Week 102 June 28, 2008

Family,

Hey I’m really glad to hear that you’re all well. This last week was a very busy week but full of amazing experiences that I’ll never forget. We had 4 conferences this week with the whole mission divided in different cities. We had a guy named Elder Newman and his wife that came to talk to us all too. They’re in charge of the health of the missions in Brazil and they traveled in the car with us. Me and my companion Elder M. Lopes traveled with Pres and Sister Myrrha and Elder and Sister Newman. We sang hymns and talked a lot. Pres Myrrha was driving like a mad man. He drives sooo fast and was passing everyone on the freeway.

We had some really amazing privileges like we were able to sleep in the best hotel in the mission one night. Me and my companion had our own apartment. Also we were able to eat at nice restaurants a couple of nights, one of them was in Uruguay and was really really good.

During the Zone Conferences, me and Elder M. Lopes had a training that we gave and it was a lot of fun. I wasn’t nervous at all and the missionaries seemed to like it. We talked about the importance of using the scriptures in a clear form that our investigators will understand. We had a little movie clip that we passed and we invited some missionaries to come up and do a demonstration for us.

Pres Myrrha gave an incredible message and I was really glad to be able to hear it four times. I’ll tell you about it when I get home. I won’t have enough time to write about it to you.

Well at this point in the transfer, the hard stuff is done. All the trainings, and meetings and stuff are done so now we just divide with some of the Zone Leaders in the other cities.

Oh, I have to tell you about the best thing that happened this week. We had one of the Zone conferences in Livrament so Elton and Eliara came by with Carla their 9 year old daughter and they gave me some letters, and some sweets that Eliara made. It was sooooo nice to see them. Carla ran up to me and gave me a big hug.

Elder Santiago, my companion a couple of transfers ago in Livramento, was there too and we got permission from the President to leave and go visit some of the members in our old area. It was so awesome to be with Elder Santiago and relive the old times there.
I hope that you all have a wonderful week! I love you and will talk to you later!

Oh and tell Chris and Mitchell hi for me when they give their homecoming talks.

I love you infinity!!!
Elder Fowler
