Merry Dunkmas!!

 Merry Dunkmas everyone! Aka we got someone on date for baptism! Her name is Debra and she is an angel. Watching her grow closer to her Savior has been incredible to watch. As a missionary we have the coolest opportunity to watch the atonement work firsthand. I love it! Lately as you all probably know I have been having some struggles mentally of why Heavenly Father called me on a mission. And I used to think that He only called the ones who know the scriptures but most definitely not. He calls the ones who have been through the atonement. Who have had to experience it for themselves. I know this gospel is so true!! We are so  blessed to know our Savior, to have the restored gospel, and to be given the atonement. Because Heaven knows we ain't perfect nor are we going to be. I would like you all to study about the atonement and see what you learn. Remember what you feel as you do so! Love you all!

Spanish English speaking quarantined missionary

 Howdy fellers from the weekly special of Hermana Bowers. (The spanish/ english speaking quarantined missionary).

I can't believe it's Monday again all ready. What a crazy week this has been! There have been some really great days and some really hard days. But that's what makes a mission or just life in general. 

This week we had a lesson with a member from our ward here in White Rock who is the absolute best. The spirit was so strong we read over the talk "Our Divinity Within". If you haven't read it go read it again. Then after you read it read your patriarchal blessing. SO COOL!!

We had a lesson with Maribel a girl we are teaching who is the absolute sweetest. Truly love her so much and I haven't ever met her in person. We talked about the Plan of Salvation and the spirit was so strong. Oh my gosh!! I have to keep reminding myself that is the reason why I am our here.

Yesterday we had a Bible study with a guy who is from Tennessee so that was so cool! 

I have gotten back into my doodling mode that I started at college and I've had a lot of time to do that! And I got my companion addicted so that's been awesome to see her discover a new talent.

Transfer News is this Wednesday!!

Thank you all for your love and supportive! Hna. Bowers

You are doing better than you think you are!!

 Hello everyone! How are you all? It is very warm here in New Mexico right now. They say in my area this is the hottest month all summer. We are making it through! This week has been a little crazy we have been teaching on zoom like crazy whether it's with members or inactives or non members. We are doing our very best to teach while in doors. This week I finished the Book of Mormon!! Wahoo! Now I've started reading it again in english and in spanish to hopefully keep some of my spanish. Being back out has been a bit if a challenge but I am pushing through. I am learning many lessons.

1. Gods plan and timing is perfect.

2. Idk why I've been asked to do things but I do them anyway 

3. You can give your all in everything

4. The only thing I've been asked to give is my best

I am still learning these many lessons but pushing through the trial. This week we were teaching this member who's kids had gone camping with her husband so she finally had time for us. But I've never had the spirit guide me so strong to change the subject and just tell her that she is doing amazing as a mom. 

This is another lesson I am learning for myself. YOU ARE DOING BETTER THAN YOU THINK YOU ARE! Keep going in all your trials. He is with you. He is walking with you. Talk to him about everything! He wants to hear you! I love you all and miss you dearly! With digital hugs Hermana Bowers!

       Hello everyone I am back on the weekly emails. I am in White Rock, New Mexico. My companions are Sister Butts and Sister Harris. Sister Butts is from Utah and Sister Harris is from the area where I am serving. Sister Harris is leaving us on Tuesday for Michigan to go to her actual mission. I am not going to lie it is very difficult adjusting to missionary life style again. But I have already learned so much. I was having a really hard day one morning and we were doing personal study and i don't think I have ever prayed so hard that Heavenly Father would answer my prayer to help me gain peace. After I prayed I opened up my scriptures and I came upon a scripture when the savior is talking. He says TRUST IN ME. I know all things. Wow that hit me like a ton of bricks. I know that I am supposed to be here for what reason i don't know. I understand how hard it is to trust in the Lord and know that everything will be okay. I am so thankful for my savior that I can have someone to feel everything I feel. I love and miss all of you dearly. Thank you for your support. btw I am speaking english not Spanish right now:(
