Huge Delicious Orange!

Hello and happy Monday sweet family and friends! Shout out to my amazing sister who just moved to start her new job, I am so happy for you Tracie! Another week of missionary service has come and gone - I am grateful for this time.

The beginning of the week started pretty rough... due to cockroaches... haha all of my friends in South America, I just have to say how much more respect I have for you, and to apologize how disappointed you would be if you saw how I reacted to finding two giant Cockroaches above my bed... yeah I think I have a phobia, and the bad thing is, we find more every night. Haha the good thing is, I learned that I am capable of killing them, it just takes a bunch of courage, and some screaming to go along with it... haha those cockroaches are long gone.

Other than that great experience which happened Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, it was a really great week for us. The first half of the week, Elder Patterson and I really focused our efforts on the Rescate. I have mentioned, but right now a big focus in our Mission and Stake is to find the Menos Activos and to work with them and through them. We were able to get in contact with a few of them, which was great; we are looking forward to working with them this week. 

Thursday President Deere made his way to Murcia to conduct interviews. I know I always say it, but I am so grateful for President Deere, Hermana Deere, and really their whole family, and the service they render each day. Being a mission President is a great sacrifice, and I am so grateful for all that he does, and the inspiration he receives for the Spain Malaga mission. Interviews were good and really seemed to motivate and lift the zone. We are looking forward to this next month, the month of invitation, and for the miracles the Lord has in store for us. 

Thursday Evening and all day Friday I went on intercambios with Elder Richardson. We were able to work in his area for a day and ours the next. It is so great working and teaching with other missionaries, you learn so much. As for our investigators, we have a few that are progressing. Right now is a really tough time because everyone is working in the fields from 6 30 in the morning to 10 at night making it nearly impossible to keep frequent contact. We know that there are people prepared and we are really focusing our efforts on finding.

Saturday evening we were able to go help the Elders with a cosecha in their area. I was happy for the opportunity we had to go and to give them some animo so they can continue working hard in their area. 

This past week was a really good week of reflection for me. I am so grateful for the things that I have learned over these past few months, and for the opportunity to apply them. I am learning so much each day. I know the Savior loves us. We are His hands.
Have the best week.  I love you all!

Elder Farrell
