Sfantul Bowen


Hey this was a party week (haha) so listen up!

This week we did a lot of contacting to try and get some new people to teach. We have been dry lately, but we have still been working hard to get more and more people unto Christ. We had a lesson with this guy named Theodore that I met on the street and it went pretty well. He is a young, law student who is a big truth-seeker with huge questions. So we met with him and tried to answer his questions as best as we could. He had deep, meaningful questions about God and Christ and why everything is the way it is. We shared the message of the Restoration with him and gave him a Book of Mormon and promised him that he will receive answers to his questions. The only problem is that he is shaky with prayer and its importance so we pray that he gains a testimony of prayer.

We visited some great members this week, mainly to eat food haha. We visited Daisy again because she cooked us some Filipino food, which was the highlight of the food this week haha. Moral of the story, serve your members and they will serve you ;)

So this week was my birthday and I'm very thankful for all the notes people sent this week. You all are amazing and I am very thankful for each and everyone of you. Keep being the awesome people you are and you will be blessed. So on my birthday I received the most interesting presents probably ever. Some missionaries blessed me with corn haha and then this Orthdox Priest named Alin (who is a great friend of ours) gave me an icoana of I think Jesus. Oh well, it was super cool and I enjoyed it. We then had a really fun time contacting with President Hettinger and he bought me some ice cream which was great and then we had a talent show. Many fun acts and many fun times. We really had a fun time partying and having a good time.






Work hard, play hard as people say. Don't stop working hard, but don't forget to enjoy life and the many great things you have been given. I love you all and have a great week!

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 ...

Dust of a Joke

Hey everyone, it was a pretty interesting week for me over here! First off, thank you all for the birthday wishes! Entering a new decade is weird but it's going to be a fun one! It was definitely a wild week for us here in Pitesti. We had a really good start to the week with meeting with Dragos and Zone Conference, but something happened in the middle of the week that caused the good start to end roughly. Dragos stopped responding to calls and texts, even though he was reading them just fine. In the end, he didn't get baptized and didn't come to church. But we might have some hope because he texted this morning saying that he was in the hospital again and didn't have access to his telephone. Apparently his mother had his phone the entire time he was in the hospital. We're not 100% sure if that's the truth so we are going to try and meet with him and figure out what's going on. It's kinda sad but we are working hard to try and get him back. But at the...
