Deep, unwavering reliance on the Lord Jesus Christ has marked the first year of Alan and Elizabeth Farrell‘s experience as mission leaders in the Perú Huancayo Mission.

“One powerful testimony I have is that the Lord does take care of us—every single one of His children—if we just look unto Him in every thought. Doubt not, fear not," President Alan Farrell said.

Their testimonies grow stronger as they serve while their two children, Jane and Joshua Farrell, also serve, in Spanish-speaking proselyting missions in the Chile Viña del Mar and Oklahoma City missions. Concurrently serving as missionaries and ambassadors for Christ in the Spanish language, President Farrell said, has only brought them blessings.
