Happy Father's Day

Dear family and friends,

As always it has been a pretty busy week. We went down to Fuengirola
to give a training for the new trainers. It went pretty well. I talked
about the importance of being yoked equally with our companions. In
the beginning chapters of Alma it shares the story of Alma and Amulek
preaching to the people. Sometimes we forget the difference of these
two great men. Alma was the high priest and prophet over all the land,
while on the other hand Amulek was a less active member of the church.
But it is important to note that Amulek was the key to the salvation
of many people. Alma had already attempted but failed alone, but the
testimony of Amulek along with Alma's was the key to their success.

I am so handful for my companion and his example for me. It makes me
happy to know that I leave my apartment along side my best friend to
share the gospel.

Speaking of companions, one of the greatest companionships I know is
my mother and father. I am so thankful for my father and his
understanding of being equally yoked with my mother. He is a great man
and is one of my greatest examples.

We are here in Fuengirola for some missionary training so
unfortunately the letter is a little short. But I love you all and
hope you have a good week!

Love,
Elder Owens
