Well how is everyone this week? Things down here in Costa Rica are going great! This last week was a very hot week but since I am in a cooler area things are not too bad for us. This last week was pretty crazy for us since there are many new missionaries in our zone and there is a new set of Elders that are opening an area. So with new houses, new areas, and all of the fun that comes with that we had a little bit less time to work in our area this week.
It came down to Sunday night and we still hadn't met our goal of new investigators in our area for the week and so my companion and I were really trying to find those chosen families to teach. Well last night at about 6 o clock we were missing 4 new people and we had a little extra time before our next appointment and so we decided to search for a family. Well as we were walking and trying to discern where the spirit wanted us to go we continued to walk down a new little alley in the area, one that we have never been to before and well it turned out to be a dead end. So what did we do? We decided to contact the last house on the street and well long story short we were able to teach a great little family that is already married which is almost unheard of here! So even though it may sound like a simple little story it was a true little tender mercy for us to find them. This week we will continue to teach them and I feel really good about them.
Another thing that I came to realize this last week was that the joy of sharing this gospel with people that don't know about it yet is one of the best feelings that I have come to feel in the last year of my mission. Giving that hope and peace to people that deeply need it is such a blessing for me! I truly love my calling.
Well I hope that everyone has a great day and an even better week! And just a quick HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my best friends Syster Nielsen over there in Sweden! I hope that it goes great!
Take care everyone and I love you all!!
Please share this gospel. There will be deep regrets in the eternities if we don't. We cannot have a single empty seat in the celestial kingdom!
con mucho cariño y amor,
Elder Ferrin
D&C 6:33
Fear not to do good, my sons, for whatsoever ye sow, that shall ye also reap; therefore, if ye sow good ye shall also reap good for your reward.
and look who I ran into today in the central park?
Good ol, Elder Kirk.
Since he is in the other mission that doesn't happen much.
This picture was sent from a SR couple that is serving with Elder Ferrin.
They are from South Weber and send us Pictures when they run into Elder Ferrin.
We sure love them. Thank you Brother & Sister Petersen.
Well I was walking down the street the other day and then I heard a strange sound and my shoe felt funny.... well that nifty little plastic bar that comes on the inside of your shoes? ya mine finally fell out, the shoes were doing real good till that happened.
so I took them to a member that fixes shoes and well.... in a couple of days he had them looking brand new!
More or less... and well 10 dollars later we are back in business!
