Life Changer, Miracle Arranger

Hey everyone, I hope you had a great week because Pitesti did!

This was a good week that was capped off by a great baptism. It may have been a sketch baptism with tape all around the font, but nonetheless, Mihai was baptized and that was the highlight of the week! It was great to see Mihai enter into the waters of baptism and to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost and to truly see him come a long way. He has great desires to do good and help people. But he has a long ways to go in his progression and that is why we are going to work super hard to strengthen him and continue to teach him the doctrines found in Preach My Gospel. We talked to him about the priesthood and helped him understand what will happen and what his role will be with the priesthood. He's actually pretty excited to start passing the sacrament/blessing the sacrament which is great. But he will definitely be a work in progress as there are so many things to help him with, but he's ready for the step by step progress.


We have also been working still with Dragos and he's continually making time and effort to read from the scriptures and to come to church, even if he doesn't have the time to do so. This last week he had to leave pretty early from church, but he came long enough for the sacrament and then left, which shows his desire to come to church, even when it's hard. We're looking to start teaching the commandments and helping him prepare for his baptism on the 13th.

Jesus Christ is a life changer and a miracle arranger. I don't think any of these miracles would ever happen to us if Christ wasn't our Savior. It's a good feeling to know God truly loves us and wants us to succeed, so He gave us His only begotten son, Jesus Christ. What a great feeling and I am grateful for that. I hope you all have a great week and loves to you all!

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 DragoČ™. 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 ...

Week 3 in the books!

HEYYYYY YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS???? It is email time!!!!!!!!! This week was full of entertainment and I have a lot to tell you so listen up! Sunday was another great day in the MTC! The talks in our sacrament meeting were focused around the Holy Ghost which really brought the spirit to the meeting. We also got the opportunity to watch a talk by Elder Bednar called "Recognizing the Spirit". I learned really one big thing from that talk and it was to QUIT WORRYING ABOUT IT!!!! If you are given a prompting and it tells you to do something good, then do it. It is the Holy Ghost working among you and you should not doubt that fact. I really loved how even though that talk was years in the past, it stills applies to today! I was also called to be Zone Leader of my entire Zone , which freaks me out cause I am the youngest elder out of all of them but I feel blessed to be put in that position. My zone is gonna rock!!  (A zone is a group of missionary districts, and districts ar...
