Elder Austin Farley: Week 2

Dear Mom,

I am glad you got to hear about it from both sides! I made sure that I was the first person Andrew would see on MTC grounds, I talk to him every single day and we play Tennis on our seperate P-days since we have gym on the others P-day. I honestly don't like the sisters in my district that much because they constantly accuse me of stuff that makes absolutely no sense like if they see me say hi to Hannah and talk about some stuff like our weeks and what is going on back home then they accuse me of flirting and threaten to tell the Mission President for disciplinary action. My companion is easier to get along with so it isn't that bad. My teacher is awesome and he used to be our fake investigator. His name is Fabien Monroy. I would honestly love a few cookbooks and anything else you would deem useful. It is a Balmy 65 degrees constantly here with hard rain showers at around 5-6 and Lubbock is the same temperature as back home according to the weather gadget on the computer so I love the weather here.

I would love to hear how the opening of the new location goes. I appreciate that you waited 2 weeks to replace me with a horse ;) Tell Bryn and Brie that I hope that they will do good the entire season! I am sorry to hear about Grandma Heath and I am happy that she found happiness in Heaven.

That is great! I have been praying for Caden to heal faster so I guess that is helping! It takes about 2 full weeks to receive letters in Mexico due to Custom checks (dumb i know). You should be receiving letters for other people because I forgot their address, one should be arriving to you as well. Make sure they get those letters by checking my school planner for their addresses. Haha, I guess she got over her fear of water while I was gone!

My Spanish is coming in really well and I have successfully memorized over 800 spanish words and phrases and it always bugs my district that I can go through a giant stack of cards without taking more than 5 seconds on one. We wrote a parody to Do you Want to Build a Snowman called DO YOU WANT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL! It is going to be a hit once we film it! We got a new set of investigators and It is fun talking with them!

I also had to act as a translator for everyone during the Service activity since I was quite literally the only one out of 45 kids that could understand what the Janitor was saying because he was speaking so fast! So I got out of doing work and just translated whatever he felt necessary to say.

It is awesome here and I want to hear whatever you have to say about back home! I love you guys and all of you are in my prayers!

Love, Your Missionary
