Hello family and friends. I am happy to write you again this week and to hear that all of you are happy, healthy and well. I know all of my letters begin the same, but it is true, I sure love you all! This past week for Elder Patterson and I was a long, good, happy, stressful, hard, but rewarding week of work.
At the beginning of the week Elder
Patterson and I were very involved with transfers, making sure that everyone
made it into and left the zone without problems. We received 4 new Elders in
our zone and 1 new Hermana. We are excited for the changes and for the transfer
that we have ahead of us. We have big goals and are grateful for a new start to
focus on them.
This past week we had some good
contact with our investigators that are progressing, but we had to drop many of
our investigators that were not progressing so that we could focus on the
investigators that are. It is hard dropping investigators because we love them
and care for them, but there are those that are more prepared and those who are
waiting for us right now. We also worked with the ward to help the menos
activos. We were able to get in contact with many of them and are looking
forward to helping them return to the blessings of the Restored Gospel.
I know this email is very broad,
but that pretty much sums up the week. Elder Patterson and I are doing well and
are looking forward to this transfer to really work hard and to see the
miracles that the Lord has in store for us.
This past week I really
strengthened my testimony on key aspects of this message. You see a lot of
difficult lives and experiences as a missionary. It is so hard to see the way
that some people live and the way the adversary works to make them unhappy like
him. I have a firm testimony that the Lord knows all that His children are
passing through and will not leave them/us as orphans. He loves us and will
ALWAYS love us. Thanks to His infinite Atonement all that is unjust in this
life will be made just. I love my Savior. This message is perfect. Yesterday in
Consejo de Barrio our Bishop put a strong emphasis on the battles that we face
as members. Whether it be a calling, trial, sickness or death we will always
have battles in this life because that is what this life is, a test, a
probationary state. I am so grateful for the Plan of Salvation, it truly is a
plan of Happiness.
I love you all, have the best
week!!!
Elder Dallin Farrell
