Elder Michael D Rowley, Neuquen Argentina: 22 July, 2013

So i really need you to send a letter together cause i don't have allot of time to write you all separate.

Dad-The blog is looking great. Thanks. Now that I am out of the MTC I can look at it. Im glad you had fun in Europe and I really want to ride one of those bullet bikes of his.

Love,

Elder Rowley

P.S- I love you both. Thanks for everything you do. You both are so awesome and I love you both.

Que Pasa Che's? (Whats up dudes?)

Alright there is a ton to write so here I go.

So I left the MTC awhile ago and I was driven up in a pretty ghetto white bus to the airport.

I was then unloaded and proceeded to wait in the security line but one of the benefits of being a missionary in Utah is everybody loves you! This nice old lady came and got us through the "back door". I then called my parents and boarded this little twin-propeller plane for Idaho.

We didnt even get to maximum altitude before the flight attentant announced that we were landing. It was like a 30 min flight. But actually on the plane I was talking to lady. She began her talking by announcing that she did not want to talk about God. But she actually started to and I gave away a pamphlet on the restoration. She read it while in flight and asked me lots of questions about it. I then committed her to visit Mormon.org and gave her another pamphlet. It was awesome.

I was picked up at the airport. Since my companion in the MTC went to Atlanta Georgia I just went with Elder Cullimore and Elder Parks to Idaho. I then went to the mission home and they fed us and I did eat a potato. I then had an interview with President Brinkerhoff. I spend the night in an old ladies house.

I then met my companions. They are Elder Bustamante (from Chile) and Elder Petitt from Illinois.

I went to Ammon Idaho, that is right by Idaho Falls. We got right to work. The standards of ecxellence and one baptism per month and 20 lessons a week. When I got here my companions in 6 weeks have never accomplished that. Regardless to say, we finished the week with 27 lessons and 3 new investigators and 2 potential investigators. We have had a successful week. We pushed it hard. They are both leaders and I look up to them both. They are awesome.

So now it is P day and Im just kinda chilling in a library. But out area is 2 miles by 2 miles. We also have this part called Fallsbrook. It is a huge trailer park. We find most of our success in there. I love it. So would Elder Graves. It is totally the "hood".
