Mission Scripture......

Well, life is good and people are crazy. :) sorry that this is going to be a short email today but just the only thing to say is that this gospel is true and I love being a missionary. As many of you know I have loved each and every minute of this mission although is has its ups and downs. One of my scriptures that I have come to love and I feel that describe my mission is 1st nephi 6:4 which says For the fulness of mine intent is that I may persuade men to come unto the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, and be saved.

and so I hope that you all know that I love you as much as I love our savior and that is with all of my heart. Have a great week and share the gospel!!!!

Another Great Week................

I know you are all sick of hearing the same old response about how "This was a great week" but I just don't know how else to tell you guys about the week. So as always, this was a great week, we were able to have stake conference here in my area and it was super great! We had a super great talk given by the mission presidency counselor and he did a great job! 
To be honest I am not sure what else to tell you all aside from that I love the gospel and that I am glad that our Heavenly Father has control of everything, I know that his plan for each and everyone of us is a perfect plan as long as we follow his established guidelines and commandments. 
I wish you all the best and I love you all so very much!

Exploring the new area..................

Well I am writing today since yesterday was a holiday here in Costa Rica and there were no internet shops open to write, so sorry mom if i scared you... :) but this week has been really great! We are working on trying to win the trust of the members and so we went and visited the majority of them this week. Our ward is absolutely full of returned missionaries and so it should be fun as we continue to try and work with them! My companion and I are really excited to work this week and I know that the lord is blessing us as we work our hardest to fulfill our responsibilities. This last week was full of great experiences and a few interesting people, I was told that Joseph Smith was an ax murderer, and that the church "brainwashes" people so that they go to our church... by a few different people. I am not sure where these people get their information but it sure did make for a few funny contacts this last week. I am just loving all my time here and well I hope you all know that I love this church and my savior! Have a great week and pray for missionary opportunities, we do not need to be perfect to share the gospel, we only need be willing to open our mouths and the lord will fill it with the right words. 

Sincerely

Elder Ferrin

A  hike in our new area

Transfer and Temple visit........

This week was a great week! I arrived to my new area on Tuesday, and met my new companion Elder Ellis from Honduras. He has about 9 months in the mission and is ready to work! I can already tell that the next two changes are going to be Great!! On Wednesday we worked and met a bunch of new people and then on Thursday we went to the temple! I love the temple and the knowledge that we gain, and the ordinances that we do. Saturday we were blessed with a beautiful 3 sessions of conference, and then again Sunday. This has just been a great week of blessings and I am extremely excited to continue seeing blessings as we begin this week. I love you all and I hope that we all may be able to remember Christ and his divinely appointed representatives each day this week.
