Birthday Week!

What it is.. So family this week was awesome!!! We were able to visit a whole bunch of members because we are really trying to work on getting the branch back to what is should be at right... like last week if you remember there were 87 people and after much work this week we were able to visit a whole bunch of families from the ward some of which have been coming to church in these weeks, and others which have not been.. so we were able to go and find a family that lives like 10 minutes out of mala that is a family of 7 that all of which are members except the dad and we started teaching them a little bit in the week and on saturday we went and told them that we could send a member to go and pick them up in his bus and the dad who isnt member....yet.... said no we will go on our own dont worry.. and guess what... they got there at 850.. so not only they got there, but they got there early!! THAT NEVER HAPPENS IN PERU!!! not kidding it doesnt work to be early on peruvian standard time.... so the dad isnt member because well he said he hasnt felt a response but we might be getting somewhere because in the time when his family got baptized 8 months ago he never went to church but yesterday after one week of visiting him and his family again they all came.. how sweet is that!! i know.. super sweet.. also this week we were visiting two other families that were able to come to church and so that was really cool also because we were able to have a total of 112 people in our super little church... i know we are awesome!! I cant believe how fast this week passed to be honest i feel like i was here yesterday.. and today we are going to go down to my old stomping ground in chincha to play soccer against them... and bonus point elder hernandez is in my old area in chincha which makes it even cooler to go back there..so ya i dont know what else to say really.. well one more thing is that carolina and yamile are going to be getting baptized on saturday which will be really cool.. they are both super awesome and have passed many trials in their lives so it is even more fun to see good things happening to them.. and yes for the few that remember that is my birthday..and yes for the fewer that remember that is the day that i got baptized thirteen years ago in lake powell.. so it will be cool to have a baptism that day.. i am excited.. Well i know this work is true and that when we work with the members everything changes in missionary work.. we only have 8 investigators but we are helping build the foundations of the branch here for the future missionaries..but it will all be worth it.. I love this place and the people that i know.. this mission is the best and i have learned so much being out here and participating in the work of the lord as president monson said in his talk last conferance.and i know that we can all be a part of this work.. I love you all so much and hope you have another awesome week!!! Love your favorite Elder Farr+Moore+Orth+Waite+Whitehead+Farah+Future Whitehead=AWESOME
