The week without much Sleep (Week #77...almost)

Hello All!
Today will be a quick email because of time, but this week that passed was good!
We had a missionary get transferred here temporarily to stay with us while he is having some personal difficulties, and he's awesome! And Elder Nichols is getting transferred here at the end of the Transfer next week. Monday was technically our p day but we had to work all day. Elder Pasini and had to stay up until 2:30 in the morning editing some videos for President to use in the Missionary Council on Tuesday, so that was hard! But its all part of things!
Tomorrow we are praying that everything will work out with the Baptism of Brenos Brother, Ruan. (Breno is the young man who was baptised last week).
Ruan is 11 years old and an excellent kid. Its something pretty powerfull to me sometimes to see such incredible kids come out of such terrible circumstances. Just goes to testify once more that God truly does love and know each and every one of his Children.

But thats it for the week! 
I hope everyone is doing well there, and that everyone has a good week next week!
Love Elder Ferrell

6 Months More (Week #76)



Helloooooo All!
This Last week was a blur and the pace just keeps picking up every day!
We had 2 Baptisms on Saturday of Breno and Josias. 2 young Men that are incredible!
The week before last week we had the baptism of Fernando, and he invited us all over to his house for a Barbeque sunday as our lunch! Yesterday our ward limits were redesigned basically taking away a third of our ward, so were going to have to work a ton to keep things from falling. Its pretty stressful trying to do the work I normally did in 8 hours in only 3 now, but until now its working out! All of my companions and I are working hard together and being blessed for that! 
On the office side my life is a sea of baptisimal forms, medical health plan cards, material requests and travel planning. But somehow until now im staying above water! This week is the last normal week we have of the transfer. Next week President will pass the transfer to us and the enormous work load begins again. But I was born ready for it!
Other than that there isnt a whole lot of news! Hope you all are doing well! Have a good week!
Love Elder Ferrell
