Hello my beautiful family and friends,
It's another great day in Fuengirola. We are here in Malaga right now celebrating Halloween with the other missionaries. We carved pumpkins, played some football and ate rotisserie chicken.
I would have to say this week has been a very... umm fun... we will go with that. When you teach people the gospel you naturally create a love for the person and when they tell you they don't want to continue in this path of happiness and peace it breaks your heart. Unfortunately there were a lot of people this week who did exactly that. I felt just a tiny bit like our father in Heaven feels when we decided to stray from the path that His perfect son has provided. He weeps when we are disobedient because we are separating ourselves from Him.
We have had a lot of opportunities to meet a lot of amazing people. A lot of people we are working with are face to face with the decision to act with faith or stay still, and rot! We need to act with faith always! Because when we do we will be happy.
I sit here and think what I could say that would bless the people that read my emails... But there is not much more I could say than what Jesus said to all of us... "If you love me, keep my commandments". I know if we do just that, all will be good in the end. All will be well. Keep fighting, keep believing!
I love you all I hope you have a great Halloween! Be safe!
Love,
Elder Owens
