resler Elders. Her and her sister and dating LDS brothers and so we are teaching them the lessons. They are super solid and are on date to get baptized on August 8th!

2. On Saturday we were tracting 1 street for 2 hours because everyone wanted to talk to us! Miracles! We met a young, single mother and her 3 young kids outside and she said she had been looking for a church for her kids to grow up in! We told her about primary and she was super excited! The Elders are going back to teach them this week.

3. We got a phone call from a Utah number this week and it was a member who told us that his friend just got stationed at Ft. Bliss and was ready for the missionary lessons! We took a couple of our military members with us to meet and fellowship him and had an awesome lesson. He came to church on Sunday, committed to baptism, and we have another lesson with him tonight before FHE.

4. We got to do some service this week out in Socorro! We went with Natalie and Raven to their new house and helped them paint. It was super fun and afterwards we had an awesome lesson. Natalie's testimony is so strong and she is an amazing example to her daughter.

5. 7/11 meant FREE slurpees this week!

Down Low, 2 Slow

1. Our ward keeps getting smaller and smaller because everyone is getting married, haha!

2. We've had crazy hail storms this past week! 

Well, I'm keeping extremely busy. The Lord continues to give us prepared people. I stand all amazed. It gets to the point where when someone sees the Book of Mormon in our hands, they practically come up to us, ask us what it is, and ask if they can have one. I've really come to see the power it has in conversion. Elder Holland says it best. "No wicked man could write such a book, and no good man would unless it were true." Don't take it for granted. Apply the promise in Moroni 10:3-5 to strengthen and renew your testimony of the Book of Mormon. We are flooding the earth with it.

God speed!

Love, Hermana Bowen

P.S. I'm short on time today, so sorry for those of you I didn't get to personally respond to. Thank you for the continuous support. You all are always in my prayers. Have a great week!
