I survived this week!! its all down hill from here and I"m trying to wrap everything up to go home next Monday-Tuesday. today we are going to Collique to say goodbye to the members there. <br />
<br />
<br />
Tuesday we had a special meeting with the pres to sort out some of the new changes that we are making to the program. these include divisions with the sisters in the mission during the week, divisions when we go to the temple, and that elders can come with us. <br />
<br />
<br />
Wednesday we then presented that plan in the leader meeting in the mission, to all the zone leaders, assistants and the sister trainers. it was my first and only time to go to one of these types of meetings so i was thankful for the opportunity to see how it all is and be able to see some old friends. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thursday was our trip to the temple, and it was so much better than the other trip that we had. the west stake helped us out a ton, and well there was some minor setbacks and scheduling miscommunication, but it all worked out in the end, we brought a big group of 24 converts to the temple and Pres Erickson went to greet our converts and see how it all goes!<br />
<br />
<br />
Friday we did divisions and I was able to go out into the field for a while and dust of my authority and power in preaching ah ah ah. it was good to stretch my legs.<br />
<br />
<br />
Saturday I stayed in the center while my companion left, and I was able to teach the Sister Bueno about how to do her family history and what new features offer family search it was fun, and its always rewarding to hear the "no way that is possible?" when we teach them about how cool is family search. <br />
<br />
<br />
Sunday was church like normal, but a day full of meetings. in order to communicate about the program that we have, and get the help of the different stakes, we presented ourselves and what we do an dhow they can help in the bishops meeting with the stake pres in one stake, and then we had a full fireside in another stake where we had a power point and were able to talk with all the leaders of the stake which was really cool! we celebrated in the night after all our nerve wracking meetings with chocotón which is one of the things that I will miss soo soso so so so much from Peru.<br />

This week was awesome, and one that I will never forget. Thursday we were able to take a trip to the temple,</div>
but personally, and it was a super spiritual experience. As we were finishing and leaving the last room, I just<br />
couldn't help but look around in awe. The Peru Lima temple is so beautiful, and it was my last time for a good<br />
long while to go inside. It was a bitter sweet moment but I really felt the love of my Heavenly Father there and<br />
was able to get some personal revelation that I was needing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Sunday was a very special day for all of Peru here, because it received its second working temple in Trujillo. <br />
The stake centers were converted into mini temples and nobody could enter without their recommend to the<br />
dedication. Inside, the dedication was transmitted and we were able to hear from Elder Bednar, Uctdorf, and <br />
the area presidency (Wadell, Uceda, y Godoy {the three of which I was able to meet personally here in the <br />
mission!!]) and from other leaders. The spirit was soooo strong and it was the first dedication of a temple that I<br />
could attend in a long time, so I just drank it all in. At the end of the dedication we all stood up and began to sing<br />
a well known hymn "like a fire is burning" or in Spanish "tal como un fuego (el espiritu de dios)". As we were<br />
singing and rejoicing I just had a really cool moment in which I was thinking of my circumstances where I was, <br />
who I was with, and with in what language we were singing- and how i never thought in my life before that i<br />
would be in these circumstances, and i was just overwhelmed with such a sense of gratitude for God and what he<br />
has given me. Uctdorf talked about how this Sunday was fathers day, and how we were celebrating with giving a<br />
gift to our Heavenly father with the new temple and how we should always live our lives with a an active temple<br />
recommend.<br />
<br />
<br />
Later in the night we had a missionary fun fireside in which we talked about ordinances and covenants and <br />
how we can live our lives in a way that we can return back to our heavenly father. But not just us, but as<br />
families. And I´m just so grateful for my family, and especially this week for my father Terry Bowers. <br />
<br />
<br />
He started a tradition with my other siblings, he wrote a postcard each and everyday and mailed it to them.<br />
And he continued this tradition with me. To the envy of all the other missionaries in the mission I received<br />

postcards pretty much every week (except when there was a mail strike here in Peru. )I appreciate his full <br />
support and love. His daily mundane information that helped me feel like I was there and still connected to<br />
my family. The sacrifices that my father has made for me, really can not be expressed, but his love is this <br />
simple but momentousness act of daily thought and love really has helped me in my mission and helped me <br />
know that I not only have support from God, but from my parents as well. And for that I couldn't be more grateful. In this week I hope that we can continue with the spirit of Fathers day<br />
from Sunday but also all the week all the year have this love and appreciation for our fathers and our parents.<br />

Well this days marks my 17 month mark here in the mission, and thus the beginning of the end, or the beginning of my last month in the mission. This week was full full full! The last p-day we had we went to Plaza Norte, close to my first area in the mission, and went piddling around buying doodads, and taking pictures with some famous locals that were visiting. We were able to buy food and get prepared for the week. This week we had the opportunity to go to the different zones during their zone meeting to be able to present my new companion, get the new missionaries excited about Historia Familiar and remind them about the program that we have to be able to help their recent converts and rescued members to go to the temple! It’s always an exhausting day using the public transportation here in San Juan to get around town, but we survived! Wednesday we did divisions, permitting my companion help out in a wedding of a family in San Carlos that got married so they could be baptized. She was a witness to the event, she got to sign the official documents saying that the event took place and it was an awesome experience, because this was the first family that she has ever married in the mission! Wednesday in the night was a rush to get everything in place, calling the converts-printing names- trying to find numeros de cedula to get their account working, to go to the temple Thursday.<br />

It was our first trip to the temple this transfer, and boy was it a fiasco. There was a problem and the bus and the priesthood team that were going to help us with the work in the temple… never came. We found this out while we were waiting outside the chapel with our converts at 6 in the morning. So after some tense moments of stress, desperation and fervent prayer we found a solution and made our own way to the temple via train. With some miracles we got there, the temple let us in, the temple workers helped us out and the converts that came were able to enter and do baptism for the dead. We owe a great deal to an awesome convert, Miguel, who helped guide us through the train system and what buses to take, because neither my companion nor I knew how to get to the temple from where we were at. I can say with all certainty that Hermano Miguel was an answer to our desperate prayers that morning.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Friday was a dreary drizzly day, buy nothing that a Peruvian churro can´t fix (the best churros in THE WORLD), and these churros got us through the panic of trying to find keys to the chapel and the family history center. We were informed the morning of that the stake center had gone under a type of bug bomb treatment and that nobody could enter until the afternoon. So we frantically try to call everyone to tell them that were not going to be able to be there. But as we pass by to pick up keys from a nearby house, we see people inside! We ring the doorbell and a custodian comes and lets us in. We ask about the bug bombing and he replies "What bug bombing?". So it was all a big rumor, and we had to cancel everything for nothing. We were realy frustrated and tired of running around to try and find keys for the stake center, however the day ended well with a big group of converts that came to learn about thier Family History and find some names. We have a big list to go to the temple this 02 de Julio and were still 3 weeks out! I hope we can bring a huge group this next time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This week, we also had an adventure with hot chocolate. My companion brought the swiss miss hot chocolate packets and was pouring my hot water for me, but while she was pouring i noticed something black escape from the pitcher into my glass. By now with the chocolate powered, the water was opaque and so I couldn't see if it was my imagination or not, and with my spoon i was trying to frantically stir and find the object. I couldn't, my companion doubted if i saw anything in the first place, so I started to drink with trepidation. about halfway through the glass, i found it... and it wasn't a cucaracha like I feared, but was just a harmless over-sized raisin that was there. So it was mystery solved, i finished my glass, and my companion and I had a good laugh.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I´m excited to see you all soon and hope that you all stay safe!<br />
<br />
Con mucho amor,<br />

<br />This week went incredibly fast, maybe its due to the fact that we're writing early but wow! So p-day we bought lunch at a local grocery store, went to the chapel and watched the movie "Up" as a zone. Afterwards we had time to run some errands and take a sweet blessed nap. Good stuff. Monday and Tuesday we were super busy with all the recent converts that the missionaries were bringing and us trying to add some family history decorations to the offices to get the vibe and fung-shway on our side :)<br /><br />We were blessed this week to have a special training from the President and his assistants in which we learned about the importance of using your voice as a trumpet (literally raising your voice and not being afraid to be bold) and how important it is to use inspired questions and teach clearly the gospel. To emphasize his point, the president at one point asked a sister to come in front of everyone and with the voice of a trumpet begin to teach lesson 3. It was interesting to see how maybe we are shy and timid to make waves or are scared of the reaction and rejection of the people we teach. However, now it is the goal of mine to try and liven things up once in a while with the "muertos" or all the dead people here in La Historia Familiar and see if I can wake a few people up with my "trumpet voice". I tried it yesterday and I think it went ok, sometimes I feel bad raising my voice at these sweet little grandmas that they bring, but I figure that maybe they can't hear well so its ok. Ha-ha.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

This same day, after the training from the president, we gathered up another group of recent converts and were able to go to the temple. We went with a big group this time of 16 people (plus some regular members) and for 11 of them it was the first time EVER that they had been at the temple. Some of them stayed outside with us, and we were able to show them the beautiful temple grounds, the distribution center, have a temple photo shoot (this temple is so gorgeous that nobody can help themselves and everyone has to have some type of mini photo shoot) and the we showed them some of the shops that if you know where to look you can find. It was fun to be able to share our testimonies about the temples with the recent converts and be able to be a spiritual tour guide. After wards we were able to get everyone home safe and sound, and one of the recent converts contacted the bus driver and now has a reference to give to some of the elders that are in our zone. How cool is that?<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8fYNqXGvACUkI9E7Sq-qtvvrwONtftHPjkqeP5poCkYSuE5PPEp8dwTkNIneNOj_vx74SsB4pi9bESRCHmLn9qNxzqYftu-gW8jhAs2J21sg0FpMwJL5sPW0apk22fLcFLepg5bsfi_6/s1600/122_1104%255B1%255D.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO8fYNqXGvACUkI9E7Sq-qtvvrwONtftHPjkqeP5poCkYSuE5PPEp8dwTkNIneNOj_vx74SsB4pi9bESRCHmLn9qNxzqYftu-gW8jhAs2J21sg0FpMwJL5sPW0apk22fLcFLepg5bsfi_6/s320/122_1104%255B1%255D.JPG" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQtXooDqYxCEF2QETmjns8ArHDM0MTHzAWyqCpWt3ociJpCbWRzEeojCp_-F1TPvE9FnGDxUsGAJbbTkOT2S-3W6hE9EY2IAbzll9rEoPkAd2xneC3GkiA19-up234ZIHatRDndbQuaOSp/s1600/122_1108%255B1%255D.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQtXooDqYxCEF2QETmjns8ArHDM0MTHzAWyqCpWt3ociJpCbWRzEeojCp_-F1TPvE9FnGDxUsGAJbbTkOT2S-3W6hE9EY2IAbzll9rEoPkAd2xneC3GkiA19-up234ZIHatRDndbQuaOSp/s320/122_1108%255B1%255D.JPG" /></a><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Friday was a crazy run around day but it all turned out well. After the late night at the temple, we woke up nice and early to be able to be in the offices in time for my companions English test. To all the Latinos there is an opportunity to take an English exam in which they ask you questions through the computer, and a test proctor listens to your voice and then gives you a score. My old companion, Hermana Osinaga from Bolivia, scored a 6 out of 7, 7 being the highest score! Hermana Inca later this next week will find out her score. We were practicing on the bus ride there, and it was amazing because she was answering really well, and then later I was told that she never before the mission had studied English. Wow how cool is that with how much that she has learned! And to finish the night, we were having problems with getting our laundry washed. The sister that usually does it has been without water for two weeks, and we tried washing some stuff by hand but there just really isn't time as a missionary. So we tried to find solutions and the bishops wife let us borrow her machine to wash the essentials and we sent the rest to a close lavanderia. We were like, oh its going to be so expensive.. but no! it was surprisingly cheap so we were super grateful. But at the end of the night, after running around all the the town trying to drop of the clothes in different places we went to buy yogurt from our neighbor, I put the hamper down for one min to give her change... and a DOG comes and starts TO PEE on the freshly washed clothes. I yell and we go chasing after the dog, and it was just soooooo bad that after ALL the hassle to transport- beg- and plead favors to get laundry of 2 weeks washed, that a dog had to come and do its business. Thankfully I think we scared it off before it could really get anything wet, and after a carefully sniffing test we decided that everything was good to wear. Oh count your blessings!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br /><br />All is well in Zion this week, and serving as a sister missionary consultant of family history has been rewarding. As we traveled to the different stakes this week, we had the opportunity to meet lots of new people this time around and start new accounts, and reserve lots of new names. This is really exciting, because its a new wave of people that we want to help make it to the temple and of course that means that their ancestors can progress as well. Thinking back on the week, there was an older gentleman Saturday, named Santiago who was very prepared! He came with the missionaries that were teaching him, and he only had one year as a member, but was super gung-ho to be able to do his own family work in the temple. As we shared the discussion with him and two other brothers that were in the room, he knew all the answers and we had to call on the other participants specifically by name to give them a chance to answer the questions. Santiago was so thrilled and so excited to answer all the questions that you just couldn't help but smile and share in his enthusiasm. He diligent reads the Book of Mormon everyday (re-reading it now because he`s already finished it) and studies his principles of the gospel Manuel as well- what a great conversion this man has had! He told us that his wife still will have nothing to do with the church, but with his contagious enthusiasm and spiritual spunk- I believe that all things are possible!<br /><br />We also had a great opportunity this week to hear directly from our President and his wife. I absolutely love multi-zone conferences and the messages that President Erickson and Sister Erickson really touched home with me! I loved Sister Erickson`s talk as she described the joy she recently had to have ALL of her family (minus the president because he stayed in Peru with us) enter the temple to be there for the sealing of one of her sons. As she showed us the picture of their family together, she reminded us that she has TWO families and wants the same success and same results from the family that she has here in Peru (us the missionaries). She talked about how in her early marriage years, her husband and her put goals on how they wanted to cultivate their family and how they looked to other examples in the church congregation to see how it was done. Some interesting "techniques" mentioned were:<br /><br /><br /> The son/daughter can not drive until they have their eagle scout/ young woman medallion<br /><br /> Everyone sits together in church, and we go EACH Sunday<br /><br /> Monthly father interviews with each member of the family<br /><br /> Family home evenings and prayer<br /><br /> *This next one I actually heard a while a go from a brother that was talking in a stake conference I think but its deserves a mention here: You can not use your phone as scriptures for church meeting etc. until you have read ALL of the scriptures yourself physically.<br /><br />President Erickson talked about the different attitudes and influences that the spirit, or Satan can have on us. It gave me a lot of insight on some past behaviors that well, I need to repent of and how I can better recognize the influence of the spirit to be who Heavenly Father wants me to be.<br /><br />This upcoming P-Day will be a special "mundial" pday and so we will be using internet Saturday. So for those who write me, this week I ask that you mail it Friday night so there is something to read that day. Thank you all so much for your support and I hope to hear from y'all next week!<div>

These last two weeks have been great! I think that I'm finally getting the hang of what it is that we do and teach, and how to help the people here get to become familiar with the program and feel the need to do their family history. We had a great trip to the temple in which 11 different converts went, and it was the first time for 5 of them to enter and do the work for the dead. Many of the people that we have been working with have their own names from their family to do the work for, so it was a great spiritual experience for them. I`ve forgotten how much it is that I explained the week before about what it is that we do: so forgive me if this is a repeat.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

My companion and I, Hermana Inca, travel the different stake centers/ capillas during the week and work in the family history centers. There the missionaries in the area make an appointment to bring either a recent convert or a person freshly rescued to come talk with us. For the first visit we give a "in depth" lesson about God`s promise to have all hear about the gospel, how Jesus went to the spirit world to preach when his mortal body was in the tomb for three days and how is it that the two sides of the spirit world are liberated. If your really curious the majority of scriptures that we use are:<br /><br />John 3:16<br /><br />Romans 10:17<br /><br />John 5:20<br /><br />Isaiah: 6:1<br /><br />Luke 23<br /><br />John 20:17<br /><br />D&C 138<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />And well since I`m learning more about how to use the family search program and I`m fortunate enough to have some of the people already added to my tree- I wanted to do a highlight or a shout out to an ancestor this week. This week I want to start out with two, Abraham Jame Bowers Sr. and Christina Sinclair- my great great grandparents on the side of my father. What I could read about them is that they had a "Golden Wedding" anniversary celebrating their 50 years married together. 50 years!!!! How crazy is that? They had a huge party and invited all the the town to come dance and celebrate. There is one story in which a son fondly recalls that during the party, his father asked him for 5 dollars to pay the band, because they had spent just about everything for their party! How funny is that. This amazing couple served a mission for 6 months in the Manti temple, and had various calling including being part of a "ward reunion committee for over 20 years". There are a great example to me on how to have a marriage that really is made to last. <table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I had transfers! So yea big news now is that I'm one of the new family history consultant missionaries in the Lima Peru north mission. There are two comparisons of this calling, and I'm in the part in a place called San Juan de Lurigancho. Its the last and only part of the mission that I had never been to, so I was thrilled to be able to see the three different zone of the mission and be working in this new calling!<br />
We do not work in the mission office, but work in the different stake centers and chapels here in this area. we travel everyday to be in a different chapel and work in the family history center of the stake or chapel.Our purpose is to be able to help the recent converts and menos activos that have come back to the church STAY and be able to make it into the temple. We first teach a detailed lesson about the spirit world and the importance of family history work. We talk about D&C 138 and what it is that Jesus did during his three days dead. And then we help them create an account in Family Search, explain the program to them, and give them homework to be able to find their information about their ancestors so they can reserve names to go to the temple.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We also organize trips to the temple and bring them so they can enter and do the work. Its really really cool!!! <br />
I'm just in the process of learning and knowing how to best magnify my calling, but its super interesting this unexpected twist of fate you could say. My new companion is Hermana Inca, she is from Ecuador is 21, and is finishing her mission in this transfer.</div>

Well the mission this week has been a great joy for me. Im anticipating that ill be transfered to a new area (ill find out later today if yes or not) and so i´ve been trying to enjoy my last week in SanCarlos as much as i could. I had my happy 15 month mark and me and my companion worked hard, but also were able to celebrate well the week long. We first made hot chocolate and had a good long chat about everything. The pday last week, we went to the central market and bought matching cheeta pants that we wore and took pictures with! The small but sweet joys of life no?</div>

The next day we went to a small resturant next to the church that is owned by less actives. We contacted the owner, ordered a meal (for my happy month) and then were able to make an appointment to talk with the owner this next week that comes. I hope it all works out and we can rekindle the spirit in his heart.</div>

Thursdaday was awesome becuase we had lunch with the bishop, and he went and found A&W rootbeer and we had rootbeer floats. They were sooo good and Elder Ushi never had tired it before so it was fun to share it with him. he brough his worms or suri again so we were able to try it for a 2nd time. Also... a suprise came and i got a huge package in the mail. After 5 months in travel... finally my christmas package came and it was soo fun to open it and have a mini christmas experience. My companion and i divided the gifts into two piles and took turns opening the gifts up. I explained the joke we have in our family about how everything is a flashlight and my companion was playing along. it was soooooooooo cool to get all the cool stuff, and then be able to share it with the people we visit. I was passing out a piece of beef jerkey to all the people we visit and then the memebers of our ward council. Some liked it, some not... but it was a first expeirence for a lot of them!</div>

We tried to show a little love to some of the less actives or recent converts that were attending church through means of heart attacking and it was fun to try and sick everything up and then try and run away with out being detected. The week ended on a high note with an old investigador attending church. her name is Maivey and she is a single mother a little boy that has 6 years. Were hoping to work with her to be bapitized with her goal of May. Well see what happens!</div>

What can I say about this week. We had interview with the president, and that leaves me with one more interview in July before I return home. It was a good chance to talk to him for a little bit and Sister Ecrickson gave us REESES for having our apartment clean. I about cried and it was soooo good when i ate it later. This week my companion had her happy 11 month mark and so I ordered us pizza to celebrate. the actual date when she had her 11 months we didn't do anything because we were sick and had ward council so we got late home. So i made it up to her and ordered the pizza but it was SOOO late when it arrived! We asked at 9;15 and it got to our room at 11. We had given up hope, brushed our teeth and were in bed. Then BOOM BOOM BOOM we hear a knock on our door and it was the pizza woman. We step out blurry eyed and accept the pizza. I pay the price (everyone tells me it should have been free, but what would have Christ done?) and we have a little picnic on our floor eating the pizza until 11:30 at night. Ha ha.<br />

One of our recent converts, Rosita, had her 13th birthday and we helped out the mom (who isn't a member) in decorating the house when her daughter was at school. It was super fun, and made me realize how much I miss decorating! Crazy. It was cute to see everyone getting excited, and then we pass by later in the night to take some silly photos and see just how absolutely she glowed with happiness with her birthday party.<br />

Other than that our week was normal. Just teaching preaching, and trying to get people to come to church. This week was... another let down. The people that we committed to come... didn't. We passed by their houses, called them... and nothing. So last night we went to visit them and see what happened. Were trying to keep things positive but its been week after week of the same that were admittedly getting frustrated. But there is always hope for this next week and we hope to start it off well. We even fasted this Saturday for our investigator, and it was exactly when everyone wanted to buy us food that night. but we were strong and said no no no and were able to complete our fast! It´ll do good I know! Well next week are transfers so well see where I end up going (either staying here or going to a new area). I hope that everyone is in good health and I wish you all the very best!<br />

Happy Easter to all or as they say here Feliz Semana Santa o Feliz Pascua! Here is a weekend long of time to be with family, festivities and different misas. The culture is predominately catholic here, so there were lots of movies about Jesus on the TV Friday and Saturday, people in the streets with their palm fronds in processions singing, and even people doing reenactments in the streets of the last supper, and then of the betrayal of Jesus. I didn't have my camera to snap a pictures, but it was the first time I saw the plays and it was interesting! Viernes Santo were treated to a chifa or a Chinese restaurant by a member and it was good! (though my hearts still set on Panda Express on the states). Saturday we were super happy and excited to be able to hear and see conference. We didn't have any investigators in the Saturday sessions, but Sunday was awesome to have 5 different people listening and experiencing conference for the first time. </div>

<br />Earlier in the week, Tuesday, we had a little ward activity in which we watched the new videos of the bible about the atonement of Jesus Christ and were able to have some of our new converts come. It was a great opportunity to remember a little bit about the importance of the season and then be able to play games afterwards. <br /><br />Wednesday, my companion whipped out her talents and a member bought all the ingredients and she made Tacos. I did not realize how much this Californian Girl missed Mexican food, until my taste buds came into contact with the heavenly bundle of taco supremeness that my companion made. I just about cried. ah ha ha.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The most exciting thing this week was having our five investigators in the church these week. one is the mother of a recent convert that we absolutely love and her son in the mission in Argentina. Shes been investigating the church for a while but hasn't felt the confidence or spiritual umph you could say to be baptized, and I hope that the conference helped her feel the spirit and awaken the desire to make a covenant with her heavenly father. Another joy was to have a young married couple with their newly born baby come to church and enjoy the second Sunday session. We have hopes for them to progress and it was the first time that they have attended a religious meeting in our church, and they said they liked it! So were hoping that they´ll get a testimony of the book of Mormon soon and accept to be baptized. There was another surprise as well. A member gave us a reference of a old investigator, we passed by, but he wasn't home. So we left a pamphlet and a note. Lo and behold, he shows up the the morning session of conference with the note, and later today we have an appointment with him, so were keeping our fingers crossed that maybe this time he´ll accept to be baptized. <br /><br />I hope for everyone that it was a fun Easter season and that we can always apply the sacrifice of Jesus that this week represents in our lives.<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Well I´m short on time due to some school matters but I hope you enjoy the fotos of the yunsa! This week is the semana Santa or the holy week to commemorate Easter. Were going to do a special activity Wednesday to celebrate Jesus and his resurrection, and the people here have various forms to be able to celebrate. A Yunsa is when they put up a tree full of prizes, it could be balloons, shirts, plastic chairs, food, and then they all dance around the tree and take turns whacking at it with an ax. The person who cuts the tree has to pay for the new tree next year. Its a gran pinata of sorts ha ha. This week, once again, we didn't have investigators in the chapel. Its interesting because were doing all our part, so were trying to stay positive and see what the lord is trying to teach us. Enjoy general conference and I hope that all is well wherever it is that you read this letter!!!!!<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

So this week was bitter and sweet. It was a really good week in fact, but absolutely no one came to church that we had committed so we are really bummed out. However, I'm only going to focus on all the absolutely cool stuff that happened this week to turn the frowns upside downs!!</div>

Monday was fun because we had a water fight with a whole bunch of zones. my companion had the brilliant idea to go to the market and buy water guns. so we zoom off in a motto taxi and return and start to sneak attack everyone. it was super muddy where the hose was, and the zone leaders started carrying and dropping one another in the giant mud pit. the sisters started flinging mud at each other, but I escaped unmuddified. later we finished the day at a pizza restaurant with old friends in different zones and it was a great day. <br /><br /><br />Wednesday we had a meeting with Elder Godoy who is a general authority (70). He originally speaks Portuguese and we heard from our mission president and his wife, then from sister Godoy and Elder Godoy. Elder Godoy was super warm friendly, and surprisingly humorous. It was a great training and I got to ask a question (he did a question and answer session) and learned more about the importance of being sealed as a family. <br /><br /><br />When we returned we had the talent show for our ward which turned out to be great fun. Our dancing contacts came and were able to show off their talents and we were able to sing querido juan with Oscar, our first counselor and then give our shadow puppet show a whirl. we miscalculated the difficulties to manage the puppets, hold the microphone, and read the script while hiding behind a low blanket with a extremely hot lamp behind us... so it didn't really come out who we wanted, but yea it was an experience well never forget, and my companion and I still crack up thinking about it.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiex0FI7mNbmrvXsWq1Sdjonf5WqINJamp-jRIv-zBojmKcia1gVxdn_ZSrSve3GZlV5CAp7S8xL8R9iPK9jHoUOZnPxx0mKkFom8sw0xWP4n2PjbRXlh9W9D-6geQh-mfbUrMiTE8uC4Wo/s1600/DSC01311.JPG"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiex0FI7mNbmrvXsWq1Sdjonf5WqINJamp-jRIv-zBojmKcia1gVxdn_ZSrSve3GZlV5CAp7S8xL8R9iPK9jHoUOZnPxx0mKkFom8sw0xWP4n2PjbRXlh9W9D-6geQh-mfbUrMiTE8uC4Wo/s1600/DSC01311.JPG" width="300" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS30RT_aAoPWEQLTwZ98yeUeGy0-x-T5HXDYV34bJZ1Ri0UsAL6hGEAmWm7NjP-XflutX__mQeM-37DRQhDAdzJC5bSgN-6sOO0yyRqkhvnDxhZAA2L1PlnRHe-pmuloT6IeOL3JW3aKCS/s1600/DSC01314.JPG"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS30RT_aAoPWEQLTwZ98yeUeGy0-x-T5HXDYV34bJZ1Ri0UsAL6hGEAmWm7NjP-XflutX__mQeM-37DRQhDAdzJC5bSgN-6sOO0yyRqkhvnDxhZAA2L1PlnRHe-pmuloT6IeOL3JW3aKCS/s1600/DSC01314.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />Then Saturday we were able to go to a baptism of my companions old investigator in her area that is just a couple of blocks from where were at. This brother heard from the missionaries 14 years ago but didn't get baptized for personal doubts and struggles. but lo and behold when sister Paez and her companion knocked on the door it changed his life forever, and this last Saturday could enter into the path that could bring him back to his heavenly father. I really liked his story because it makes me feel better about all the people that we maybe have tried to help and teach that rejected the message. we never know the impact of our presence on this person, and maybe just 14 years down the road they remember and be able to have the faith to take the step to come unto the Father. <br /><br /><br />For lunch Saturday a member, Alisia Montero, made us the well known Cui for lunch. or as it is called in English, guinea pig. We were super excited to be able to try it because it was the first time for my companion and I and we squealed and ate as much as we could. the way the sister prepared it you eat the skin and everything.... and it was such an experience!!! she gave us the heads as well, and i ate an eyeball, and my companion the tongue, but we didn't have enough morally courage for the other parts (ie the brain). Elder Ushi helped us out with that. Saturday then ended perfectly when our first counselor invited the district to pizza (we now have a new favorite pizza place). We got to hear a bit of his conversion story, and how awesome really is the book of Mormon!!! (he went from smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day to 0!!!)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidlNPxKq_0tHH6_eP-jB0fC18rd-IBgKG80Tg08uu-C-j4wE2szKxqbfdVGSB0VmsUCnnapb7P95_hplgC8PtHNU0E5cp3fM9xEiuIlQMqvyiaokmwWUO4Dtb5tIaegneLQ0oGcT2YBv7W/s1600/DSC01325.JPG"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidlNPxKq_0tHH6_eP-jB0fC18rd-IBgKG80Tg08uu-C-j4wE2szKxqbfdVGSB0VmsUCnnapb7P95_hplgC8PtHNU0E5cp3fM9xEiuIlQMqvyiaokmwWUO4Dtb5tIaegneLQ0oGcT2YBv7W/s1600/DSC01325.JPG" width="300" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcssnAebMsriq3SF242UjXXruljeB-KEDUNrcG_3zNtf9V1LCwVaoG5DO2sGWzcNqIZ_3cPsKK_7Zziz6ZI6Z-6nUCXu0Za1SydDebdzJnY8jzKyxicCvqDB0u3xKNBHN4Xzj4aQNaUUfA/s1600/DSC01332.JPG"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcssnAebMsriq3SF242UjXXruljeB-KEDUNrcG_3zNtf9V1LCwVaoG5DO2sGWzcNqIZ_3cPsKK_7Zziz6ZI6Z-6nUCXu0Za1SydDebdzJnY8jzKyxicCvqDB0u3xKNBHN4Xzj4aQNaUUfA/s1600/DSC01332.JPG" width="320" /></a><br /><br /><div>

Then well, Sunday ended on a rather sad note when the 8 or 9 people that we committed to come to church... well didn't. I was tearing up a little in sacrament meeting but a loving member who we reactivated (Miriam whose son we baptized) was so very loving, gave me a sweet note and made me feel a lot better. It doesn't matter the language, the place, the culture, the country, the love of the savior is so strong and influences so many to do good its astounding. <br /><br /><br />Shout out to my mother for her awesome missionary experience this week, and I would love to hear from others of ways that they are opening their mouth to be able to share the good news of the gospel.<br /><br /><br />Much love de<br /><br /><br />Herman Bowers<br /></div>

After that I think that I will go to a different area... "to die" as they say in the mission. I'm really excited to be with my companion and to still be in this area. We are hitting a rut as it goes progress wise, but finally we had one person come to church for the first time this last week, so it was great to have at least ONE that is progressing now. <br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />A funny story that happened last night is that we passed by to see if a family was home to visit and they were just leaving, but a neighbor was passing by. We invited her to the talent show that we were going to have and she absolutely lit up! Oh my boy sings and dances she exclaimed. She was talking about it, and then invited us into her house to show us the taping that she had of her child on TV a couple of days ago. And it sure is true, he sings and dances like a little maniac and is incredible! he was in the house (hes 11) and performed for us, as well as his 3 year old sister, and we were talking about his experiences. To show our appreciation we shared a bit about the plan of salvation and the family accepted us to come back and share a bit more this Friday. they told us they won't baptize because they´re baptized in the catholic church, but we have faith that hearing about the restored gospel will help the holy ghost to touch their hearts and changes their minds! That is a big obstacle that we have hit this week about people only wanted to listen to us, but not follow through with their promises. But were trying to do practice and verify better to try and help the people progress. <br /><br />This next week we have a tour from Elder Godoy, and were super excited. This Wednesday were going to hear from him my companion and I are stoked! Also in our ward we have a missionary activity of a talent show. us missionaries are preparing to tell a story from the Book of Mormon using shadow puppets. We have been working on it with every free moment that we have and I think that it will turn our really great! I don't know how to send videos but at least I try to send pictures.<br /><br />Hope everything is going well, I love to hear form you all, and I appreciate your prayers, emails, and letters! Yesterday I completed 14 months in my mission. I hope to continue to receive your support for these last 4! Whooo!</div>

So we piddled around trying to find something to do, and well after a while my companion and I went out to lunch and then did our grocery shopping. We found some milk that called my interest (to my quarter dutch side) and then we ate ice cream and paid to lay in some massage (I don't know how to spell that) chairs for 10 min. IT WAS FANTASTIC :)<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-weight: normal;">This week was just trying to find new people to teach that want to progress. We have found that a lot of our investigators receive us to teach and everything, but don't progress. So were trying to find people that are waiting to hear about the gospel and want to complete with the commitments that we leave them (read tier scriptures, go to church). We did divisions to go and pick up people for church, we had a gran total of 11 people we were going to bring... and not a single one came. this is the second week that this has happened so we wont be baptizing until the middle of march (because the investigators need to attend at least 3 time for 3 hours before we can baptize them), but were trying to keep our chins up, and be happy, and see where the Lord guides us.</span></h3>

The most exciting thing this week is that a family of three said yes to baptism. We went to pick them up, but weren't home but at least we got them to say yes, so they´ll be our goal for April :) it was a cool moment when my companion extended the invitation and finally the reservations seemed to melt from the mother and she said YES! With a little more cultivating I think all will work out just great. <br /><br /><br />Today is transfers, and my companion and I really have no idea what will happen. I hope that we get to stick together till April, or the end of this transfers, but ill have to fill you guys in next week! Our ward is really awesome, and supporting us with praying for our investigators. We have started at the end of every lunch leaving list of names for the families to include in their prayers with their specific challenges. We have received a lot of enthusiasm from the members, and I know well see the fruit of our labors soon!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Well this week started with a surprise, we were winding down Tuesday in the night and we received a call from the mission assistants. My companion was transferred to another area and we had to be ready in the offices at 10 in the morning the next day! So it was a flurry of packing writing letters, trying to say good bye to members and converts and then whoosh like a twinkling of an eye Hermana Paez was my new companion.<br />

Hermana Paez is from Mexico, she is 20 years old, will complete 10 months in the mission this 7 of March. She loves to cook, sing, dance and is just a great big bundle of joy. I really hope that we stay together in this area of San Carlos for the transfer that starts the 10 of March and I´m super excited to have her as a companion. <br />
<br />
<br />
So this week as been full of showing my companion all our recent converts, the less active that we're trying to reactive and rescue, and the different families that were trying to teach and help be baptized. Tuesday night we had an activity of carinavles (water games) and we had a few investigators show up which was cool (they didn't come to church this Sunday but its a start no?). <br />

This Saturday we had the a very special baptism for me of Sebastain Brad Blas Sosa. His mother was a less active that we have rescued and with the mother active and supporting we were able to baptize Sebastain. He has been such a great example and support for his mother to be able to reactivate and attend all the hours of church. He was always helping his mom get ready and trying to get her in the church so he could be baptized. Miriam, the mother, is an amazing mother and a dear friend of mine. She is divorced and has had many struggles in her life, but really has all the desires to make it to the temple and be able to put things right and enjoy the blessings that she knows she has been missing. The two are just absolutely fantastic and it was a joy to participate in their baptism this Saturday. <br />

All I have to say this week is that the Lord works in mysterious ways, and he may not always answer our prayers when we want, or how we want them to be answered, but does hear us and always wants what is best for us. I know that if we stay obedient, and try our best he will bless us with joy and happiness and that sometimes its hard to understand and apply, but really our happiness doesn't depend on the actions of other people. I love all of you!<br />

This week was a crazy crazy crazy week, but we ended with the baptism of Karen so it all worked out well. Karen is a 16 year old that has had a very rough life and due to life circumstances went to live with a friend who is a member in our ward. She was introduced to the church and we've been teaching her the lessons. she accepted to be baptized, but because of some work issues the elders said that she couldn't and she was really devastated. But then we received a call Friday night at 11 pm saying that there was a mis-communication and that YES she could be baptized. in the morning we raced to the market where she was working... to find that she wasn't there. then we found her in her house and invited her to be baptized again that same night. she accepted and we had to spread the word to the whole ward and get it all organized, but after some hair pulling moments she was baptized and yesterday confirmed! Her example and testimony is suuupppperrr cool and she wants to be a missionary one day :) So that was the highlight of this week. For p day we went to Lima central again and it leaves me with one more visit as my time as a missionary. We also had a multi-zone meeting with our president and he talked about the gift of charity and if we want to develop other spiritual gifts we have to have charity or we are nothing. <br />

</tbody></table>
So this week I celebrated my 13 month mark and Valentines day in the best way possible for a missionary... A baptism!!! Reynaldo Abat is now officially a remember of the restored Church of Jesus Christ. He was sad at first because no one in his family was going to attend, the same day a Sobrina planed a baby shower, there was a wedding, and well of course it was valentines day. But when we were going to the church we told us that it doesn't matter who is there, because its something important that he is doing with God and not with man. we congratulated him for his attitude and the ordinance was completed without a hitch! They didn't put a chair in the baptism font and we were really nervous because before he specifically asked for a chair, but with the member and the elder he was able to go into and come out of the water without a problem and my companion and I sighed a big sigh of relief. Reynaldos son came at the very end and we had a chance to present ourselves and we have plans on trying to visit him in his house and share the gospel as well!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxLwW605oyVvSq4jzrD_LQ21EmtE4sfL-eCSsKJKe-Bauak-iT9akqFMFGn3HSMirBuE9ALn7B6_RvG6ytV4C2HAOVaMWsIRa2G4MDT00BifKWoxCPjvY5z9y9AuR_AK8defzB39AWV8J/s1600/Kristin+bapism.JPG"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqxLwW605oyVvSq4jzrD_LQ21EmtE4sfL-eCSsKJKe-Bauak-iT9akqFMFGn3HSMirBuE9ALn7B6_RvG6ytV4C2HAOVaMWsIRa2G4MDT00BifKWoxCPjvY5z9y9AuR_AK8defzB39AWV8J/s1600/Kristin+bapism.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3iq24RuMDvNcixv8hzLhJqjs8NMjhcqqGivLiTuvp0N5WCgOlsPS1fgu80KP1sMplmxiv9JVyUU7MHtERcw-5Y3Pc_QsNP7muCH8TkOdnZtSViM8atzmBjPIQdLMdWcf9AUmiB-sAE-DW/s1600/Kristin+family.JPG"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3iq24RuMDvNcixv8hzLhJqjs8NMjhcqqGivLiTuvp0N5WCgOlsPS1fgu80KP1sMplmxiv9JVyUU7MHtERcw-5Y3Pc_QsNP7muCH8TkOdnZtSViM8atzmBjPIQdLMdWcf9AUmiB-sAE-DW/s1600/Kristin+family.JPG" width="240" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

As a added bonus I got to see Anthony my convert from Collique at a stake activity that they have for the young adults and he is still doing strong, active and is up through 3 Nephi in the book of Mormon! Aldofo is leaving for his mission in 9 days and another youth received his mission call to Columbia. We had an exchange of gifts between the sisters in our zone and Sister Valdivia gave me earrings (and i can still put them in without problems whew!). I was super sweet and a cool experience to think about my Valentines day before in the CCM and the possibles in the future. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDHAgBCkpguLex73kK_KScSThus5aiOz8qOUS7SLvt5ylP2d5fwuG02G_W8hZ8AhCkWBOKMz_8QoFjsJcCQ61VI-e-hq_cOpcKxvrgRF-Fc8Gg3DFRyZkJ1Sb8f2AlEqDIJaGa3T8g3_hZ/s1600/H+eating+her+1+year+cake.JPG"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDHAgBCkpguLex73kK_KScSThus5aiOz8qOUS7SLvt5ylP2d5fwuG02G_W8hZ8AhCkWBOKMz_8QoFjsJcCQ61VI-e-hq_cOpcKxvrgRF-Fc8Gg3DFRyZkJ1Sb8f2AlEqDIJaGa3T8g3_hZ/s1600/H+eating+her+1+year+cake.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOfN_1kEJVRdrfJHO-bVb-EUzjHwoReo5wQ4Yd0Iw2VkAVvUs6LkMxE8oAS-B_mqznSSkFnfEKb5hQMrJflz5w_-6pXiDIJDTXzLUevmKdFet4IicpUX4STvmDfY3L25Yj1MkLNXFP3zzb/s1600/H+1+year+cake.JPG"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOfN_1kEJVRdrfJHO-bVb-EUzjHwoReo5wQ4Yd0Iw2VkAVvUs6LkMxE8oAS-B_mqznSSkFnfEKb5hQMrJflz5w_-6pXiDIJDTXzLUevmKdFet4IicpUX4STvmDfY3L25Yj1MkLNXFP3zzb/s1600/H+1+year+cake.JPG" width="200" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

This week was also a little funny because we went to the house of a recent convert to teach and there was a team of sell persons form Herbal life. we came both times in the middle of their "show" or pitch and they listened to us and afterwards we listened to them and it was... awkward very awkward but yea we escaped and now the herbal life people know a little more about the word of wisdom and nobodies worse off!<br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

My companion and I are just super awed at his willingness to accept and apply the gospel, and we think he´ll be a bishop or something in the future ha ha. The last Sunday when he didn't come to church was a bummer, but we talked to him and he told us how he as waiting and waiting, but the brother was late so he thought he want going to come. And then lo and behold an old soccer friend happens to pass by and invite him to watch. So he goes with the friend and boom they're all drinking alcohol. BUT, Reinaldo holds firm and when they ask him why doesn't he drink now, he firmly states that hes made a promise and he has to complete with it. So they buy him water. And then the food starts getting passed around. BUT we had just taught him about the law of fasting, and he committed to fasting the first Sunday of February and so he said a firm NO! he fasted for 24 hours!!!! WOW! We were just ecstatic when he told us his stories and its really a joy to teach and be taught by him. he has his last and final interview this Saturday and all is good to go for the baptism. because of his legs well baptism him with a chair and two people behind to help him go in and out of the water. Reinaldo is really excited, inviting all of his family and wanting to bring his nieces and nephews to the church with him :) he really is an investigator of gold. <br /><br /><br />This week we helped a member move from an old house that she had to a new room that shes renting because her daughter is coming home from the mission this week. It was suuuupaa trunky and sooo sweet to see how excited the mother was, how worried she was about what they were going to do, and see the happiness in her eyes and countenance to think of her daughter coming back. It was a hot and sweaty work in the full heat of Peru, however it was just a little taste of whats to come after the mission (with regards to the happiness of the mother and father) and it was gratifying (and a bit trunkifying haha).<br /><br /><br />I'm excited to let you know how it all goes with the baptism of Reinaldo in next week!<br /><br /><br />hermana bowers<br />H.

<i><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Well this week ended on a little of a sad note. Our next baptism date that we had set up for this Saturday fell through because our investigator didn't come to church. the member we assigned to pick him up went to his house, and a niece informed him that he had gone to watch a futbol game. So our valiant member drove to the park, didn't find him, returned to the house and asked again, went to a different park still couldn't find him, and then eventually came to church. It was very strange because the night before we had talked with our investigator, his name is Reinaldo, and he was super excited to come and for his baptism. We dropped him off at his house after attending a baptism that we had this Saturday of a young woman named Kristine and seemed to be enjoying himself. But there is opposition in all things no? As soon as we can were going to try and stop by and see what happened and see if we can reset the baptism for this 14th of February. We fasted this Sunday for everything to go well for the baptism, so with what happened im trying to think then maybe this is the lord helping up realize that this isn't exactly the right time and manner for Reinaldo.<br /><br /><br />However, like i mentioned we had a baptism Kristine which was a sweet experience. The missionaries before me started the discussions with her and she didn't want anything to do with baptism. her older sister and her grandmother are baptized, and shes been coming to church, but never had a desire be be a member. but this changed about 2 weeks ago, and now she is blessed to have the gift of the holy ghost and has entered the gate to making important covenants in the temple.<br /><br /><br />My companion and I are both staying in San Carlos for one more transfer. So well see what these next 5 weeks bring!</span></i>H.

He is reading the book of Mormon and is almost done with 2 Nefi. Crazy cool no?! The ward is helping us transport him (he walks with a cane and needs a ride to church) and I´m personally really grateful for the members here in San Carlos. I don't know if I have already mentioned it, but also our Bishop is awesome and tries really hard to help support us in all that we do!<br />
<br />
We had a good NDH that our relief society organized in which we were able to bring two less actives and a recent converts. We hope that with activties such as these that they will be able to make friends and have support to remain active. We also had another NDH in the house of a recent convert that our elders quorom president organized. We were able to bring a recent convert familiy a less active that is a neighbor. Afterwards the elders quorom preisdent visted the following day at the neighbor with this visiting teachers so were just tickled pink on how the ward is following up and helping us with the people we present in ward council. <br />
<br />
We have a baptism scheduled for this Saturday with a young woman who before received the discussions, but recently had made the decision to be baptized. were now finishing up the discussions and if all goes well shell be able to be baptized this Saturday!<br />
<br />
<br />
Also some fantastic news is that an old less active that we were working with in Collique was sealed to her family last week! My old companion called me to fill me in on the news and WOW I was just so happy! this family has tried 2 times before to be sealed but Satan always put obtsacles in thier way. But yes the third and final time finalllllyyy they succeeded and I am just so happy for them!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
Today is transfers so afterwards well find out if well get changed around or not. I will fill you in this next Monday! hope all is well on the other side of the Equator!!! <br />

<br />
So this week started off with us in my old area of Collique to play carnivals with another zone. it was taking some time so I started a game of mafia with the missionaries while we waited for the supplies to arrive. It was fun to try and explain and tell stories in Spanish, and we when we switched it up to play signs, almost everybody wanted to join in and it was super fun! <br />
<br />
The week was a little hard when Wednesday we found one of our recent converts in a dire situation with her husband. She was unconscionable and we had to leave her weeping in the arms of her sister in law. It sounded like things had ended between the two of them. HOWEVER, two days later we passed by again and they were together! Things were better, and it was really good to hear that they had been reading their scriptures together and were trying to work things out and find solutions. Its was such a 180 from where we left them before that I was personally shocked in a very grateful way. I'm so grateful for this gospel and how it really does help us overcome whatever trial we may have in our way. This couple have a newborn baby and I shared with them that I can't think of anything better that they can do for her, than what they're doing to keep the commandments and have a home with the foundation of Christ and his gospel. It really helps me know what I want for my own family. <br />
<br />
We also had great success this Sunday with our amazing bishop! he was out Saturday with his little 1 year old son in a stroller visiting the members we had mentioned in ward council. we passed by him 2 times while we were walking around for our appointments and it was just so inspiring to see him with his little boy trying to help his ward. Our bishop is really young (under 30) and on Sunday he helped us out a lot with interview with menos activos we brought to his office. part of the process to "rescue" a menos activo is a interview with the bishop. he was running around trying to get everything in order and then dedicated the time to have the interviews and we were ecstatic because we got THREE done, and the interview sometimes is the HARDEST part (coordinating everyone's time, and trying to get the people to have the desire to talk to the bishop). Also, we had a man named Renaildo assit for the first time, and he has a baptism date for the 7th of February. Renaildo had an accident in which both of his legs were broken and now after 5 years of surgery and therapy can walk with a cane, but he came to church, enjoyed it and we are super happy to see his progress. two more attendances of three hours and he can make a covenant with the lord through the waters of baptism!<br />

<br />
I'm so grateful for each and everyone one of you and hope this January is winding up to be a good start of the new year of 2015!!!!!!!!</div>

Pday was cleaning and we went out to eat pollo a la braza yum yum yum. Then on Wednesday we had interviews with the president and a revision of our rooms and how we have progressed with our English and Spanish. Friday we had service in the house of a less active and we helped her clean up the main room and dust off a lot of stuff in her garage. Her parents had recently died and she had inherited their house and it was a big task for her. she was recently operated and was really overwhelmed with all that she had to do but it was fun to have service (finally!!!) and see how proud she was of her house afterwards and see her have the doors and windows open when we walked by later that day (before all the chair and sofas were in front of the main door so she couldnt use it). She has been assisting a different church for quite some time and almost was re baptized again, but were working with her and her doubts to be able to reaffirm her testimony in the Church of Jesus Christ. <br /><br />In our night session of Stake conference we focused a lot on the function of ward council and these new forms that were using for the progress of recent converts and menos activos. It was cool for those who participate in ward council, but I felt a little bad for the youngsters and the menos aticvos we brought that the information went a little over their head. Sunday was super cool, and super full. It's summer here so hot hot hot hot. There is not air conditioning and so the fans were on full blast. As we sat in the back on the stage it made me think of a "to kill a mockingbird" courthouse where were all packed in anxiously listening with our pamphlets as fans fanning ourselves to not faint. Hahha it was fun. I really liked the President Erickson´s talk about how he compared the church of the Zoramites and the church of Jesus Christ. he then said that these two distinct churches can share the same chapel. we have to ask ourselves to which church we belong. Where we go and only listen Sundays and then return to our lives during the week, or do we attend a church were we continually try and apply the teachings and share the gospel with others. He also talked about how Lehi and other prophets were blessed for what they DID. not what they thought, what they attended to do, what they thought, what they said, preached, testified, or shared. But for the Action. what they did. It made me think about what were DOING not just saying. <br /><br />This week we also found a sister of a member that lived in my old area. Were teaching her and it was funny how we found her. We passed by and I thought, where have I seen her before. And once again we passed by and we introduced ourselves and then she told me how she was the sister of Pedro from Collqiue and I was like OOOHHHHH yeaaaa!!!!! we had a lesson last night where we left a book of Mormon so well see how it progresses.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for your continual support over this last year! I hope that the lord blesses you and the missionaries that live in your area and that we can work together to hasten the work!<br /><br />Hermana BowersH.

We didn't get to go to the pools and lazy river, but we were content with the ittty bitty rides they had and the petting zoo. There was a mini supreme scream, bumper cards, roller coaster, and magic carpet ride (its like the swinging boat ride but calmer). Afterwards we went to the animals, I got to touch a monkey and we went on a bird tour and got to almost touch toucans and other parrots! Afterwards we went as a zone to Pizza Raul and my companion got to try the pizza there for the first time! We came back to the room exhausted and we had to turn around and leave to work, but it was a p-day different from the rest and super fun. This p-day is cleaning because we have interviews with the president this week, but well try and find a way to make it fun. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWG06qW1Fa21uU_jK6wgHb5n6klGWCyKzFIW3bNgA4MxR7RE23gvgoJdZ6Yh149nGsEN_DzcSbuZ1-1nuDpw27r9z4L1KvbjRDORHBcqG48MwrYNa-rMtMjdQeZUhGFw2v9GrZLfo8g6M/s1600/bird+up+close.JPG"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWG06qW1Fa21uU_jK6wgHb5n6klGWCyKzFIW3bNgA4MxR7RE23gvgoJdZ6Yh149nGsEN_DzcSbuZ1-1nuDpw27r9z4L1KvbjRDORHBcqG48MwrYNa-rMtMjdQeZUhGFw2v9GrZLfo8g6M/s1600/bird+up+close.JPG" width="320" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyg2_cQJg9cgKJnJhu6YoxpgIg8GFnHS91ZOYZekmH-855KNP4-lHpyzVFve9maAz2zLPWVeP5Kr8kLtONXPMeIB7wRdSvqVm4_Rqb4-VZXmyYKtM9WmPlD0zVIR52f5uZ3nqz25j4l7Z-/s1600/Bird+show.JPG"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyg2_cQJg9cgKJnJhu6YoxpgIg8GFnHS91ZOYZekmH-855KNP4-lHpyzVFve9maAz2zLPWVeP5Kr8kLtONXPMeIB7wRdSvqVm4_Rqb4-VZXmyYKtM9WmPlD0zVIR52f5uZ3nqz25j4l7Z-/s1600/Bird+show.JPG" width="240" /></a><div>

New years we thankfully found people to teach and the day passed quickly. The night before we went to bed at 10:30 and I woke up to the sound of all the fireworks at 12. I was so tired though, that I deemed the better reward sleeping in, so I just rolled over and enjoyed my comfy cama. My companion slept through the whole ruckus and it was funny to hear her talk about the next morning. The night before, the neighbors that live downstairs gave us a plate of chicken, paneton, hot chocolate, and a tamale, all very yummy and delicious. After that the week was a flurry of trying to accomplish all of our goals.</div>

Two children were baptized this week, and will be confirmed this next Sunday. The whole family was here in San Carlos because the grandparents were sealed earlier this week. The family wanted to take advantage of the opportunity and two youth that live in Tagna were baptized. It was a sort of last minute kind of deal, but the service turned out great and the uncle who lives in the united states who was here for only a visit was able to baptize his niece. his off on his way with his wife once again to Utah to finish school and it was really cool to have it all come together and that the family could share this special moment.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I'm so thankful for the gospel and how it helps us to avoid the pitfalls of life and helps us have hope and a positive view of the future. I know that if we keep the commandments that God will protect us, and if we have difficulties there is some lesson that we can learn that can help us become better people!<br /><br />Keep me in your prayers<br />Hermana Bowers<br /><br />PS. For you future missionaries, feel free to send me a email if you have any questions about preparing for the mish! I´ll try and respond the best I can :) <br /><img src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/ui/v1/icons/mail/images/cleardot.gif" /></div>
