October 13, 2014


Well my dear family, it was so wonderful to hear from you today and to hear that everything went well with the WEDDING! I am so happy for you T and B! It sounds like we both had good weeks, over there, and over here!


This past week we had a lot of miracles, Elder Bates and I, and it all started on Monday. This past Pday we were in Jerez spending time with the other Elders and Hermanas. We were able to play soccer and end the day ordering some nice pizza, but that isn´t the highlight. As Elder Bates and I said farewell and headed to the bus stop to wait for our bus we passed a man sitting cross legged on the ground playing on the phone with his son. As we passed we just said hello and continued to purchase our tickets. As soon as we had the tickets, Elder Bates and I both knew we needed to go back out and talk with him. We were able to talk to him the whole ride home! He is here helping his parents get moved in and he and his family will be heading out here next month or so but while he is here he would love to have us over. On the bus he actually invited us over Wednesday night to enjoy areipa with he and his family. We ended up going over Wednesday to share a message and areipa, back Thursday to pick up our umbrella, and Friday to visit with them again. They are literally the most prepared people I have met out here. I already see them as members. I wish so much that they will accept this message of happiness! It is a beautiful message!

Update on our investigator, he is doing so well! Today we finished our last message with him on temple work and la obra misional. He has progressed so so much and we are planning on the interview this Wednesday and the service on Saturday. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!

A nice story to end. This past week we were at the church pretty late teaching a lesson. After the lesson we packed up and were on our way home. As we were walking we spotted Hermano T on the street. We headed over there to see how he was doing and to see if there was anything we could do to help him. He is experiencing some back pains and basically told us it was a VERY low moment for him. He said when he was in his lowest moment he looked up and saw two white shirts and smiles coming at him. He said "Angels were to the rescue." Missionary work is a very humbling work. 

I love you all. Have the best week!

Elder Farrell
