Deja Vu




Hey everyone this week was a really fun week with some big things going on. Listen up!





So the first big news is that I will be leaving Bucuresti after one transfer once again. Sad day, but I will be going to another great city called Timisoara. It's a city in the west and I've heard it is absolutely beautiful! I'll be with Elder Atkinson once again so that'll be really fun. I'll be leaving again, but I know that the Lord has a plan for me so this will be a really fun transfer nonetheless.


We had a good lesson this week with a guy named Alex that we met the week before. He has problems and wants peace in his life so we felt like teaching him the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how following Jesus Christ will help us feel happiness and peace in our troubled lives. We committed him to read and pray about the Book of Mormon and he already started reading which is super cool! He came to church and he said he really enjoyed it which is super awesome! Even though I'm leaving, he should be in good hands for the future.

We also were blessed to see the 5th baptism here in Bucuresti in 7 weeks and that was super awesome! We had our man Theodore come and he said he liked it. He had questions of course but we discussed everything and I took the opportunity to teach him more and more to help his understanding grow. That was a great experience and I hope that he continues to search for understanding and truth.




This transfer was a huge blessing for me and I feel energized and ready for this next transfer in Timisoara. The Lord has a plan for each of us and he wants us to be happy, even if we go through hard times. A fellow missionary out here told me to improve everyday, no matter what. It doesn't matter who you are and what you do because we all have flaws and we all have the need of improvement. Keep working hard to improve the little things so you can do the big things. Never ever give up!! I love you all and I wish for only the best for you all! Rock the world!!!!





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
