Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
Well, another week... and I've got some exciting news. Norma has agreed to be baptized on the 3rd of January! Yay, we were so excited when she said that she would and she wants to become a member and her family is supporting her in her decision.
Other than that, not too much has happened except we've been told that we are not allowed to help the incapacitated member anymore because he is becoming very ungrateful and is just demanding of everyone and nobody feels that we should help because we don't need that kind of negative response. He has not taken any one's advice and shot down the help of the state because they were going to take half of his retirement to pay for things and then they were going to take complete care of him. The bishop has asked that everyone basically back off and leave him be if he is not willing to work with us and be grateful. It is a sad situation that he has put himself in and that the bishop is no longer feeling that it is a good thing to help him. He hates to do that but, we can't spend our whole day catering to him, there are others who need help in this world. We keep going out and knocking on doors day after day trying to find those whom the Lord has prepared, and we will, but we haven't found them yet.
Since I haven't got an e-mail from my family I suppose that no news is good news and that all are having fun in California.
Oh! Transfers are next week and so the always asked question, what is happening to ME? Of course, wow it has already been another transfer. I can't believe that it has gone by so quickly. Let me know what you think and you'll find out next week.
Remember this thanksgiving to be thankful for all the many wonderful and absolute blessings that you have been given from God. Remember to be thankful for the love that families share towards one another and especially to joy that comes when we all gather together to celebrate families this holiday season. You will find more peace and happiness when you look for the beauty rather than the beast in life. I know that I am s thankful for family and friends and for all the love and support that they give to me. I'll be thinking about you all on Thanksgiving Day. I LOVE YOU ALL very much, and remember John 14:27.
LOVE YOUR MISSIONARY,
ELDER BRIAN BOWLER
