Week 9

Another short letter this week. sorrry, im sure skimming through broken english is the highlight of the week. lol


So this week Jorge Ovispo was baptised.... But not confirmed. so thats interesting hah. and so he has to get confirmed soon, or his baptism is not valid. which is sad cause he really loves the church. He is just really chill about things.


Some funny things this week
A little kid started touching my arm and said what happened? i was like thats call hair buddy, he said no the stuff on your skin(freckles) do you have zika? nope, just my skin thanks. Its just what happens to greengos.


Oh so my companion is interesting. hah, we had to get to this house to present ourselves, say hello and all that. And the only way to get down was bak the way we came or down theres rocks with little holds carved into them. So of course i went to more fun way, and so did he. but he thought it was very dangerous and was super nervous. wish i got a picture for yall. think about new born bambi hiking. oh baby, classic.


So theres this dirty hippie here, who, every time i see him hes picking up garbage. and he has like 5 huge bags that he lugs around. Super cool dude, ill get a picture. i aspire to be more like him,. joking nut really a guy i wanna be like is my stake pres. here. hes a cool dude. theres this cornor that drunks hang out by and i stay away. They always try to yell at me and our rude. and agresive and i hate agresive people, so i just think that i would rather not. but guess who i see of there with them? the stake pres. and hes inviting them to church. and is actually friends with them, cool dude. so i think we, especiallly me, could swallow our pride and talk to people and love them. cool lesson to be learned.


Love yall

Week 8

Firstly. Im gonna start with my thoughts of the wek. So everything/everyone is short here. the baptismial font is way shorter than the one in the states. And ill do a lot of baptisms beccause im the only one they trust to get the bigger people in the water lol. People here know a little english and love to make joke and be rude about m ebeing from texas. the drunks always wanna yell at me about trump. ugh.,


So i dont have time, but i had a cool expirence this week. we had a refenence to teach this lady clear out in the boonies, in Iberia, part of the mish. We hike up to get to her house and we walk through a metal fence and it was her door. we walk in and theres her house. so she invites us in and gives us some chairs to sit in.She has dirt floors and the chair she gave me was a red plastic lawn chair. She doesnt have a job or a husband, but she has 4 kids. they cook with a fire. like a campfire. and she really loves the church. As i was sitting there i realized, nothing that i have really matters. Like physical things, have no worth. Obviously there are things i like. i mean like a bed. but, people live with out it. Cool lady, good soul. He kids are suoer happy too. My dad always told me expirence s worth a lot more than things. Its true. haha
I love the mish. Its good stuff. Love you guys a lot.

Week 7

Well hello. I have had a week. Its been nice, working hard. serving people. I helped paint a house for a lady. Shout out to my mom for teaching me how to paint a wall.. thanks. But, really. this week had been fantastic.


I got to baptize somebody this week. The first time ever. It was the sisters investagador. Her name was Katherine. and I was super nervous. and it was funny cause when i went to put her in the water she was stiff as a board. so she like didnt move at all and it was just funny. But, the sisters also had another investagador there named Jose. He is deathly afraid of water, so baptizing him will probably be similar. haha


So my weeks been pretty normal. Hiking, teaching about the gosepl you know. the usual. I joked last week about parasitos. But, now im pretty sure i have one haha. So thats cool. Im always hungery though. So yeah. A random lady in the street hugged me and I just froze, missionaries are not supposed to hug ladies, and i said im a missionary a couple times and. Ill just say i have never felt more awkward in my life. oh, and i killed 19 cucarachas. Like 10 today while cleaning my kitchen.


LOve Yall!!

Week 6

Hey everybody! Hows it going? I am in honduras now. I love it here, im on the outskirts of the city in tegucigalpa. My companions name is Elder tomala. Well, i am offically a honduran. I live in a thid world country in a little apartment with cocroaches you could put a saddle on it. The power lines hang so low here they hit the top of the Hondurans heads and the middle of my chest. Oh, and the people here speak spanish kinda like how jamacians speak ingles. Its like im learning a whole new spanish.


Well, all i do all day is hike to houses on mountians and preach the gospel. Its a good life to live. I never cook for myself cause members of the church always have food for the elders. And a lot of it haha. In the mtc a lady told me dont eat the food if its pork or fish or you didnt see them prepare it, or youll get sick and die. Well, I eat all the food they give me cause its super good. And i dont think im dead yet. (I might have a few parasites lol)


Well. I have a ton of investagators and they all are needing the gospel. Yesterday we had two come to church. It was interesting though. We called all of them (we had about 9 invited i think) and none were there at the start. So we went out and walked up some mountians to find them. My Dad always told me to go find "the one." the person out on their own, the person with nobody else. Its like how if Jesus was a shepard and we were the sheep. If 1 of us got lost he would leave the rest to go get the one who was lost. And thats what we were doing. So we get to a house of an investagator and were knocking on his door and no answer. For like 10 minutes were there. Cause right now none of our investagators are at church. So with defeat. we go back to church, and whos there? Hermano Seline Our investagator. with a recent convert Jordy. Cool stuff.


Well, Thats pretty much it. Ive killed 5 cucarachas.


Love Elder Owen

Safe and Sound In Honduras

Dear Family Owen and church leaders:

This morning Elder Owen arrived to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. We, the secretaries of the mission, President Ferman, mission President, Hermana Ferman, His wife, were there to welcome him warmly.

He is totally fine, he is so happy and ready to get into the mission field. We are so happy as well, for having him serving in this mission.

Thank You so much! Have a nice day!

Week 5

Hey yall. well, this is offically my last week in the CCM. Time flies when youre having fun... or when your super busy trying to learn a new language in six weeks. haha, i am super excited to leave here. Dont get me wrong ive loved being here, but im very ready to be in the real world!


So this week, i didnt do much. well, i did a lot, but nothing out of the ordinary. I tried to give out more copies of the book of mormon. But it didnt work too well, i met a man who is catholic and doesnt like the church because he said that he believes that God is dead. He said that he would like more information about the churchand we asked him for his phone number, but he didnt know how to write and got on a bus. And another man who kindly listened to a brief lesson about the resturation, but didnt want the book of mormon so he gave it back to us.


So we got a ton of new white people here, I i wasnt too fond of them at first, because their a bunch of hicks. But, ive met some really cool guys, and glad i got to know them. I guess you shouldnt really judge a book by its cover!


Um, i have finally gone to buy a spanish book of mormon and a hymn book and preach my gospel today. so thats neat.. Well thats about it, I appreaciate yalls support and love.


With love,


Elder Owen
