WE DID IT!!!! We broke
the record!!! With exactly 11, what a coincidence right?? We barely squeaked
out 11 thanks to our baptism of Samuel. It actually was pretty intense,
and it was one of “them” stories how it happened. Everyone got baptized Saturday
but as we all know it doesn’t count until the confirmation on Sunday, so the
new members have to come to sacrament meeting. There were baptisms in Menorca
and in Ibiza and their sacrament meetings are in the morning. Our sacrament
meeting is at 4 in the afternoon. So at 2 o clock when we were eating lunch
I called to make sure that the confirmations happened in Menorca and Ibiza.
And they both did, so we were officially sitting at 10 baptisms and it
all came down to Samuel coming to church to get confirmed. He said he had to
work in the morning and that he was going to be a little late and I told him as
long as he was there before 5 it would be ok. So it gets to like 4:35 and he
still hasn’t showed up and we are stressing at this point, so much was on the
line!!!! And so my comp and I walked out to call him and as we walked up he had
just ridden up on his bike. And then I confirmed him a member of The Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And then it was official.
WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
President called us this
morning to congratulate us and told us keep up the good work. I am
staying in Palma, only 2 transfers left :( so I think I will finish here, I
would like to. Being in Barc with Elder Perkis was the greatest, it was
fun to work with him again just like old times and he has turned out to be an incredible
missionary, he is a beast now. We are going back to Barc this Sunday for
concilio. Lots of changes in the zone, we are losing 4 of the 5 district
leaders we got and 2 of them are going to be zone leaders. That’s why the
zone was doing so good, we had good DLs and now we have 4 new ones.
Elder Kearon said a
phrase in the conference that I really like.
“We are happy but not
satisfied.”
We are super stoked that
we got the record, but now it is time to get it again!!! Ha ha love you all thanks
for the birthday wishes, really appreciate it.
Elder Farah
