Fun times in Sevilla

Dear family and friends,

We are having a great time here in Sevilla! We are on our way to
Malaga right now and will be back tomorrow! So I apologize for the
wimpy email... just kind of like all my emails...

We had some fun adventures this week! We were sitting down looking up
some directions on my companion's iPad and out of nowhere a man come
running by and swipes the iPad out of my companion's hands. We didn't
feel like losing the iPad so we started chasing him. The man wasn't
following the word of wisdom so we quickly got to him, got ahold of his
jacket and ripped it off his back. He freaked out and dropped the iPad
and took out a knife because he thought we were going to beat the snot
out of him. So we got the iPad and got out. Haha some people are not
that smart here in Sevilla! We will be more careful with our iPads
from now on.

We have been trying to help the ward a lot this week! We cut out snow
flakes and and we are going to put them on the doors of the members.
There is nothing more important than a unified ward! Hopefully the
Christmas spirit will help us be better missionaries for the lord!

At times, back at home, I didn't take advantage of the great
organization of the church where I lived. Now that I serve in wards
with such few members, I really understand the importance of the
church. We need a place to go where we can feel the love of others to
build us up with the good word of God. It's so important that we truly
and genuinely help the great family we have in our wards. I love the
church and the goodness that comes from it. I wish you all the best of
luck!

Love,
Elder Owens
