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
