Hello my beautiful family!! Aww looked like you guys had such a great week and loved seeing the pics of my future sistaaaas wedding shower! chels you are so boootiful and I'm so excited for you and Blakey!

OKayy so family. Thank you for all your prayers! Really. They were def felt this week. Remember how I kinda had a rough week..well this one wasn't all so easy either haha but hey thats life right? Soo where to begin!

My district is super coool. We all live pretty close to the chapel so we pretty much play futbol every morning for exercise! So fun I love it haha. So Tues. morn we were playin soccer and my comp hna Rocha got this super bad pain in her back. Long story short, we began to walk home and the elders had to come give her a blessing in the dark at 7 in the morn on the side of the rode cause her pain was sups bad. ANd aw man I love the Priesthood...always get choked up when the elders give my comps blessings. We made it back to the pension and anyways long story short again we spent most of that day in the hospital! Turns out it was just somethin she ate and she is trooping along but we have to go back tomorrow morning  to have another test done? haha yay

OKKK and also this week we got a call from the APs telling us Hna Amurrio was being transfers (to my old area in Centenario) and that there was an emergency transfer in another area and that we would be getting a new companion, Hna Resquin. We were so sad to hear this because our lil trio was coming along and I absolutely loved Amurrio but hey its chill! Soo Hna Resquin is from Paraguay and looking forward to get to know her better.

We had a zone conference this week that was just so so great. I love Pres Lovell. He really is an inspired man and will be the prophet one day. Got some much needed personal revelation and insights!

Oh also guess who I finally saw! Elder Sulzen!! haha saw him in the mission office this week and is doing great!   He's a good kid. Oh and he's in Centenario tooo!


Its a struggle sometimes, the life ya know?? I feel like I say this every week, but our Heavenly Father knows us so perfectly and He has helped me in every moment of every day of these past 7 months. More in this week than ever! I find such peace and solace in turning to Him through prayer and the Book of Mormon. I sure love that book! I think I told this to Bails in my email to her, but I often get quite choked up when I think about the sacredness of my calling. When I really understand that I am a representative of my Savior and that I am part of the Lord's work, this is what helps me get through some tough days. Cling to the gospel my family! It is so true. I have always known it, without a doubt. But now I am only beginning to understand the importance of the gospel in our lives, how we are nothing without it. Always remember the goal you guys, its to make it back to our Father in Heaven. Esta vida es solo un tiempito! Las bediciones que nuestro padre celestial tiene preparadp para nosotros sone increibles!! Sorry its easier to say gospely stuff in spanish. I love you family. So so much. Mommy Im looking forward to Skype and cant wait to wish you a happy mamas day!!

Love hermanita farrow

Family!!!!!

Oh how I love you all tons. What a fun week you all had with the cousins and now Blakey home! So happy for yall. Well this week was a goood one! I am learning so much each day.  It actually is quite shocking to me of what a different person I am becoming. Not in a weird way, don't worry. I am just really really trying to do my best each day and trying to turn to my Savior in each moment. It is amazing to see the miracles that are put in my path each day as I strive to be obedient to the mission rules and a consecrated missionary. I really like my new area of Limay! The ward members are so so sweet and were so welcoming yesterday at church. We have a lot of new potential investigators from contacting this week! Also I am in a trio now so this will be different but a good change. Has to be for some reason right? It will be good! I love you all so much my dearest family. You are constantly in my prayers. Make it a good week okay!

Go read Romans 8:18.

Hey mom and dad, thank you for allowing me to have this opportunity to serve. It is definitely the hardest thing I have ever done. The mission is full of ups and downs. There have been moments in my mission when I have felt so alone and so down, but also the moments of complete opposite, the happiest most joyful of times. Times when I have felt literally so close to my Father in Heaven and Savior and these moments make up for the bad. So with that, voy a seguir adelante porque yo no puedo imaginar las bediciones que van a venir! La quiero familia. every single one of you!

Love,
Hermana Farrow

Well hey there everyone! Hope you all had a felizes pasquas!! I know I sure did. OKAY so President Lovell is making some crazy changes in the mission...soo my sweet lil area of Cervantes has been closed, just for the hermanas, so now the 2 elders have the whole town. So that means crazy unexpected transfers! I am in Neuquen! Hermana Farrow goes to the city! I am in the part called Limay. It is soo nice and maintained its so ridiculous compared to my last 2 areas haha I'm actually  can walk on paved roads and streets with stoplights you guys! It´s so cool. And soo many people oh my goodness! My district is all the office elders and the AP´s so that's sweet. And Pres Lovell is in my ward! Apparently this ward is el barrio celestial en la mision...so I'm pretty pumped. My new comp is Hna Rocha and is from Brazil. Shes 24 and her accent is kinda hard for me to understand cause shes new in the mish and learning spanish! So we are learning together! She got dat portuguese accent goin on. But she seems great and our apartment is HUUGE I am in Heaven haha. So yep here I am in a brand new transfer and area and things are going swell. So sad to say goodbye to my Hna Housty this morning at 4 am. Yes 4 am I am so exhausted cause i got less than 2 hours of sleep from packing and all that jazz hehe but all is well. Also so hard to say by to my recent convert Anyta and her mama Estela last night. Many tears were definitely shed and I just desire so badly for all to be well in their lives! I promised them Id come back and visit one day sooo yeah sorry ma and pa looks like you guys will behave to take me on a trip back to my patagonia home cause I missed the cruise this year haha.

Didn't you all just love general conference of so much? I absolutely loved it. Especially Holland´s talk. Man oh man I love him and the power in His words. I loved how the whole conference was based around the family, marriage, and the Atonement of Jesus Christ, because those truly are the things that matter most. What a beautiful spirit was felt as these prophets and apostles testified of the power and reality of the atoning sacrifice of our Savior and Redeemer. Because He lives, we have the opportunity to find peace and direction in this oh so chaotic world. Because He lives, we are able to start blank pages in our lives and look forward with faith. Because He lives we can not only have happiness in our day to day lives, but we have the opportunity to have lasting happiness and live with our families in the eternities to come. I know He lives.

I love my Savior Jesus Christ and it is an honor for me to wear his name and be a literal representative of Him for the next year of my life. I know I am far from perfect, but each day I am pleading with my Father in Heaven to help me become just a little bit more like my perfect example and older brother. Our weaknesses can be made to strengths as we turn and look for this Jesus in our lives (Ether 12 27 and 41). Pray to have te eyes to see the daily tender mercies and miracles the Lord puts in our paths and you will be able to see just how merciful He is. I have seen this and have felt the undeniable presence of the Savior in my life. Look for Him and you will find Him. I also had te chance to finish the Book of Mormon this week and reached my goal to finish before conference, and oh family and friends, that book is oh so true and I love it. Read and cherish it and you will see blessings being poured into your lives, I promise you!

I sure love my family and support group back at home! Hope you have a fantastic week. And hey cousin Elder Brandon Moon just wanted to give you a shoutout and say I love you tons! You are such an awesome missionary and absolutely loved your last letter. I know the joy and happiness you were talking about.

Make it a great week!
Hermana Brooke LeAnne Farrow
