Howdy Hoe familia!!
Alright so this week was a good week it started off going just like last week it was so fast and we were just teaching a bunch of lessons and talking to people. It was so much fun but on friday my companion came down with the flu so the next few days were slow.
We found our hermano that we live with is smoking in the bathroom like a bunch it is so gross. in one of our trips to the apartment because my companion cant walk for too long, he was in there and i dont think he knows he is smoking because he lights these inscense things but it stinks to high heaven. kelli would have died in there the other day it was horrible.
This week we should have a baptism his name is andre crisostomo and he is turning 8,and he is wants to get baptized like his older siblings. his parents arent baptized so it should just be him. we are trying to teach the family more. but we will see how that goes. also we are teaching another family the miguels and they are actually progressing it seems but they need to get some marriage papers done and they say they are working on them.
So this week the spanish switch flickered a couple of times one time while i was reading i wasnt even realizing it but i was understanding it.. and then in one of our lessons i was understanding the whole lesson and attempting to speak more. but then there were other times where i had no idea what in the world was going on. oh and my companion said he was hungry last night so we went back at 8.. he didnt eat he climbed in bed and fell asleep.. so i made me some pancakes, read a little bit, then got in bed because there was nothing i could do.

A quick week!

What up Familia!!!
How goes it this awesome week?? So this week was pretty intense.. it was actually really awesome! we taught a bunch of lessons including like three lessons to this one family and then they came to church with us on sunday.. they are really cool and one of them has a baptismal date set for the 29. the other ones arent sure yet if they want to. but the mom and dad need to be married and they also arent sure if they want to or not. So this week i also decided that i really like my companion. last week was just getting used to the area and the people so it was just slow for the both of us. my companion teaches me a ton and helps me with my spanish which i think is coming along slowly.. There were a couple of lessons where i was actually understanding what was going on and once with that family the crisostomos, are their names, we were talking about marriage and how it is needed. i said something that made sense and bore my testimony and all that jazz and it was just really cool. i can tell i am getting better at it but ya it is hard.. which i expected because i dont know how someone could think it would be easy to pull down a brand new language..So this week went by like rocket fast. we were just doing the work and all of a sudden it was sunday again and p day today. i hope that all weeks can feel this productive. So dont really have any cool stories this week like a little kid getting machettied, but i dont know if i want to have that kinda thing happening. also i got a new idea with my agendas and i am putting pictures of every prophet on each new one. so if you could send hard copies of john taylors and wilford woodruffs most popular talks or things they did that would be cool because they come up in three weeks and i would like to put stuff on there.. i will send pictures another week so you can see what i mean.. Also i got a letter today from curt and jillyn. it was an awesome christmas card. i love getting christmas cards so i can keep the pictures in my book of mormon. anyway that was all for this week and i love it here. I know that these are the people i am supposed to be teaching, and that even this area is where i was needed in the beginning of my mission. the members help me so much and i love the people. i also learned why jeff says urinate and deficate.. haha much love your favorite elder farrmooreawesome.. haha

First week out.

Alright so it has been a week or so in the field now.. It has been hard but at the same time it has been very refreshing and different. So i got into the field and as i told you we had a baptism for last friday. Her name is Hna maxi and she is a really cool like 50 year old lady and she is just super nice and the bishop baptized her and she came to church on sunday and all went well. Also this week i went and bought a couple things from a store and now i eat pancakes that i make in the mornings after i take my warm shower. So it has been a rollercoaster with the spanish there are days i understand things and days where i am like get me out of here.. not really get me out of here just let me know what you are saying more simply por favor... haha it is just really different. So i have not decided how my companion is yet he teaches me really good things in our study but i dont know if he gets the section in preach my gospel that says hablar con todos.. because his way of talking with everyone is saying hola... he doesnt try to say more than that and that kind of bothers me.. haha but i have decided that this week i am going to change that and i am going to try to talk more myself.. we havent had really any crazy experiences just getting used to the area and being super awesome.. i make my companion pancakes and he likes them but then on the bus he always says that he has no money and makes me pay.. so next time i dont think i will have money and make him pay cause i know he has money. but i just want to say that i love it here and it is straight up fun. I am trying to study all that i can and learn as much spanish as a i can but it is tough and so i read my book of mormon in english side by side with spanish to try to understand.. well i know all is well at home let me know how the big game goes tonight and tell daniel go ducks.. Love you all so much you have no idea when i feel down i think of home and you would think i would feel more down but it actually just calms me.. your favorite elder farrmooreawesome..

Into the mission field

So this week has been crazy.. new year was just like any day and so that wasn't super entertaining. i just had a lot of class. We felt the spirit a ton of course and it was just really cool to be leaving the mtc finally. I got a bunch of your dear elders and i also got letters from greg and syrene and also a letter from ginger.. it was fun to get to read those. they just sent christmas cards and i enjoyed reading them. So yesterday we got into the field met the president and my whole interview was just him getting to know me and he was just really cool and chill, and we talked all about sports and so that was cool that he just wanted to know my personality and stuff. So i had to leave my companion elder vilchez

and that was horrible because he was so awesome and he and i just got along really well. also we had to say goodbye to elder carter elder church and elder merritt,, which was worse because they have been my best friends for the past nine weeks.. Especially elder carter he and I got along great and i know that we will hang out after the mission.

So i have a new companion his name is elder Tello he is from trujillo, Peru. He seems really chill but it is totally different out here.. it is live or die with the language and when they talk about stuff that isnt the gospel it is just rough. kinda like a wave is just crashing down on my head and i cant stop it.. I had one of the wierdest freakiest dreams last night. i was in my area and then all of a sudden i was at the airport at home and i was giving momma bear a hug and then i was like this isnt right and then i woke up and i was in my new bed with no pillow or blanket.. because apparently we dont get those out here.. maybe i will buy a pillow but i dont want to lug around a blanket that is sub par so maybe i will just put on clothes if i need to.. we will see. We are apparently in the second richest neighborhood and it is just crazy. all the people say oh your basically going to the utah part of town where the rich people are and where you will easily adjust. so i am kinda excited about that and all of my friends went far south to the desert where it is just desert and poor.. i will be happy to see them again at some meeting that hopefully comes soon because i have nobody near me.. also i am trying really hard to just learn the language and read the scriptures. anyway even though this is getting harder and harder i know that i am where i need to be and i know that this church is true and the book of mormon is incredible when you actually read and think about all that happened. i love you all and i know that all of you are having an awesome time at home which is sad but at the same time i can say, "ya my family is trying to catch up to me on the awesome scale" haha just kidding.. Love you tons your favorite elder ... Farrmooreawesome.. hahah

After Christmas-1 week left in MTC

So it sounds like Christmas was a blast for you guys! that is great! It was super sad hearing that justins grandpa died. I loved that guy he was so freakin awesome and fun to talk to. I was after all his home teacher and he made sure that we came every month. he was always nice to all of us kids when we would go over to their house, even if it was at 2 or 3 in the morning.. tell the moores that i am praying for them and hope that they are doing good. So the mtc pres called me down to the office and told me that you called and it was just funny! because so your mom called and wanted to know if you have received a notification for a package, and i was like no.. alright thats what i thought and then he was like well i will let her know if she calls again that you say hi.. and i just left. haha loved it! So this week for me consisted of a lot of class time and teaching time. We learned a ton of new things in spanish and that was super cool,, unfortunately we also started learning subjunctive and it stinks because i dont get it.. but none of us do. the problem is that it seems so simple but it is just wierd learning it after everything because it has backward rules. on christmas here they gave us a buffet and it was crazy!! it tasted really good. loved it. and also i opened my package from the whiteheads and so that was fun i would like to thank them for all of that stuff.
good to hear the baby of jessicas and jesses is finally here..i am so happy to be here! it is so much fun and i have learned so much. i have also marked my scriptures for every lesson in preach my gospel and i organized it in my scriptures and it looks amazing and i use it daily.
i know that this church is the true church! i have felt the spirit so much since i have been here and i know the gospel so much better also. it is crazy how much you can learn in such little time. i know that i am where i need to be and i cant wait for next week to be out in the field to really start teaching what i have learned these past eight weeks and my whole life. i love you all and hope you have a happy new year.. Love Elder Farrmooreawesome
