Hello there family and friends!
Happy pday! Well as I always say, another week has already come and gone. I am
sure grateful for the many blessings and experiences I am seeing daily. Thank
you all so much for your nice emails, prayers and support. It means the world.
Well, Monday and Tuesday were my
last two days in Molina de Segura, and they were very busy days saying goodbye
to all of the incredible people that I was blessed to meet. It is funny how
transfers work, but I swear each one is going by quicker and quicker... It is
nuts how quickly time is flying!
Monday for the evening we were able
to head out to Las Torres de Cotillas to spend the evening there working. We
had some set citas with investigators, which ended up canceling, but we were
blessed to be able to visit with some of the members that have done so much for
us in my time here. We were able to pass by the Bishop´s home and visit with
him and his family. We were also able to
visit with his parents who have helped us so much with the work in Molina. We
ended the night with a killer noche de hogar with A.R. and all of their
friends. Tonight they taught us how to make tortilla de potata which was so
much fun. Family, Tortilla de potata is something to really look forward to;)
Tuesday we continued with the
citas, and I was able to say goodbye to many more people that have really been
a huge blessing. I was also able to talk to O, which was really hard to say
goodbye to him. He is really progressing, and his kids should be coming to live
with him within the month. He will continue to progress with the other Elders,
I am so excited for him.
Wednesday was a nice long 10 hour
day of travel travel travel. I hopped on the bus from Murcia to Sevilla,
grabbed a taxi to the train station to catch the train to Jerez, then finally
met my comp where were we able to catch our bus home. It is good to be here.
These past few days have just been
filled with meeting new people and getting to know the area a little bit
better.
First of all, where I’m at, it is
the polar opposite of Murcia!! My new area is placed right on the coast so we
enjoy the breeze all day everyday, which is incredible!! It is so weird seeing
all types of tourists again constantly coming and going to the beach just right
down the street. This past week was the carrera de los caballos where there are
horse races on the beach, which is supposedly famous here. We were able to see
a lot of tourists for that. Anyways, on this side of the mission they speak
Andaluce or as I told my mom.... not so good! Haha their accent here is so
funny, after a few days, I am finally catching on a bit;) A few examples, here
they use the super theta which means that EVERY word that has a c, z, or s
makes a th noise... haha it is kind of funny, I am trying not to catch onto
this custom... Also they change the postion of their s and t´s for example
Jesucristo here is Jesucritso. Yeah... don´t know how they did that, it is fun
though. My new area is a rama of about 30 people, so I am really excited to get
to know them and continue working with them here in this area. I am looking forward to miracles. My companion is Elder Melgarejo from Peru. He is such a
good kid, and has such an incredible conversion story. He is the only member in
his entire family and literally left everything to be here. I am so grateful
for his example and courage.
This next week we are really
looking forward to FIND FIND FIND! We have got to do a lot of that.
Anyways, fam, I hope you are all
doing well. I love you all so much and am so very grateful for your prayers. I
miss you all! Have the best week!!
Elder Farrell
