Happy Easter
everyone!!
Well this week has
been a lot of fun, and a lot of work. We had Cindy’s baptism and it was amazing
and flawless. Well the baptism part. Of course the font was leaking again and nobody
has fixed it yet so again I spent most of my time mopping the constant slow
leaks. And the water gets pumped out of a wall with a tube that sticks into the
wall and some little kid decided to pull out the tube out and water started
flying everywhere ha ha it was way funny. But I just was in the back mopping
and the service went on a d it was great. Elder Perkis baptized her and did it
perfectly and he was so excited after and he could barely finish the prayer because
he started to cry. It was great. And we set another fecah this week with a girl
from Romania. Her parents are members but she never has been baptized because
she lives in the areal where there hasn’t been a church. But now that we are
going down there once a month to have a sacrament, she can be baptized. So we
taught her and invited her to be baptized and she accepted! The only thing is
that she lives kinda far...but we will baptize her no matter what!! So she can
be with her family in the gospel.
My birthday has also
gone well. The members are so nice to me. On Friday night they threw me a surprise
party in a members home and had a cake there and dinner. And then Saturday we
ate at a member’s house and she also made a cake for me and they sang to me as
well and gave me a present. And then on Sunday they all told me happy birthday
and what not. I love the people here so much, I love serving here in Castellon.
It is amazing and I never want to leave!! Even today some members invited us
over to play ping pong for p-day and it was way fun, I still got it in table
tennis :) But the people here are great. And it just makes me want to work
harder to make them happier with the ward increasing.
I have been super
busy this week as normal these days!! But I really think the ward is starting
to trust us a lot. They are always calling me for things and for favors and to
invite us over to eat. Training is a lot of work, especially with the language
but it is totally worth it!! And I think my first district meeting went well. We
baked the cake that mom sent me because it was another Elder’s birthday and our
oven doesn’t work in our piso so we made it at the church and ate it. It was so
good, thank you mom!
Other than that I am just
going forward, working as hard as I can to set an example for my new elder!! I
really am teaching him everything!! It reminds me of the days where Elder Tirado
taught me everything down to polishing my shoes and how to do laundry Spain style.
And now I am doing it! Funny how the world goes round. Happy Easter!!
Love,
Elder Farah.
P.S...Elder Orth is
returning with honor :)
