Alrighty then family!!
So it really is incredible to me to know that i have now been out
here in the mission for over ya 4 months. Time is flying and out in the
field it is flying like a jet, which is about 3 times faster than a
normal plane i am going to say. also this week i looked at a calender
and thought to myself, it has been a long time since i had a diet
coke... well i counted how many days it has really been and guess
what?? I have now passed the 100 day mark of not having a diet coke. i
feel like i am in one of those help groups.. also i would just like to
say that i had no problems with it and everyone always said that i
wouldnt be able to go without.
Also this month we have had 3 little earthquakes.. i slept through
two of them and during the third we were walking. And for your information.. Before the earthquake in chili a couple years ago-- the last major earthquake in that area was 40 years before.. the last major earthquake in ica, peru before that one was 40 years before. and now the fun part,,, the last major earthquake in the lima area is 40 years ago this year! so all the people are scared we are going to have an earthquake, it really is all people have talked to us about this week.
And so this week was a little bit interesting. Me and my companion are
doing great together and ya we are really good friends, but we do have
very different personalities which makes me happy, if i can get along
with him. So this week we were working really hard and every single
person we tried to contact was just like ya no esta bien i don't want
to talk to you right now. not kidding all of them it was horrible in
that sense. But also this week we set up another baptism for the 19th
of this month so that is really exciting. it is a fat little nice man
name julio. He is cool and his life has blown up because he told his
wife he had an affair a couple years back, so that he could truly
repent, she left him.... ya it is pretty crazy. also we had more lessons this week than last week which was great because in the lessons i can speak whatever i want to. It is like hey your in a lesson and now you can talk better in spanish then in english.. it is awesome! i love it here and i totally know that this is where i need to be and that the spirit really does guide you when you are worthy to have it with you, and you are praying for some help. i do not want to be anywhere else right now because this is a challenge and i like to be challenged to see what i can handle. this area is rich people that think they have it all but i know that they don't, and i need to break their walls down with the help of the spirit and that means i need to live straight up awesome.. it is like my favorite song right now says.. "there are a bunch of people out there just waiting for what we can give em` Truth, Freedom, Saaalvation!! we are not the ordinary fearlessly extraordinary workin righteouss......." Saturdays Warrior..
Also i want to say happy birthday to Granpa, Carrie, and Alex because
you have all had crazy impacts in my life which has led me to this
point in life and i just want to thank you for all you have done for
me.
Love you tons your favorite Elder FarrmooreAwesome!!
