Well, first things first, I just
wanted to let T and B know how happy I am for them for their big day this
THURSDAY!! The date always looked so far away from this end, but it has come so
fast! I am so happy for you, and grateful for the knowledge we have that
families are forever. I will be there with you on Thursday!
As for our week here - Great. This
past week was crazy with a lot of traveling, conferences both Zone and General,
studying, lessons and everything in between. The missionary life is a good one.
Well, General Conference as you all
know was incredible. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the voice of our beloved
Prophet President Thomas S. Monson and all of his counselors. I loved hearing
all of the talks and the themes they focused on. I really recognized the focus
on Prophets, Personal Testimony, Family, La Santa Cena, and of course our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ. All of this is possible because of Him. My poor comp
probably thinks I am crazy. I just get really excited when this time of year comes
around. I am looking forward to reading the messages over, and studying what
the Lord would have us hear. Good stuff.
This past week we also had Zone
Conference in Sevilla. We spent Tuesday night in the Jerez Elders piso so we
could head out bright and early Wednesday morning. All of the speakers were
inspired and the spirit was very strong. The APs talked about the model of
commitments. Hermana Deere spoke on how to become a happy and healthy
missionary. President Deere gave an incredible taller (workshop) on the
Atonement of Christ. It was exactly what we needed to hear in preparation for
conference. I was also able to see some of my best mission friends including my
dudes from Molina Elder Patterson and Webb. I have been blessed with wonderful
comps!
Elders Webb, Farrell, Patterson
Elders Bates, Farrell, Adamson, Lelegren
When we did have time to work in
our area we were very blessed. Here are the basic updates of the week of work!
We had a wonderful member present lesson with our investigator on baptism and
confirmation - it was just what he needed. He also joined us all day yesterday
watching conference in the Stake Center. "I loved the words of Prophet
Monson" Me too. On Thursday we threw a great Noche de Hogar with the Rama
and Friday we were invited to the mutual as the special guests to teach them
how to make brownies. They definitely weren´t moms but they worked! On Friday
we were able to set a baptismal date with another one of our investigators. The
work is going forward.
I love you all! Have a great week!
Happy wedding TandB!!
Elder Farrell
