July 1, 2014 - Happy 4th of July!

 Concilio
                            

Wow, I cannot believe that July is already here... AGAIN! It seems like just yesterday I was walking off of that plane without any idea of what I was getting myself into, but now I know I am involved in the greatest work. I am so grateful for this past year. With that, happy July:)

As you may know, this past week was another crazy one with transfers here in the Spain Malaga mission. I was sad to see Elder Patterson go. Over the past three months we have been through some of the best and hardest times, he has become one of my best friends. I learned a bunch from that guy. Great Elder. Wednesday, Elder Webb my new companion came in from Malaga! He is from Holladay, Utah and we have a few mutual friends, so we became good friends real quick. I am really looking forward to this transfer with him. He is FULL of energy and uses it in his work. From the past four days we have had together I can tell he is a great worker. 

The beginning of the week we did a bunch of farewells as Elder Patterson got ready to head out of the area. It was great passing by members and investigators, so that he could wish them well and I could set up return citas to bring back my new comp.

As for the work here, things are really looking up. Our area consists of multiple little Pueblos. Right now we have about 4 or 5 investigators that are really progressing, but the problem is that they all live in different pueblos. That is one of our goals for the transfer is to organize our work more with the tools that we have been given so that we can have more effective work time.

We had a little scare at the beginning of the week when we had a hard time getting hold of our investigator. By Wednesday we were able to regain contact and have a very spiritual lesson. The first thing he asked me, "Farrell, you 
aren´t leaving too are you? You can´t leave, because if you leave, there will not be anyone big enough to baptize me." It really made us happy to hear that; a sure answer to our prayers. At the end of the lesson I committed him to read 2 Ne. 2 about the plan of salvation and he replied. I have already read that, I am in Jacob. He is doing great. Please keep up the prayers for him.

This past Monday we had concilio again in Malaga. It is always so special to feel of the strong spirit there and to see some of my best friends here on the mission. I truly am so grateful to be here.

Please know that I am doing well, keeping busy and loving the work! I hope you all have a wonderful week. I love you all!!
