The one where the you are helping in the Gathering of Isreal (Week #71)

Hello all and Happy P Day!
This week was quite busy as we had our Zone conference on Tuesday, then Wednesday we moved to a new house and Elder Romero got sick again. Sooo that was fun! But, we were able to work the rest of the week! Once again we had to accept the lords timing on Sunday with havin no investigators in Sacrament meeting again, but we had an excellent meeting with our Bishop yesterday where he asked us to start working in an area thats a lot closer to the church building so that should be good!
In the Zone conference, President Leite invited all youth preparing to serve a mission come and participate with us in the conference, and that was pretty awesome! But there was one part were a young man from our ward, who lives in the other missionaries area stood up and proclaimed that the youth in the ward wanted to help with missionary work but the missionaries never involved them! This, while being a roast, was a good roast, and gave Elder Romero and I an Idea. Last night, under the direction of the bishop, we had a mini MTC meeting with all the youth in our ward that had a desire to participate in the missionary work. We had some fun, started to teach them how to be missionaries, and at the end of the night gave them each companions and divided them into 2 districts, chose some of the more active and involved youth to be the ´´district leaders´´ and put them to work. Now instead of our ward having just two missionary companionships, it has 2 complete districts! Every sunday Missionary Prep class was changed to be our ward District Meetings, and everyone is super excited. It truly is inspireing to see the faith and courage of our youth here in sharing the gospel, which is litterally saving lives here. It truly gives yet another proof that our wonderful Profet truly is called of God. The challenge he issued to youth in the world to participate in the gathering of isreal is being taken very seriously here. I pray every day that the same faith and excitement is being put to use in every single part of the world! 
Other than thes main events nothing out of the ordinary happened this last week!
Hope you all are well! 
Love Elder Ferrell
