Transfer day--New Comp. Elder Guzman

What it is!!! Well family this week was actually really good. We were able to baptize hno elmers brother and his mom, and another one of our investigators so that was awesome! Hno elmer baptized his mom so that was a really good experience for him. It was really good we had some really good lessons and we found some great new people to teach in this week. We found three new families but we still havent been able to teach the whole family together so that is what we are working on. I got a new companion this change,!! i am happy not going to lie.. i didnt get along bad with my companion elder lopez but it wasnt very happy and fun like it has been in the past, but i know my companion and i have known him since we started, his name is elder guzman and he is another peruvian companion which is awesome.. and well that is pretty much all for this week sorry this is a short letter but i hope you all know that i love you and that you are all the best and i know that this is the best time in the world and i love the mission..i will have a great week and hope that you guys do too..

Couple day of the flu!

Well family this one is going to be really quick... This week was kinda lame me and my comp both got hit with the flu but for me no big deal just keep rolling with my two mottoes... i don't get sick i only get more awesome... and fight on.....but my companion on the other hand reminds me of someone i used to know that every time she got sick it was like the world was ending and she couldn't do anything... that was my companion this week.. haha we didn't leave the room for two days because he wanted to stay in bed and called the office and was exaggerating his symptoms and i was like yup those are the symptoms of the flu,, but whatever..haha so we found two people this week but we will see if they progress.. and Elmer's family is doing well but his 13 year old sister is putting up a wall like she has problems with what we teach.. but she wont tell us what.. so we are trying to work with her.. I love this mission and i know that my faith has grown just being here and learning more about the scriptures. I love how the scriptures explain so perfectly the atonement of Christ. Just remember at all times that Christ suffered for EVERYTHING... not just our sins or the wrong things we do but EVERYTHING, he suffered our sorrows, our pain, our sicknesses, AND THE LIST GOES ON TO EVERYTHING. He is our Savior we can rely on him in every difficulty that we pass. I know that life is a roller coaster and that it just keeps on going and there will always be ups and downs so if we are in a down we can only go back up.. hahaha i love you all so much and i love the support that you all give me on a weekly rate.. have a great week and i will too. Love Elder Farr+Moore+Orth+Waite+Whitehead+Future Farah+Whitehead=AWESOME

Zone Conference and last meeting with President Manning

Well folks there goes one more.... So this week was full of interesting stuff.. so we have some really good investigators, i would just like to share one of those stories really quickly, so we were visiting with our investigator Indira, she is 17 years old and she moved to Mala with her 14 year old sister a year or so back because her step dad tried to do something very wrong with her little sister so to protect her sister she came here... not to mention that her mom wasn't even upset with her new husband so she is still with him in Lima, anyways we were meeting with hna Indira and she told us that her mom told her that she will not break the family chain of Catholicism.. who know how to spell that, and then told her that she couldn't listen to us, and then hit her, and then says other things to ruin this girls life, and then this girl told her mom that she is going to do what God wants her to do. And then she came to the lesson we had with her and then after she went and was with her cousin and a christian guy came and started talking to them and he asked her what church she went to and she said well 'm not baptized in any church but I am going to be baptized in the Mormon church then the guy got all angry and was like why would you do that?? and then he was like don't you know that Mormon means enter the gates of hell?? and she thought to herself,, how could it have to do with that if all they talk to me about is knowing the truth of how much God loves me.. and so she left him there... haha that was awesome. unfortunately on Saturday her mom and step-dad came down and told her again that she couldn't listen to us and then they took her to Lima and every time we have called her her step-dad answers and says she isn't there.. so we are scared for her because she is super awesome but has so many challenges in her life right now it is really hard for her to progress but we know she can.. she has so much faith and just wants to follow the truth. To be honest that was our week, we have the family of hno Elmer and they are all a lot closer to being baptized here on the 23. they are all awesome and they all have some really good questions and hno Elmer is the bomb, he is there trying to help them but when he doesn't know the answer they ask us... i am pretty sure here in a year or so Elmer will be heading out on the mission.. he is so boss.. it is hilarious.. I love this area and all of the people that i have had the chance to know here in Mala.. i would love to stay here until the end of my mission to get to see all of these people progress and know the truth and get to accept it and be baptized in the truth. I love this gospel and all that we get to share with the people. I know that the spirit really does guide us when we depend on him! God does love each one of his children and pleads them to just be obedient so that he can bless them.. he will bless us when we are obedient but when we aren't we don't have any promise... its as simple as that.. the gospel isn't complex its simple so that a little child can understand it.... I love you all so much and i love this work and being a part of this place.. Love Elder Farr+Moore+Orth+Waite+ Whitehead+Future Farah+Whitehead=AWESOME

Working it in Mala, loving it!

Well Family another week bites the dust!! so this week family was good but no real huge news.. same ol same ol.. we were able to find 5 new people to teach and they were all pretty solid and hno elmer was like hey now that you have answered all of my questions you need to help my family so that they can know it is true also.. and so that is pretty awesome.. so we went and have been visiting them and they are all pretty solid.. his mom doesnt know very much because she hasnt been very educated but she is a good lady and she is happy to start listening and then she came to church with her daughter and hno elmer but his brother didnt come because he was asleep. so that was kinda sad..haha and also we were able to put baptismal dates for the 23 of this month with all of his family and two more investigators.. so it is really awesome here in mala.. we are finding people that want to get baptized and know the truth so we really are progressing.. haha i love it here and i know that this is where the lord wants and needs me.. i would love to be here until the end of my mission just working and finding people to teach and getting them to find the truth in our church.. that here for now is just a house.. but we are going to be getting a chapel here in the next year.. so that makes us happy.. i love this work and i love you all for supporting all this time.. you are all the best in the world and hope you continue having an awesome time on the home front..
