June 16, 2014

Hello family and friends! Happy p-day! I hope that you are all doing well - I love you all so much! I can´t believe that another week has already come and gone... sheesh this thing is going quick! I loved hearing from you today and to hear from all of you. As for Elder Patterson and I, we had a good week. These past two weeks have really been picking up!

As many of you know, right now is the World Cup. That basically describes what is going on here for everyone that lives here. Soccer is life. We are definitely being blessed and keeping busy, but this next month or so should be interesting... haha. Right now I am living in a four man piso with three of us gringos, and one Elder from Chile. He thought it would be a good idea to show some of his Chilean pride and hang a Chile flag out the window. It was all fun and games until I remembered that Spain plays Chile this week... haha please pray for us. Jokes, we will be safe, we may just take that flag in;) Also for Spain news, it is getting really hot around here. I think this past week it maxed out at 109º, which we really felt with the humidity. Summer has arrived and we will officially welcome it this week on the 21st.

Other than that, things are going really well here in the work. As I mentioned, Elder Patterson and I have seen a lot of miracles the past two weeks and now our work is really picking up. We continue to teach our investigators. They are really progressing. I know they will be baptized.

This Saturday the other Elder´s from Molina had a baptism! We were so happy for them.  They have worked so hard in this area that has been pretty tough the last little bit. It was probably the most beautiful baptism I have been to out here. The Spirit was so strong and the recent convert bore one of the strongest testimonies I have ever heard. We were also able to meet a new investigator at the baptism. He is the friend of the convert’s step father. As we were talking, he mentioned he had never felt so accepted in his life as he had while being in the church for a short while. He really opened up to me and I was able to testify of the healing power of this gospel message. He replied, "This is the path I have needed, this is the path I have been looking for" We are looking forward to meeting with him tomorrow.

This week we have one of the YM in our ward living with us doing a mini mission. We are looking forward to a great week with him.

That is basically all for me. I love you all and pray that you have a wonderful week!

Elder Farrell
