HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOREY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was going to wish you Happy Birthday last week but it just seemed like a really long wait for your birthday which was yesterday!! So from what i hear it was pretty sweet, you got to eat some pretty awesome food.
But from there i too got a pretty cool present for your birthday. it turns out that peru had a peru conference, they tried to say it was stake conference, but it was really just general conference short version for Peru.. you know why because it was a member of the 70, it was julie b beck, it was d todd cristofferson, and lastly it was you guessed it President Thomas S. Monson.. It was awesome all of Peru had the same conferance where the prophet and apostle and others were basically telling peruvians to work harder in missionary work, and then telling them that coming to the church one time a month is not being a member... haha it was awesome because it was so direct for all of them to start trying in missionary work to bring the less actives back to the church.. it was legit, not gonna lie. i took 2 pages of notes at a stake conference and i can honestly say that was a first in my life. So after this conference we had 3 youth want to come with us. so my companion and I split up and had a few more lessons than we were going to have. It really was a cool session and great prep for general conference that is coming yet again so we can learn even more!! I am so pumped to get to listen to the prophets again in two weeks, gosh i love my mission and my new country... haha
Next on the week we had the chance to find 4 new investigators. we have the hermana isabel who is 100 percent ready for her baptism, which means i am pumped because we haven't had a baptism here in this area yet. after her we have the other girl yasmin but she is never home when we go to pick her up to come to church, but this week we had a really good lesson with her to resolve her doubts and so we feel really good about her. at the same time we aren't sure if she wants to come to church so that is kinda sad. this week i was studying in the new testament and for the first time in my life i have made it to matthew 10, now i just want to say that is sad on my part, but it is really awesome because i have used those chapters in my lessons tons this week i would now recommend studying the new testament because that is what Elder Neil A Anderson told us that we should do. i can now testify that it is true because it really helps build your testimony of our savior, Jesus Christ. I feel so good just going out this week and i actually contacted them with, hi I am elder farr and i am from the one true church in the world and i am here to share the truth with you.. it was awesome and yes we actually got into two houses with that. Me and my companion are doing well and i love this gospel and i am learning so much reading new things, that i never would have thought of reading before this week. I hope that you can all help in the missionary work whether it be bring someone back to church who is a little less active, or heck talk to some random person and tell them a little about the gospel and they could easily accept cause it is true.. I love all you so much and hope you have an awesome week. your favorite elder
