#47: Beautiful View From Las Barrancas del Cobre (Copper Canyon)

I really enjoyed the great email you sent me this week about the fun times in Vegas!  How exciting for everyone that was able to make it to Stephanie's wedding! :)  Looks like everybody had lots of fun! (This past week-when Elder's Fowler's family was in Las Vegas, we met up with Sister Linda Ashworth, who is the mother of Elder Fowler's zone leader, Elder Ashworth.  It was fun to meet someone who has a son in the same mission)

I have quite a few pictures from this week because I went with my district leader, Elder Sullivan to a pueblo called, San Rafael.  On the way, we stopped at a place called Las Barrancas del Cobre, or in English, "Copper Canyon"!   I loved it there!  I guess that it is the deepest canyon in the world! I took some sweet pictures that I think everyone will want to see!  In San Rafael, we confirmed 4 kids from earlier that week.  It was such a great time, except the bus ride was almost 4 hours long!! haha  But the pictures and the view made it all worth it! :) You need to change my profile on FB to one of these photos. I like the one with my back to the camera with arms open.

Pepe wasn't baptized this week but while I was gone from my area, Elder Herrera baptized a young girl, so for the month of may, to reach our zone goal of 40...I think we have 30 thus far! :)

Love Always,
Elder Fowler

This week's scripture to "Ponderize" is:
D&C 18:15-16

15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
 16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many soulsunto me!
