Wow! Sounds like an eventful week! I can't believe Brian's phone flew off the top of the Xcellerator!
He probably did it on purpose to get a new one ;) haha just kidding
Brian! That sounds like a fun trip though. And it must have been nice
to see Pat and Jeremy! I hope they are doing well!
So
this week has been kind of a blur. I got a couple letters during
the week then found out that the Assistants have a bunch of letters and
packages for me, so when we went to go get them they were GONE! Turns
out the ZLs came by and took them and who knows when we will see them
again. So a little annoying but oh well. At least we got to go to the
Temple today and do a session! The DC temple is amazing! It was a
really great way to start off P-day. After that we even got to meet
with one of our investigators to take him on a Visitors Center tour!
So that was really nice too. Our investigators name is Hallsey and he
is 81! Elder Eyring (President Eyring's brother) was our Temple V.C.
tour guide and he did such a great job. He is one of the most humble
and spiritual people I have ever met! Our P-day was mostly missionary
work and now writing letters. But I don't mind at all. It was way
better to share it with an investigator than just going out and playing
basketball or something.
Last
night was the Night of Music and Inspiration at the Temple's Visitor
Center. My companion, Elder McDonald, Elder Queen and I all
performed "I Feel My Savior's Love" and the whole night was SO great!
So surprisingly I have been singing a lot. Give a special "THANK
YOU" to Grandma from me for all the singing lessons.
We
have 3 investigators that I have gotten to really meet and
progress with. One is on date to be baptized next month! We have
SO many potentials it is insane! So we have been spending a lot of time
following up with them and trying to set up appointments. I am
enjoying the work and REALLY enjoying the people.
A
little info on the ward... Our bishop is Bishop Lewis and he is the
sweetest and nicest guy I have ever met. And he is a stud at missionary
work. Our mission leader is very good too! He is very involved and
helpful. AS for the food calender... eh. Ha-ha it isn't filling up
too much but that's okay. Food is for slackers. ;) I am sure it will
fill up soon enough. The people that feed us are the BEST anyway so we
are happy with that.
Thanks for everything and I cannot wait to get those letters and packages that are being held hostage. They said I have like 10!!! Probably over-exaggerating but everyone knows
me now in the mission and are like, "are you Farley? Someone loves
you!" and I just say, "thats my momma!" haha so I don't know when I'll get them
because the ZLs live kinda far. At latest, Monday.
Love you all!
Your missionary,
Elder Farley
