Happy New Year 2012

Happy new year!

2012 is already here! I still cant figure out what happened to Last Month it went too quickly :)

I really enjoyed Skyping with you all on Christmas! it was a lot of fun to see you.  You all look so good and things seem like they are going well.  I can see all of the blessings of the Lord in our Family.  Serving my mission has shown me all that I have been blessed with.  There are so many people who are living below their potential who could be so much happier if they would live the principles and participate in the ordinances of the Gospel. 

As I'm sure you guessed from the lack of my emails, things have been pretty busy with the new year:)

Transfers are next week and we have recently finished determining the assignments for the next 6 weeks.  It is a very inspired process.  We get to pray and seek inspiration on where people should serve and who they should serve with.  I have learned so much from being around President Greer on a more regular basis.  Elder Williams and I are working hard to make sure that everything goes smoothly this next week. 

I wanted to share some pictures from our recent trips across the WKM
           The Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks, Oregon
                  Overlooking the Gorge From Goldendale, WA
          The Stonehenge WWII Memorial in Goldendale, WA
                        One of the wider points in the Columbia
P-DAY LUNCH at the Pierces! Your Elders are doing GREAT!!! They had lunch at our house today!!  Love Sister Pierce

  
Things continue to run smoothly in the WKM... for the most part:) Not everything is perfect but we are getting along really well out here.  The past groups of missionaries that we received are good and transfers went well.  We got everyone where they were assigned and everyone has a companion!:) 

It is getting a bit colder up here and we hear we are going to finally get snow.  It will actually feel like it is winter now (I still feel like it is back in October or November) but its not so good since we will be traveling a lot this next month.  We have zone conferences coming up and we are going to be going to interviews now as well. 

I love each of you and think of you often!  I hope your new year is continuing to go well:)

-Elder Matt Bowen
