Happy pday:) Well... the final destination will be HERE!! I will be heading over with Elder Letts! I really feel so blessed! This morning I was  moving some stuff over to my new apartment (5 minute walk)... this will be the easiest move of these last two years.... In total this will be my 6th area and 10th companion. It has been quite a journey.

This past week was a pretty good one. The last week in an area is always pretty weird because you know you are leaving. Elder Quispe and I worked hard together, I am grateful that we were comps! Church was really nice yesterday. All of the members are happy that I am staying. This week should be a good one. They are going to be a quick 6. I love you so much.

Thanks for sending all of the nice updates, I can´t believe that Naters is almost done... that is so nuts! He is going to be a big 9th grader before we know it. That is fun that dad got the day off - he deserves it. I am excited to see Adam´s haircut. Yesterday my companion cut my hair. It looks like I only have one haircut left...!

This past week... was a crazy one! I can´t believe that it is already Monday again, but at the same time... it seems like it has been forever. The highlights of the week definitely happened this weekend. We had a nice zone meeting! Elder Letts and I talked about teaching to our investigators needs. The spirit was really strong. We have a great zone. We had four missionaries bare their final testimonies... crazy that the next round is my group! Right after zone meeting I headed out to do intercambios with Elder Harris, a really nice Elder from Cali. The mission is so awesome, you just meet so many great people.

Saturday night, the Hermanas had a really nice baptism. As you saw from the pic, he has a beautiful family. There is a new Hermana in our district named Hna. Didericksen. During one lesson, she showed him a picture of her family. After seeing how happy they were, he decided that is what he wanted. He was baptized this past Saturday. The service was so sweet. The spirit was so strong.

I will let you know what happens next week with transfers!

I love you

Malaga was SO SO amazing! I would have to say that this was easily my best trip there! Yesterday we just chilled with the Frost´s. Elder Frost shaved my face... haha I will show Dad and Ad when I get home, after we just chilled with them all day and had lunch with them. Concilio was also so so good. I love the Deeres! We just got back about 30 minutes ago! Man... it is HOT today!

We have got a pretty good week ahead of us. We should keep pretty busy, we will also have zone meeting this Friday, which always makes the week fly! We will be giving a taller on either 1 teaching to our investigators needs 2 setting goals and making plans or 3 effective companionship studies. It should go well. I always say it, but I sure love my mission and missionaries.

I have a lot of good stories and videos on my camera to show you... ha aka yesterday when Elder Frost put aftershave on my face... haha or when I ate snails last week! We ate them at a members house. It didn´t taste terrible... but the thought is disgusting. My mind won the battle that time. I only ate one.. ha It tasted like chicken, but looked like... snot... gross! haha it was a funny experience though The video makes me laugh!

Well, we are just about to head out, so I will say goodbye now.

Mission-wide Conference

This last week was such a great one. We feel so very blessed. This past week was the week of consecration in the misión. We had one last year and it turned out great. The week started terribly for everyone in our district, but the weekend could not have been better. Elder Quispe and I are finding so many incredible people that are so prepared to receive the góspel. We really are seeing many blessings and success. This past week we found 8 new investigators - all incredible. On Saturday we saw the biggest miracle of the week. Sat night, we did not have ANY plans... those nights are rough, but often times turn out to be the best. We were in a pretty sketchy área, and we were ready to get out. Before we left, we remembered a reference that we had received about a month previous. She answered and told us she was home.  She has been here for 9 years now. It turns out that 2 weeks ago, her children (who she hadn´t seen for all that time) were finally able to come. We were able to teach them a very nice lesson and invite them all to be baptized. They all accepted with the biggest smiles on their faces. After when we were praying, the son thanked Heavenly Father for all they have. They don´t have much, but I am sure their quality of life is much better here.

Yesterday was such a special Sunday. The spirit was so strong on fast Sunday. It was so neat. Between the 3 companionships we had 16 investigators visiting us. It was so humbling and sweet when both L and A got up to bare their testimonies in sacrament meeting. It was so touching.

I just want to wish everyone a happy mother´s day

I love you

Elder Farrell
