There goes 2 years

WELL I WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS TO TELL YOU THIS BUT WITH THIS CHRISTMAS BONUS CHECK WE´LL BE PUTTING IN A POOL........ YUP THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE BIG ONE....haha or something along those lines.. sorry if i am a little bit off but i havent seen the movie in two years.. Wow so there goes two years..... this week we will pass the 2 year mark for my farewell and the 2 year mark from when i started.. nuts....but hey this week went pretty well, we have been preparing the people for baptism and we are really really trying to help 2 people make it to baptism in this week, jazmin and darsy.. it would be really cool to help both of them make it.. jazmin is a sure thing but darsy is a little bit unsure... but we really are working on finding the people and i know that it will not be easy but we are really really trying to finish off these weeks with all the strength that i have got.. i love this area and it will not be easy to say goodbye to all these people.. it is unbelievable how much has happened!!! life is nuts!! well we are in the last email.. i love this gospel... there really is nothing like it and i know that when i get home i dont want to leave my bubble.. i am so happy i have the best family that is always there to support me and i love how much you have all taught me in my life before the mission and also how much i have learned from each of you still being in the mission.. I have learned that i have a testimony of the gospel and i know that my family is the reason that i have been able to have such a good life. This really is unbelievable that it took leaving my family for two years to really really really appreciate them.. i have always loved my family for being awesome and fun and hilarious but now i know that the gospel is the motor for the boat.. I love you all and thank you for all the support you have given me in my mission.. I hope that we all may continue our progress in life together and read and have a good time as a family all the time.!! well i guess that would be alll right??? i love you tons and i will be talking to you later..........

Hello Family.. So today family i am in an internet place and the keyboard bites... so if i dont write very much that is not my fault.. haha but this week was another stellar week. we were able to have another baptism, hna Dora got to the water. let me tell ya she is 62 but she looks like shes 80. well when she felt the water she gave me a stern look and i talked her into the water. but boy was it freezing cold...hahaha holy cow i was doing all i could to not shiver when she was in the water. after i had finished the prayer i was waiting for her to take a breath but she couldnt because she was so cold, but in fin she took her breath and got dunked.. so it was a really cool experience because we have been working with her since i got here. so it was really cool to see her make the decision and be the example for her family..now we are working on her two daughters and her grandson... little by little..one of the daughters is preparing for the 3 of november.. we are hoping she stays strong and the other one says in december.. so ya not to likely ill be here for that one.. but the important part is that they make the decision..so in these days we were able to have some great lessons. the other family from last week that didnt come to church was able to make it this week. so that was great.. and they also have a baptismal date for the 3rd. we are really excited for them.. The work is progressing and the time isnt stopping.. i am thinking my next email will probably be my last and that is a pretty interesting thought eh...i love this work and i love peru it is so awesome and the people are so loving. it is just really easy to talk to whomever.. i love being able to teach the gospel and study the scriptures in the morning..it really is the way to start off a day... cant believe it but ...... Love Elder Farr+Orth+Whitehead+Farah+Future Whitehead=AWESOME

New Investigators

great new investigators.. 6 to be exact and 3 of them came to church and the rest will be coming next week.. we are also setting up for another baptism here this week.. 
hna dora..

Baptism of Hna Dora

she is pretty awesome.. she is a little bit older but she is pretty hilarious.. she didn't tell us but this week she gave up drinking alcohol.. she didn't know the drink she had was alcoholic, she just used it because when she had food stuck in her throat or when she felt full she would drink one and then she was all good.. haha it was pretty funny her reaction but ya she is going to be baptized on saturday.. she needs to have her interview still but she is really pretty awesome.. her family is also really cool but they are progressing a little bit slower, but they are working and going little by little.. life really has started to go a whole bunch faster in these last couple weeks, all the investigators that we have been working so hard to help progress are finally moving... so that is awesome!! the gospel really does bless families.. i have seen it in two families in just this week.. this area i have really learned how finding families really is what makes the missionary work move.. this gospel is incredible... i love you all so much for being their and supporting me in the mission and always helping me be excited about the work.. I have learned a lot here and i love my area and the people we have been getting to know these days.. Love Elder Farr+Orth+Whitehead+Farah+Future Whitehead=AWESOME Trenton happy birthday!!! you are an awesome nephew and hope you have a GREAT DAY!!!! even though you were only one when i left...

Conference Weekend

HELLO FAMILY, So this week was another super awesome week down.. i can happily say that we are working like mad down here in one of the best countries in the world. I love this place.. i really don't want to go back to speaking English.. i feel like when we speak in English with the other Americans i feel like my English is terrible, and i don't look forward to speaking! ughhh. I feel a whole lot more comfortable speaking in sacrament meeting in Spanish than I have ever felt in English... but whatever.. I love the mission and I can say that this week we were able to find two new families.. But we are going to see if they are interested. We were able to help and teach the investigators that we have.. right now we are helping hna dora because she knows the church is true but doesn't want to get baptized.. She feels like it is too fast.... but we are really working on helping her understand. The conference was awesome if you ask me, i feel like each one of the talks was specifically for each person.. it is incredible how in two days they can reach every person for at least one thing, if and only if we attend all of the conference.. If we don't it is likely that we missed something really important!!! I love this gospel and I love being here working with my companion to find the people that really really need MY help.. I know this is the true church and the gospel has been restored so that we can have true happiness.

WHAT IT DO FAMILY!!! So this week family as we all know passed by really fast and i am happy to say that things are going really well.. we were able to find two more people and put them with baptismal dates for the 27 of october..they are really cool and they are both completing the commitments and doing all that we tell them that they need to do.. except for the most important one, coming to church.. they didnt make it yesterday and we dont know why but we will know more on them tonight.. it was kinda sad that they didnt make it.. the person that is helping us with them said that she did all that she could but they didnt want to get out of bed.. they are her cousins.. alvaro and sebastian.. one of them is 14 and the other is 11 but they are solid..we just need to improve a couple more things here. Elder Romero is really cool, we teach really well together.. we have been able to help some people that are going through some really big problems in this week.. it is really different being companions with someone who has more time in the mission and that can teach. because i havent had a companion that had experience teaching since elder tani,, so it is really cool teaching in unity down here. we are working the hardest we can.. we are also animating the youth to go on missions, having them come with us to visit and being part of some of our lessons.. this has been really cool. I love this work and these next five weeks are going to be really great in the work.. I love you all so much and hope that you have another great week!!! love Elder Farr+Orth+Whitehead+Farah+Future Whitehead = AWESOME

Well Family, So this week was really awesome!! Not gonna lie, one of the coolest in a long time. So last week as you remember we were left with a "to be continued"... on the hna lidia.. well we went through the week on a day to day basis..(and in the sports world the whole day to day thing I never liked, because my favorite player normally didn't play when he was day to day). but the great news is even still on day to day basis, she came to the 2 appointments we had.. then she said that she would have the interview for her baptism, but that she still wasn't sure if she was ready. Her thing wasn't that she didn't want to get baptized it was more that she wanted more time. at the same time she understood that we weren't pressuring her, but that she was the one that put the goal for her baptism..so she was like ya i am thinking about it non stop... and so on Friday morning she got to her interview 2 hours late, but she got there... and then after the interview she was like.. i am a little more sure.. but she wasn't 100 percent.. she said ya i will call you tonight to tell you what time tomorrow would work best for me... we were like uh ok..the whole day we were just waiting for her call to tell us what time..then at 1000 that night she called and was like ya i want to be baptized. it was great so her baptism was set for 1 o clock which didn't give us much time to coordinate her baptism, but we did what we could..then she ended up getting there around three, but the good news is that she got there and it was awesome!  

Lidia's Baptism

This week we found six new people and we found the families I said we were going to find.. so that was good. I'm telling you, I don't lie, all i can say is that when things don't work out they will later... haha but my companion got changed it was sad but my new companion is awesome!! his name is elder romero he is from columbia, he entered the field with me, we were in ica together and we are really cool together.. we are going to work super hard in this change and it will be really fun. I am not district leader the mission has turned the corner and passed all leadership possissions.. (that is spelled terribly) but i honestly have no idea how to spell it... hahahaha to all the young missionaries.. with 6 months to a year basically.. so all is well.. i love this place i love you all.. I know the holy ghost really does work in the hearts of the people when they really do ponder on the things that we are able to share with them. good to hear all is well at home and well have another great week.... Love Elder Farr+Orth+Whitehead+Farah+ Future Whitehead=AWESOME

Corey's Birthday Week

Michael, Elder Herrera, Gallegos Family

Wow Family so another one down,,,, So this week went by really fast!! we have been fighting with one of our investigators to get her ready for baptism on the 22 or this week... and well she was super high in spirits 2 weeks ago... it was awesome.. then we told her that she had to tell her husband that she was going to get baptized and all her animos went down like a rock in the ocean... because her husband is ridiculous and loves video games more than his family and gets angry.. and urrrrrghhh. its annoying.. but yesterday she came to church with a dress and everything!! super happy and full of animos out of nowhere!!! it was awesome.. and so from what we know she is going to be getting baptized this week.. pray for her... her name is lidia.. she is awesome.. her husband not awesome.. and then we are really working on finding 3 families.. this week we found one, but the other 2 couldnt meet with us for the appointments, but we are going to meet with them this week, and they will be awesome.. This is pretty crazy not gonna lie my companion and i are really trying to find some people to teach. I would like to send a shout out to my buddy ryan, I love you brother and i know that you learned what you needed to learn in the mission. I think that with your time in the mission you were able to obtain a testimony of the truthfulness of the message that we share with the world. that is what the Lord really wanted to help you with!! You are a great friend and you have always helped me be better, and thank you for always being there for me. you are a great example ryan, and now i believe you have have a strong testimony.. I love you brother!!! and lastly i would like to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! BIG BROTHER... i cant believe you're so old.. oh just kidding! i can believe it seein how since i was a little lad.. you were old..hahaha i am funny.. but hope all is well and hope that you have an awesome birthday tomorrow.. i want you to know that you have been a great example for me and i love you brother. i am really really happy that you came back to live at home with me, and teach me and give me the opportunity to baptize you.. it was an experience i will never forget.. it was 5 years ago this week if i am not mistaken... or 4 years ago.. not exactly sure.. but i will never forget the experience.. you are a great brother and here shortly a great dad!!!
