Nefi and moroni don't taste to bad...

Dear family and friends,

I promise I didn't spell Nephi Incorrectly, its just how they spell it
in Spanish.  I can actually spell in Spanish unlike English.

Basically this week was a miracle! We have a lot of investigators who
are progressing very well! The only problem is they have a hard time
going to church! So this week we really focused on helping them make
this act of faith. The night before we invited a Spanish family (super
rare because almost every member of our ward is from South America) to
come to church and as we were leaving their house we asked them if
they wanted to have the address. To my surprise their response was,
"if God wants us there he will guide us." So basically I didn't know
what to think about that one. Also we have an investigator who told us
she was going to church but the morning of, her daughter brought over
the grandkids and told her to watch them. So when church started
nobody was there! But right before sacrament the Spanish family walks
in as well as our other investigator! Plus we had an Ecuadorian family
visit the church in another city because they were working there that
day!

This Spanish family that we are teaching is going to open up a
restaurant. So one day while we were teaching them they told us they
really liked the names Moroni and Nefi, so they named their hamburgers
Nefi and Moroni! I promise they are not crazy they are just Spanish.

The lord does work in mysterious ways. I know that the lord blesses
his children! I am thankful to have a wonderful companion who always
wants to work hard and bless the lives of people around him! I
probably have said this a lot but it's something I am still learning
and studying. But we need to act before we receive!

I love you all and am thankful for the opportunity I have to be here.

Love
Elder Owens
