Haha not really my party and i am pretty sure i spelled that wrong but i am wearing my tie and i am rolling on cause i am awesome!! Alright so this week was awesome we were teaching all week. hno pedro that we were going to baptize last week had to work. we couldn't find him all week, he was at work a ton.. So on saturday at like 230 we went there and his nephew told us he should be getting home soon. so we went and called our mission leader and said we weren't sure if he was getting baptized today or not but better safe then sorry.. so he went to set up the font and everything like that.. Well we went back to his house at 630 and he was there!! so we were like so you are still getting baptized today right, and he was like of course what would i be doing home if not... and so we had his baptism at 8 o´clock. it was pretty funny because the first time i put him under he put both of his feet above water. i dont know how, it was like he was super trusting me and just layed out and both his feet left the water so we got to do it again.. it was pretty hilarious!! But other than that this week we were talking to a bunch of new people and being awesome!! so after one day of talking we had like 6 appointments set up for this upcoming week.. i am kinda excited for a few of those.. Also hna amelia and hna Juana are advancing a ton on their marriage.. so we are expecting their baptisms in not too much time.. Also we have a little girl we are teaching, she is 10 and we are straight up rolling with her... she has her baptism set for the fourth but i think we are going to push it back because there will not be church on the 5th or the 12th. well it will be on the 12th but it is stake conference so she wont be able to receive the holy ghost until the 19th. so we might just put her baptism for the 18th still not sure about it... but this week we were just working hard and teaching those people. Also we have two new investigators and they are both rolling as well but i just want to say that i love it here this area is awesome and i know that it is where i need to be. i have so much love for the ward and our investigators. it is crazy and i only have 2 months in this area but it seems like so much more time.. i love this church and know that we can all know it
is true if we just read the book of mormon and pray to know. we will receive a response and it will be good.. I love you all so much and enjoy the wedding and reception.. take pictures and do some dancing for me..
Love your Favorite Brother Elder Farr+Moore=Awesome

Wendy Farr to Amy, Andrea, alex, Brian, Brinly, Jeff, Kevin, Corey, Kelliann, Carrie
show details May 16 (1 day ago)
Wowsers what an Awesome weekend Family!!
Well i am going to start off by saying Happy Birthday Grandma and well
i will also say my brother is getting married in a week.. Haha and
then the next part. So last week i got my new companion in my area
which meant that i get to direct the area and all of that. we are co
companions so we both make the decisions and just kinda roll on
together. but ya he came from the south and since the first day he was
sick with the gripe. ya he likes to spit his flem on the floor of
the house and blow his nose on the floor and it is just a little bit
gross but ya.. he is getting better and does that stuff less now.. but
ya it was a little bit interesting this first week. Also we had all
our nice investigators and they all like him but all expressed sadness
that Elder Rivasplata left. But this week was pretty good with my
companion being sick we had 28 lessons which was a little lower but
still awesome!! So this week we have been teaching hna juana and hna
amelia a ton. the both of them have all their papers to be
married and are going to get er done in one of these next two weeks..
also we had the entrevista for hno pedro and he is going to be
baptized this week because he had to work yesterday and saturday, so he
couldnt be baptized saturday.. but that will be cool and i get to
baptize him, so i am excited for all of that. overall this week was
more for the investigators to get used to my new companion. but life is
rolling and ya I HAD MY FIRST DIET COKE IN 160 DAYS!!! What an awesome
week....but more than that i had the opportunity to guide the lessons
a little bit more, and when you need to guide the lessons i think you
are just more in tune with the spirit and listening more to what the
investigators say because it was like i knew what i needed to teach
and how to teach it. if i am not listening ya i get lost and cant
follow the spirit.. there is a crazy difference when following the
spirit and not following the spirit.. I love this gospel and being
here.. I hope this week goes a little bit smoother than last week and
just know that i am praying for your safety and happiness at all
times.. love you so much and i would be nowhere without you all...

After Mother's Day Call
Alright well it was super awesome talking to you all this week!! This week was awesome, but the sad news of the week is that my companion got changed! Now I have a new companion named Elder Serrano.. he seems pretty chill, and I have a first question for each of my companions.. it is .. Do you like sports or art.. as of now the companion that liked art I had an ok relationship with, and the one that liked sports was awesome!.. My new companion likes sports, so we will see how it goes, but ya it seems like it should be alright. This week we had only 25 lessons because my companion didnt really want to teach the last two days. He wanted to say goodbye to his converts in the area.. but it was another great week! We have one of our investigators set for baptism this week in Hermano Pedro and he is reading the Book of Mormon like crazy. He is awesome. Then hopefully this week we can get Hna. Amelia and Juana married so we can get them baptized, because they are both ready for baptism just need to be married.. I dont have much time to write so this letter will be short because I was waiting for my companion to arrive until 11. Then we got here late so I cant write a ton but, ya life is rolling and flying by.. just need to enjoy the spirit in our lives and all is going to be awesome. While I was talking to Korey I realized that starting your day off with a little scripture study is awesome.. it just seems to start the day off with a spiritual boost... but that is my spiritual experience for the time being.. Well that is all for now.. love you tons and I will talk to you again next week..

Wow!!
Well this week consisted of yes another bundle of lessons that are just ridiculously awesome because me and my companion are completely cool with our people and know how to talk to them. This area in V.E.S is so cool and the people are so much more humble and willing to listen and i love seeing the change in people. I loved Surco and my ward members there but man this area tops it by 30 investigators and the ward and leaders are so much more active in the missionary work. Well this week we completed our personal goal of 35 lessons! which is yes a personal best! It was awesome, although we didn't baptize anyone this week we did set baptisms for the 7th, 14th, and 21st of this month. One of our investigators named Pedro was a dud for my first two weeks and then all of a sudden decided he would try to do what we asked him. the last three weeks he has been rolling and is set for baptism in 3 weeks. haha... also this week we got to teach 6 new investigators.. Now the first one was a little girl like 12 years old who lives with her cousin, who is a member. she is just trying to learn and then says she wants to be baptized in a couple weeks because she loves how her cousin is and wants to be like her.. this girl is really smart she has read all of first Nephi and it has only been a week. she seems like she understands what we are saying to her. it is crazy how many little kids want to know the truth and the true church. Then we were teaching one of our older investigators Carmen and she is set for baptism the 21st, so that is awesome. but wait during our lesson with her the other day she brought 2 friends to listen.. one of which came back for the second lesson yesterday. her name is Veronica and she is really interested in repentance and changing her life and doing more of what the Lord wants for her. so we taught her and it was just really cool how she reacted, she was really listening to the words we were saying, and she is going to keep listening! we are excited about her. Then on Wednesday we went to a person me and my district leader contacted and we went in and sung the hymn, i know that my reedemer lives,, ya she was crying by the third verse.. it is awesome how strong the spirit is in this area and how strong it can really be in our lives when we try to live right. As long as we are keeping the commandments and reading the words that are here for us we will have so much more of an understanding of the gospel. i learned this week how to use the footnotes in the book of mormon.. now i mean i knew how to use them, but i never really used them and learned the bible and that kind of stuff. but it is crazy how much the bible says that people just don't understand!! Then lastly,,last night we went to another guy that wanted to talk to us about the bible.. well we were talking to him but he was doing all the talking about the bible and saying prophets couldn't have been in the Americas. that would just be ridiculous so after about fifteen minutes i stood up, cause we were outside sitting down but he was standing, and just told him look our message is that we have the gospel of Jesus Christ in the world. we are the same church Christ established when he was here, and we are here to share the message that God restored this church and prophets to help us in our crazy world. then we gave him a book of mormon and said if you want to know the truth read this..and so ya we will see how that goes. but, you gotta be bold to be out here and that is what I did yesterday... I felt like kevin convincing someone of something... it was weird but cool..
