#96: A Missionary Momma's Countdown

Hey!
  I really liked this week's update from you!  Brooke sent me a ton of videos from this week when you guys were there on the farm!

  (I talked to him about writing in his journal)
I'm really bad at my journal now to be honest!  But I told myself that I will finish the mission writing in it! :)  It's because I'm super tired at the end of the day that I just wanna lay down and sleep! haha
I will be sending videos from this week!  We bought some boxing gloves and had a couple rounds! hahaha  (The video file was too big and he wasn't able to send them)

Thanks for the update on Steph (His friend, Stephanie Lyons just received her mission call to Illinois Chicago West Mission-Spanish speaking) I didn't get an email from her, but thanks for telling me the news!  Huge, fat bummer though that I won't see her for 3 ½ years!!!  That sucks big time!! But that's so cook that all of us will be Spanish speaking! :)

The work in my area is slow, slow going.  I hate not seeing success on Sunday when we don't bring investigators to church, but this week, that's gonna change!!  Can you believe that in 2 weeks, we get to video chat!! :)  We were on divisions and my companion found some members that said we could do our video chat there at their house! :)

(His dad asked him what he would like to eat his first night back in Reno?)
I was thinking.....IN-N-OUT!!! hahahahaha  Brecken needs to tell Elia to work that night so I can see him too! :)

Love your son,
Elder Fowler

This week's scripture to "Ponderize" is:
2 Nephi  4:15

And upon these I write the things of my soul, and many of the scriptures which are engraven upon the plates of brass. For my soul delighteth in the scriptures, and my heart pondereth them, and writeth them for the learningand the profit of my children.
(I saw this idea on Missionary Mommas FB page-
It's a count down with chocolate covered cinnamon bears.
Eat one a day to count down how many days until Elder Fowler returns)
Preston's response to the picture:
"Do you know how many days I have left??  If so.... DON'T tell me!!!haha
I don't want to start counting!!
