Dear Family and Friends,
My miracle from the week was yesterday. We went to visit
this member who now isn’t able to come to church because she has work.
But just recently her son has arrived from Venezuela and so I really want to
teach him. We have been trying and trying and trying to see him but for
whatever reason he wasn’t home or was really shy to talk to us. But I know that
this woman has a lot of respect for the Bishop. So in our priesthood meeting Sunday
morning before church I asked him to come with us after church in the afternoon
and he said “no problem, con gusto,” so we went and visited them. And all I got
to say is that the Bishop is a powerful man and is so involved in the work
here. He talked with this lady and her son and bore pure testimony to this kid
that we share a message that changes lives, and then said the Elders will be
here Tuesday to visit you and he accepted. I was in shock!! I know that we
found this new investigator because of the Bishop and his help for us. I love
the Bishop here; he is such a great man and is always asking us about our work
and wanting to help. And it didn’t hurt that me and the Bishop get along really
well. I respect him so much. That
is one of the great things about being in an area so long; you get to build
great relationships with all the people.
So transfers are next week, and this Saturday night we will
find out where we are going. I hope I stay one more transfer!! One more would
be like the max amount of time; 5, that is pretty rare around here. The ward on
Sunday all told me I had to let them know Saturday night what happens. This
one might be rough!! But I will just do work this week and not worry about
it.
Other than that our Colombian kid came to church and everything,
and we saw him once last week before he got sick for a few days. He has a
few doubts; he is just scared of changing from Catholic to Christian because
his whole family for generations has been Catholic. So we just need to
work with him a little more, but I still really think he will be baptized. And
he loves all the things that we do in the church, because if you really take a
second to think, our church does a ton!! It is just all pure love, service and sacrifice
that we do for our Lord. I love it.
The sun has been pretty hot, and we are right under it.
And I just sweat nonstop. And when we are in buildings knocking
doors in the stairwells it is like an oven because there are no windows, just lights
and concrete so it is pretty toasty. But anything for the Lord!! And it
is only going to get hotter, and with the humidity of Castellon, it can make us
pretty soaked, but no worries.
Hope all is well and everyone is enjoying the summer. Love
you!!
Elder Farah
