Easter Week

Wowsers..
So there goes another week.. it started yesterday and ended today! my companion and i had another sweet week. we pulled 30 lessons again which is awesome! this week we were teaching a sister that we baptized on saturday, so that was awesome. My companion baptized her which was cool because he has been teaching her his whole time in this area. he said when they started teaching her she didn't want to hear about the gospel at all, but her mom was listening so she started listening, and ya she is baptized and awesome.

Also this week we found four new investigators that we can teach and now we have a bunch of people to teach. it is crazy! i would write names but it would take way to long. This week was the semana santa and i don't remember celebrating that in america, all i know we celebrate is easter. they have some crazy parade thing in my city with like a remake of the crucifixion of Christ,, it was crazy, the people put on roman clothes and had 2 crosses that they put on a hill. all the people were at the bottom of the hill crying. it was really weird.. unfortunately i did not have my camera to take a picture for you. but the rest of the week was more preparing people for baptism and setting up dates for it. My companion and I are getting along awesome and i love the way he teaches and the opportunity i have to learn from him. this place is legit and it will be one of my favorite areas and companions. I cant believe it has almost been six months. that is crazy! it feels like nothing and i am a quarter of the way done. i am so excited to be here and teaching all the people in spanish. i love the missionary scriptures that talk about how the lamanites will receive the gospel and flourish and i can say that it is so true. also in my study this week i read in alma 53:10 it is an awesome verse that talks about the power a missionary can teach with.. i love this gospel! i know that if a person wanted to give it a chance they would come to know that it is true, and recognize it is the plan they accepted before this world was. they just need to let it into their hearts..
Love your favorite elder farrmooreawesome...
