The El Faro missionaries are converted to the Lord! A few of our seasoned missionaries finished their service here and will soon be embraced by their family members. We have learned so much from them. We will definitely miss their smiles, hugs, presence and their strong spirits. To share some of what these missionaries have learned on their missions, we have included some quotes from them.

New missionaries have also arrived in the mission! We are so thrilled to meet the new missionaries coming in. They will infuse the mission with new energy, hope, humility, and faith. We thank their families for lending them to us for 18 months to 2 years.

"The mission
has taught me a lot of things. The biggest thing has been learning to adapt to
tough circumstances, and having confidence that the Lord will be there to
support me wherever I am. The mission has helped me deepen my conversion and my
love for my Heavenly Father". -Elder

"After two
years of serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
I have learned that true happiness comes from following the teachings of Jesus
Christ and keeping His commandments. I have also learned that obedience brings
blessings, but exact obedience brings miracles. We should be progressing each
and every single day so we can be who the Lord wants us to become. And I have
learned that the gospel of Jesus Christ comes first in our lives." - Elder Alexander Maybury

"I have
learned during my mission to be humble and to accept changes.
During our lives we will go through a lot,
and we can decide to accept or reject change.
But life is a lot better if we accept change.
I know the prophet receives revelations for
our lives"

"The mission
changes your life.
Well, that´s what
everyone says.
Really it is amazing to
see how Christ changes you.
This is His
church, and it is His work.
He can
change you and the people around you.
That is the miracle of the mission."

"The mission
has helped me to learn where to put my priorities in life and has helped me to
grow into a better disciple of Jesus Christ.
I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for me and as I trust him, he
will help me in every step of life to learn and grow and be happy.
I have been able to convert myself and be a
tool in the hands of the Lord to serve his children."

"God is so
good. He guides this work and it has
been such a blessing to be a part of it.
I have learned that the gospel really is the only way to find true
happiness in this world. I have come to
love the basic principles of the gospel and the mission is exactly what I
needed. I will forever be grateful for
the experiences and love of God that I have felt in Spain." -Hermana Jordanne

"In the
mission I have learned how to recognize the spirit better and I am more capable
to follow his promptings. The Lord has
taught me over and over again the need to rely on God and not on my own
strength. I have learned that miracles
are only brought to pass after an act of faith.
I know that prayer is necessary to be able to talk to our Heavenly
Father and receive personal revelation.
I love the Lord and His holy work!"
