Hey everyone! Crazy news! I've been transferred yet again. The difference this time though it that I've stayed in the same apartment, I just work in a couple of different wards now.
We got a call earlier in the week letting us know about transfers. I was a bit sad to be leaving my old secteur after only six weeks again but I was super excited to work with Elder Leight. He's an awesome missionary and we've grown really close while living together over the last few weeks.
Sunday was our first day out in secteur together. It was one of the best days of my mission. The highlight came towards the end of the day. We had walked for about an hour or so to the northernmost border of our secteur. We found ourselves in this beautiful field with only a few houses dotted around it. On a whim, we walked down this small trail that stretched off from the main road. On said trail, we passed an older man who was standing outside of his house. We said hello and he invited us inside.
He told us that he used to talk to the missionaries a lot. But after his first ever Sunday at sacrament meeting, he moved to where he currently lives and unfortunately lost contact with the missionaries and with the church. He told us that hes been searching for the church ever since to no avail. It was amazing. We were in essentially the middle of nowhere, in a part of our secteur that we would have otherwise had no reason ever to come to. But because we did, we were blessed to find this man and reconnected him with the church.
My love for missionary work grows every single day. I love this country, this people, this work, and this gospel.
I hope you all have a fantastic week.
À la prochaine,
Elder Farr
