Chicken Pox Week 8/29/2011

ALRIGHTY THEN FAMILY..
WELL THIS WEEK WAS THE WEEK OF CHICKEN POX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ya you were all out on the lake enjoying your time, living it up, and having fun and i was quite literally stuck in bed and could not do anything.. so i will give you the nice quick update of what i could do this week before i was forced into the room for the week.. So to start last week we went to pisco for p day where elder carter was.. but to my dismay he had an emergency change to lima two weeks ago so I didnt get to see him in that moment. we played soccer with them and i thought it went pretty well. all of the other missionaries were saying i needed to call hna manning and so i did later that day, and i dont think she was happy i waited so long but i dont like to call people when i am sick. i just take the pills i want too.. ibuprofen.. and they work like a charm. anyways all went well and then on wednesday we had a reunion in lima.. now this reunion was a little bit special because Elder Neil L. Anderson came to visit all the missionaries in lima south central and west.. so we got to go and listen to him tell us that what they want for us is to first gain a testimony of Jesus Christ' meaning all that we ask the people to do for the book of mormon.. read about him. he told us to read all the new testament. then ponder about what we read, and lastly pray and ask if its true. it was really cool because it was less on missionary work directly. it was all about gaining stronger testimonies on the things that we teach. for a couple of reasons. to make sure when we finish we will always remember. and second. if we have stronger testimonies on the topic we will only be able to teach and testify of these things so much stronger and with a much more assurity??.. i think that is the word.. But i loved that talk that he left with us and then we got to talk to all the people we could find and guess what there was the whole group, all of us together.. church carter stanfield mckinnley merrit and i... it was awesome. they are all doing really well and elder merritt is like a stick... he got sick in nazca and thinned up good.. haha anyway hopefully things get better this week...in the health, but i love it out here and i love my companion and how he helps me.. Love you all so much and take care...
Love your favorite Elder Farr+Moore+Orth+future Waite...=Awesome...
