Dear Mom and Dad:
My new companion is Elder
Asey. He is from Utah in a city called Roosevelt.
Then a year before his mission he lived in Billings Montana. Elder Asey
is 4 months into the mission and he is a visa waiter going to New
Zealand. Right now with the new year, New Zealand changed the visa requirements so
no one from any religion has been able to get in. So I hope New Zealand
will allow the missionaries back in soon. We’ll see what happens.
Elder Asey has served in Hunington Beach, Long Beach ( the somoan wards) and
now here in Whittier. So everything is going good. I like him. The ward loves the missionaries and we get
fed well, very well. There was one dinner appointment in Whittier we walk
in and the table is long and good size the minute we walk there the whole table
was full of food. I was like, are we going to eat all this food? It was a lot of food-- man we ate a lot that
day. whoo. This week me and Elder Asey got dropped by an
investigator and he said he is not interested. He was this close to
having a tour of the church building he said the reason he is not interested is
his wife. They are Catholic and his wife was getting mad for us coming
and teaching him. He wants to make his wife happy and not teach him.
Sad right and he really respects us for what we do and enjoyed hearing the
meassage. He said we can talk to him but not about religion. Dang I
can't believe Colton is home from his mission.
I know it does really go by that fast. Too fast sometimes ha
ha.
Yea the church owns the
mall --they bought it like 10 years ago and the big two towers that you saw up
there those are owned by the church and they also own KSL tv station. They have a lot of church buildings, temples,
all the cars they buy for missionaries. Yeah the church is awesome. We have a lot of money and nonmembers don't
realize it. They think we are another church owned by someone else, nope
it is all owned by us. How is it possible? It is an Ancient law
that we follow. It is Tithing.
Everyone knows the church. I heard this
from missionaries that we drive toryota Corolla cars but the BMW companies went
to talk to the church saying that we will sell our BMW cars cheaper than the
toyota Corollas. Man but the church was very smart and said no.
Good choice-- Missionaries should not be driving BMW’s around. We would
just brag about it and that would be hard for people to join. Missionaries
drive Toyota, Mazda, Malibu and Ford Fusion cars. Those are the 4 main
ones.
Yes this is what I
love about the church. If the people really want to know about Christ’s Church
all they have to do is read the Book of Mormon and pray and ask God if it is
true -- it is that simple. I love this church and gospel. No experiences this week. Sorry, I was just really excited for a new
companion.
Thank you Mom and Dad --
I love You. Love Elder Bowles
