"Even if you have a goalkeeper, doesn't mean you can't score"

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

With Every Hardship, There is Ease

Hey everyone, this was a pretty fun week for us! First off, crazy awesome miracle!!! So for the past couple weeks, we haven't been able to get in contact with our good friend Dragoș. But we found him on the street and we invited him to church and the most amazing thing happened. He told us that these past weeks he had been in the hospital because of something with his head. But while in the hospital, he had a dream with an angelic person telling him that he needed to be baptized in the church of Jesus Christ. So on Sunday he told us he wants to be baptized as soon as possible, which leads to us having a baptismal date with him for the 3rd of August. God works in marvelous ways because he truly loves us. Another cool miracle this week was our friend Amber. She's from China and is doing volunteer work here in Romania. This week we started teaching her Romanian/Gospel and its been really great! She also loves the piano so she played the piano for us at church! She loved ch...

Stand Ye in Holy Places

Hey everyone!!! So this was a really big week and a good amount of things went down, but I don't have all the time to talk about them, so I'll just give you all the basics! Bowen and Hoisington in the street! So the highlight and downfall of this week was when we set a baptismal date with Felix for about 24 hours. So we met up with him this week and we had a lesson about the Plan of Salvation. We had Fratele Matei with us and he was a big help for us because he loves this lesson. So we teach and it went really well and we set a date for August 18th! We were happy, Matei was happy, it was great. But we were talking with him at night and he said he no longer had any faith. So naturally, we meet up with him again and it was an interesting meeting. Essentially he is looking for historical evidence that the Book of Mormon is true and he doesn't have that evidence that it is true. So, we dropped his date and we won't be meeting with him anymore until he starts having ...

El Ultimo, Sfârşitul, My Final Curtain

Hello all you people! For those playing at home, this is my final email that I will send as a missionary. So this email will definitely be a good one! We had a solid week here in Pitesti. We had a really good lesson with Tata Sandu where we read from Alma 7, which testifies of Jesus Christ and the importance of faith and repentance and being baptized. His health keeps him from coming to church, but he really is interested and wants to hear our message. It seems that right when we arrive, he wants to read from the Book of Mormon, which is a sign of eagerness to learn and feast upon the words of Christ. Hopefully Elder Rawhouser can continue to help his desire grow and maybe help him enter the waters of baptism. We made it a priority this week to work with members, especially to strenghten up Mihai the recent convert. This week we focused on temples on watched some videos on what goes on in the temple and what all of it means. He liked it and now we want that to be his goal to go...
