Well we are
officially in 2014 and I am still alive after being a missionary for a complete
365 days of the year. That is crazy that 2013 is gone!! I remember this
time last year in Zaragoza. It is crazy how time flies.
I went to my first
meeting that happens every month with just the zone leaders and the Paces and
the ayudantes. It was such a spiritual experience!! And we set the goal
for the New Year. Last year our focus was to baptize 20 people a week as
a mission. And towards the end of the year we were getting it and we doubled in
size as a mission. So this year we want to baptize 30 a week as a
mission!! So we can baptize at least 1000 people by the end. So we all
talked about that in our meeting and that was the conclusion that we came to.
Then I did my first
zone enfoque with my zone. It was definitely different being up in front
of 24 missionaries instead of sitting down in front of like 8 as a district leader.
But we just introduced the new goal and got them excited to go out and
get it done!! We have the other missionaries from the other 2 islands fly in
and we all meet here in Palma, it is the center on the district as well.
We have been teaching
quite a lot as well!! We just can’t get anyone to church, that is the problem.
So that is our focus this week because we have all these people who want
to get baptized but they need to come to church but coming for the first time
is always the hardest, but then they always love it, especially here. The
branch has 90 people and we have a gorgeous building so that always helps!! We are
gonna blow up Palma with baptisms soon!!!
Well that’s about it,
sorry transfers were this week so that’s why I’m emailing today. I just got
moved in the middle of the transfer out here. I love you all!!
Love,
Elder Farah
