Hello there family and friends,
what a special week we have ahead of us. I am so grateful for the opportunity
that we have to listen to the Prophet speak. We are truly so blessed. I am also
so grateful for Easter and for the true meaning of it. May we all remember the
true importance of Easter. It is such a privilege to be a full time missionary
of the Lord and testify that He LIVES. I am grateful for that knowledge.
This past week was another very
quick one. I know I have said it my whole mission, but it continues to be true.
E. Quispe and I have been working really hard to find new people. That is key
to missionary work, nothing happens in the work until you find people to teach.
Also... it is a lot better to find people when you and your companion get along.
I sure love Elder Quispe.
A couple quick updates from the
week.
Our sister investigator didn´t end
up getting baptized yesterday, but she continues to prepare herself and is so
excited. It truly is humbling to see her desire. She is receiving some
opposition, which is tough but we know that the Lord will provide a way. Please
keep her and her husband in your prayers that he may understand.
On Friday Elder Quispe and I had a
neat experience. Each month we have a noche de hogar de barrio here. We ended
up going to the church a bit early to help a member and her friend with
English. It turns out that this was the member’s friend´s first time in the
church. After teaching English we were able to take her on a tour of the church
and invite her to the activity. The member was stunned at how much her friend
enjoyed being there. Yesterday at church she came up to me crying and said,
"We have been friends our whole lives, I never knew she would be
interested. I feel so bad for waiting so long" We helped her understand
that she did a great job and that it is never too late. Bless her heart. I
learned a great lesson though. We never know who is prepared. It is never too
late to share the gospel with a neighbor, loved one, or friend. It brings the
greatest of happiness.
It is really warming up here. We
reached 97ยบ on Saturday.
Once again I love you all and pray
that you may be inspired from conference. President Deere challenged each of us
to find two things from conference and ACT. There is so much power in action. I
feel like if we all do it, we will all be the winners.
Have a wonderful week,
Elder Farrell
