Hello all! 
First off, this weekend is the weekend I say thank you to my parents for getting married so that i could exist. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!!!
Anyways,
This last week passed by in a blur. With so many things to learn it was hard to keep up at first but I am starting to settle into the grind of things.
One cool thing is seeing the way God blesses us for all the work we do! Even though we only have more or less than 3 hours to work each day, we are bombarded by people who want to learn the gospel. This last week Elder Pasini and I found a group of young men on the steet and took them to the church to play soccer. After that they came to the church every night this week to Participate in the nightly activities, wether it be mutual, seminary, or just pick up games of soccer, and they always ask us to share a message with them! We are praying that they will go to church tomorrow!
Wednesday night, a man showed up at the church and apparently look at it and said something along the lines of ´´Yep, this is the church I was looking for, how do i join your church?´´ A member showed him to the instatue class, and he participated and love it!
The next night he came again for instatute and we were able to teach him a little bit. Even though we were just getting to know this guy, we felt he definitly was one of Gods elect, so that night in the first visit we invited him to get married with the girlfriend he has lived with for 9 years, and to be baptised. The next day after that he brought us all the necisary paper work for him to participate in the mission wedding this next month! And the whole time he has been reading and study about the church, and is super excited to bring his daughters to participate in primary tomorrow!
And the best for last, today we have the Baptism of Fernando Whoop Whoop!!!!!!
Fernando is the husband of a member who never wanted anything to do with the church before, but 2 weeks ago we had lunch there and he listened to the message at the end, and that night his wife called us saying he wanted us to teach him the lessons. He went to church last sunday and loved it, and today at 3 PM he is going to get baptised!!! 
Just goes to show that if we truly give our all to the Lord, no matter what our calling may be, he blesses us and guids us to fulfill our work!
Thats all for the week this week!
I hope everyone is well and has an excellent week next week!
Love 
Elder Ferrell
