Elder Austin Farley: October 15th... finally got a letter!

Dear Mom,

People here don't really take heed to Antis unless they are one. So I am not worried about that, I am just worried about why people hate us so much. Oh well, I will keep dad in my prayers for sure! I would appreciate you guys sending me a coat because there are no clothing stores in Spearman! I thought it was supposed to be opened last month?(the restaurant in Ogden) Thank you for your gifts! They really help, and a Big Yes to that.(I assume putting money in his account) I need a coat and a NEW BAG. That is right, it broke completely, Here is a picture! I would also like pants that match my Khaki suit. (not really crucial) I have been talking to Hyrum...
I have been spending my money on laundry because the mission didn't give me a pin for the other card until barely!

So what happened this week, I am improving on budgeting so that is good! I (I'm sure he meant The Lord through the priesthood power) healed 2 people within 10 minutes of a blessing and they were 100% free of an extreme fever and flu after I gave the blessing. There is this CD called "They saw our day" which is highly interested that I got to listen to in another companionship's car. It is about how the Native Americans relate their history to the Book of Mormon. If you find one, please send it my way. We are teaching these Methodists who want to be baptized but claim that they already received the gift of the Holy Ghost which is quite the curveball from the usual! I have learned that the quickest way to shut down contention is to ask them to bear their testimony and then bear yours in a non-bashing way. This one guy we found claimed that the Book of Mormon was false because although it may not have been written by Joseph Smith, it was still written by the hand of man because the Nephites wrote it, I then asked him who wrote the Bible and he said that God literally wrote it with his own hand so I left him right then and there...

Elder Barona asked me what Oz stands for when the Pampa Elders told him that they were still in Kansas and not Oz because they had a tornado warning but were perfectly fine. I couldn't stop laughing much to Elder Barona's dismay haha. I can now fully understand scriptures in Spanish and can read as fast as they can speak. Met a cute girl my age named Chastity so that should be fun when we teach her the law of Chastity haha, very awkward. I went to one of my investigator's weddings which was awesome! So life is going good. So make sure my bag is sent ASAP!

Oh and if you could get the e-mail addresses of Brigham and Lily, that would be great!

Love you guys!

Elder Farley
