September 3, 2013 - Finally in Malaga!


Sister Deere titled this picture Tsunami - 37 missionaries arrived, and none departed!

I have finally made it to Malaga!! I feel at home:) I woke up this morning at 4 40, got ready, showered, said goodbyes, then the missionaries heading to Malaga loaded onto a bus at 6 15 and we arrived at the train station at about 7. The train station was incredible, but it all seems like a blur. Elders Adamson, Allsop, Rasmussun and I sat by each other on the train ride; I don't know how we scored, but we sat first class with about 4 other missionaries. It was the fastest, funnest train ride I have ever been on. We arrived at the train station around 10 and I FINALLY saw the Deeres!! It is SO hot here, I know it is my first day, but I have sweat so much!! Right now we are just at a stake center near the train station doing a little orientation.  I had my interview with President; I love him so much. I couldn't be more grateful or excited to be serving here. All of the assistants and leaders here are incredible. We just finished Dominos for lunch and Elder Adamson and I are e-mailing real quick. The rest of the day is orientation. Tonight the Elders stay at a hotel, and the Hermanas are at the mission home. Tomorrow we get assigned our areas, and companions then tomorrow night we are eating at the mission home. Sorry this is a very rushed e-mail, but I wanted to let you know that I made it safe, I am alive, and I am so happy to be here. Have an amazing week, talk to you next Monday!
Con Amor,
Elder Farrell
