Huge Delicious Orange!
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
