I tend to just say "it's been a good week" at the beginning of every
email! But It's true so I guess it's all good.
We just finished watching a Holy Week parade here in Malaga! I won't
lie they are super cool but they freak me out a bit! I will attach
some pics so you can understand what I'm talking about!
This week we had changes with Elder Bushman and Elder Rich here in
Malaga! It went pretty well! I went with Elder Rich and we just
basically talked with everyone! We also got the chance to teach a
Nigerian woman named Ester and show her the new Easter Video.
This Friday we went down to the other church here in Malaga to a
missionary conference that we have every transfer. This transfer we
have been focusing a lot on the importance of receiving revelation by
reading the Book of Mormon, praying, and attending church. I'm sure
it's hard to believe that over 70 missionaries were counseling
together for 4 hours talking about these simple primary principles.
But I can assure you that I learned a lot more that I ever thought
posible.
Something that really stuck out to me was when our mission president
spoke to us on why we pray, why we read the Book of Mormon, and why we
go to church. After the many memories passing through my head of the
times I invited someone to do these things and even when I did them
myself, President Anderson helped us understand that we should do
these things to come to know Jesus Christ. Do I read the Book of
Mormon, go to church and pray with the end in mind to come to know
Jesus Christ better? Do I help the people I teach to know that this is
the reason they should also be doing these things? Well I definitely
had some repenting to do!! I hope we all can have this goal in mind as
we do these things!
I love you all,
Elder Owens
