Hey guys this was a party week!!!!!

Tuesday was a pretty good day. We did some early morning contacting and that went pretty well! We managed to get a few numbers to start off the week really well! But then we had to wait for a package for Elder Solov'iov's visa and that took forever. The package actually didn't even come so we had spent all that time for nothing really.

Wednesday we had a chill day waiting for the package again and it didn't come once again so that got really annoying. We also traveled to Bucuresti because Elder Solov'iov needed to have a medical appointment for his visa and no medical place here in Pitesti did them. So we traveled to Bucuresti and that was fun!
 
Pigeon racing!

Thursday was the medical appointment day and that was quick and easy so we then went back home to Pitesti. We then spent a 3rd day waiting for this package and surprise surprise, it didn't come again. But we finished the night with English class and that went okay. The students were very rowdy and were just all over the place and it's hard to control Romanians when they don't speak English and you don't speak Romanian fluently. But we managed to have a good class and get things done!

Friday was a super great day!! We had sports night and we played some sick basketball. We played with our investigator Mihai and his friends and they were really cool people. There was actually one guy named Alex who was really awesome. We played basketball and he was super impressed by my American basketball skills haha. but we talked a good amount and got to know each other and he actually started asking questions about why I was in Romania, if I like it here, what's my purpose, etc. So that was a really cool experience and we hope that we can meet up with him this next week and bring to BAPTISM!!

Saturday was a chill day. We went to get the package for Elder Solov'iov and that was super great to not worry about that anymore haha. We then had a really good games night with a good amount of investigators. It was a pretty great way to end the night!

Sunday was a good solid day. We had church and our investigator Mihai came and it was his 3rd time at church so he is really looking to be ready for baptism on May 12th. We hope he continues to grow and progress and be prepared for his date. We also we lucky to see the Hettingers as they were passing through Pitesti on their way back home. They are so pumped for us and the work that is going on in Pitesti. We hope we can continue that fire that we started.

I hope everyone has a great week this coming week. Don't forget that God loves you and that He has given many things to show His love, like the Atonement, Jesus Christ, families, etc. Never forget of that love and admiration God has for you. Now show that you love Him! I love you all and miss you all and I hope for the best for everyone! 

Va iubesc,
Elder Bowen

Snagov: Betcha never heard of that before

Hello everybody! Another hard working week in Bucuresti!!!! Bucuresti Zone Elders Tuesday was a solid day because it was Zone Conference! Of course it was in Bucuresti and we had quite a good time. We focused a lot on using members more in our missionary work. The motto of the conference was MEMBER IT and we got pretty hyped about everything. It was cool to see everyone as well and see how everyone is doing. Elder Thomson and Bowen the old Pitesti crew Wednesday we had a full day of contacting and lessons and it went pretty well. We had 2 big lessons with our men Felix and Florian. The first one with Felix was pretty darn good. We had a member named Fratele Matei with us and we gave a pretty scattered Restoration lesson for the most part. But it was really good because it helped Felix get comfortable with Matei and it should start a great friendship between the 2 of them. Our second lesson with Florian was also pretty good. It was really quick and simple because we

Celebration!!

Sweater Weather! HEYY everyone! This week was a week to celebrate about so listen up!!! Tuesday was the highlight of the week for sure!! We had a lesson with this man named Gelu and it was super awesome! When I was with Elder Dixon, we met this man on the street and taught him the Restoration. He loved it and accepted a baptismal invitation. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get in contact with him afterwards and we dropped him sadly. BUT, he called us this week and said he was super sorry for the lack of communication and he told us he really wanted to change his life for the better. So we decided to meet up and taught him the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And the lesson was absolutely amazing!! He loved it, we felt the Spirit, and we felt it was right to extend an invitation for baptism. Gelu will be baptized on February 24th in Galati and we are so pumped and excited for him. We even called President Hettinger and told him the news and he was just as pumped. It was really an

HammocKings! Hey guys this was a crazy week on so many levels!!!! Tuesday was a pretty packed day. We had 3 lessons with 3 investigators and they all went well. Our first was with Mihai and we helped him try and get back on that path towards baptism. He's been kinda flaky and this lesson was to really help him get back on track. We then had a lesson with Victoria and this was one of the highlights. We taught her about the Restoration and reestablished those expectations that we have for her. Turns out she has read from the Book of Mormon and is starting to see the similarities of the Bible and the Book of Mormon. She is starting to really progress and only big things are going to happen. We then taught Catalin a little about faith. This is what we really want to focus with him if he is ever going to progress any time soon. Overall, it was a bomb day! Am I real? Wednesday we had a slightly worse day as we only had 2 lessons to teach. The first was with Mihai ag
