There goes 2 years

WELL I WAS GOING TO WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS TO TELL YOU THIS BUT WITH THIS CHRISTMAS BONUS CHECK WE´LL BE PUTTING IN A POOL........ YUP THIS IS IT, THIS IS THE BIG ONE....haha or something along those lines.. sorry if i am a little bit off but i havent seen the movie in two years.. Wow so there goes two years..... this week we will pass the 2 year mark for my farewell and the 2 year mark from when i started.. nuts....but hey this week went pretty well, we have been preparing the people for baptism and we are really really trying to help 2 people make it to baptism in this week, jazmin and darsy.. it would be really cool to help both of them make it.. jazmin is a sure thing but darsy is a little bit unsure... but we really are working on finding the people and i know that it will not be easy but we are really really trying to finish off these weeks with all the strength that i have got.. i love this area and it will not be easy to say goodbye to all these people.. it is unbelievable how much has happened!!! life is nuts!! well we are in the last email.. i love this gospel... there really is nothing like it and i know that when i get home i dont want to leave my bubble.. i am so happy i have the best family that is always there to support me and i love how much you have all taught me in my life before the mission and also how much i have learned from each of you still being in the mission.. I have learned that i have a testimony of the gospel and i know that my family is the reason that i have been able to have such a good life. This really is unbelievable that it took leaving my family for two years to really really really appreciate them.. i have always loved my family for being awesome and fun and hilarious but now i know that the gospel is the motor for the boat.. I love you all and thank you for all the support you have given me in my mission.. I hope that we all may continue our progress in life together and read and have a good time as a family all the time.!! well i guess that would be alll right??? i love you tons and i will be talking to you later..........

Hello Family.. So today family i am in an internet place and the keyboard bites... so if i dont write very much that is not my fault.. haha but this week was another stellar week. we were able to have another baptism, hna Dora got to the water. let me tell ya she is 62 but she looks like shes 80. well when she felt the water she gave me a stern look and i talked her into the water. but boy was it freezing cold...hahaha holy cow i was doing all i could to not shiver when she was in the water. after i had finished the prayer i was waiting for her to take a breath but she couldnt because she was so cold, but in fin she took her breath and got dunked.. so it was a really cool experience because we have been working with her since i got here. so it was really cool to see her make the decision and be the example for her family..now we are working on her two daughters and her grandson... little by little..one of the daughters is preparing for the 3 of november.. we are hoping she stays strong and the other one says in december.. so ya not to likely ill be here for that one.. but the important part is that they make the decision..so in these days we were able to have some great lessons. the other family from last week that didnt come to church was able to make it this week. so that was great.. and they also have a baptismal date for the 3rd. we are really excited for them.. The work is progressing and the time isnt stopping.. i am thinking my next email will probably be my last and that is a pretty interesting thought eh...i love this work and i love peru it is so awesome and the people are so loving. it is just really easy to talk to whomever.. i love being able to teach the gospel and study the scriptures in the morning..it really is the way to start off a day... cant believe it but ...... Love Elder Farr+Orth+Whitehead+Farah+Future Whitehead=AWESOME

New Investigators

great new investigators.. 6 to be exact and 3 of them came to church and the rest will be coming next week.. we are also setting up for another baptism here this week.. 
hna dora..
Baptism of Hna Dora

she is pretty awesome.. she is a little bit older but she is pretty hilarious.. she didn't tell us but this week she gave up drinking alcohol.. she didn't know the drink she had was alcoholic, she just used it because when she had food stuck in her throat or when she felt full she would drink one and then she was all good.. haha it was pretty funny her reaction but ya she is going to be baptized on saturday.. she needs to have her interview still but she is really pretty awesome.. her family is also really cool but they are progressing a little bit slower, but they are working and going little by little.. life really has started to go a whole bunch faster in these last couple weeks, all the investigators that we have been working so hard to help progress are finally moving... so that is awesome!! the gospel really does bless families.. i have seen it in two families in just this week.. this area i have really learned how finding families really is what makes the missionary work move.. this gospel is incredible... i love you all so much for being their and supporting me in the mission and always helping me be excited about the work.. I have learned a lot here and i love my area and the people we have been getting to know these days.. Love Elder Farr+Orth+Whitehead+Farah+Future Whitehead=AWESOME Trenton happy birthday!!! you are an awesome nephew and hope you have a GREAT DAY!!!! even though you were only one when i left...
