Brennan was looking fore ward to attending the temple today in San Antonio. Needs to invest in some new scriptures. Just passed his 1 yr mark this week. Loving the mission and working hard. So grateful he has opportunity to use his Spanish in this area. He has found quite a few contacts and hopefully some baptisms come out of them. 13 investigators to church last Sunday.

Transfers are a way of mission life....now back to San Antonio new comp and new town. It is always sad to leave those you have learned to love and serve. New comp is Elder Colunga, he is awesome and we get along very well. We have been working with a man named Authur. He is the funniest man ever. We have been working with him to help him stop smoking. Here's a few hints: put the tobacco in a cup of water and drink it you can't stop puking. Next dip the lighten end in a cup of milk and throw away the rest of the pack and you'll cough up a lung. It has worked for Authur! so far
Grateful for family it is so easy to take them for granted no longer Love to them all!

Pray always!

Great week! This is the last week in Georgetown, moving Thursday Feb 5 the day before my 20th birthday. My companion is struggling and maybe leaving the miss.

My retainer got broken and so today pday I am getting a new one. I need a good smile.

The Ludwicks are leaving to play some baseball, but good news Ryan is going to meet with the missionaries in St Louis. He is going to get baptized I know it, so cool to see him grow and progress over the past few weeks.

The church is true and the gospel is blessing the lives of so many here and hopefully others we find.

Sweet week!

We have a awesome lady in the area. She recently had a baby and wanted it blessed. Just so happens that she is married to Ryan Ludwig( yea the baseball player). They are great people we are teaching him. When they had the blessing we are sitting in church and Albert Pujols and his son came to support his team mate. I was so excited! I shook his hand and visited with him for a while. Way cool experience. We are enjoying the Ludwigs. They rock!!

Go Texas

I am having great spiritual experiences ...the church is true!

Brennan is looking foreward to the Holidays. He met his mothers cousin Rex and wife Diane in church meeting. What a small world. They were so nice to him and gave him a touch of home in Parowan.

He decided to take a short cut through a mall and got a $200 ticket......Merry Christmas Texas driving laws are a little bit different thatn Utah traffic laws. Sad way to learn.

Jesus is the reason for the season....Merry Christmas everyone

Brennan has already heard about the BYU Utah game, I guess good news travels fast!
Utah will get a big bowl game he is stoked. Elder Rowley is going to a game on Friday with Autin Huntsman, the stake Presidents son. Elder Rowley is missing Parowan High school basketball and wants to hear about the Jazz.
He had a baptism on the 15th and hopefully will have 2 more in the next 2 weeks. The work in Texas is going good. He and his companion have been invited to 3 dinners on Thanksgiving Day, he is thankful for good people willing to share their dinner and time with the missionaries.
Thanks for all the love and support!
Love Elder Rowley
