So you were in a threesome too? thats cool, as of now i'm with just one person because a member of my district got sent home, but it was good while it lasted. Its definitely easier to keep track of things with just one comp though. Trc's are great! i actually haven't been too nervous, the spirit is strong and everything just seems to fall into place while we teach. Its definitely a blessing to be able to practice teaching as much as we do here. I just can't wait for it to be real, the people in california need to hear it! It feels like I just got here, everyday flies by and I can hardly keep track of what went on. But over the course of time ive been here my teaching is continuing to grow, i felt pretty prepared before hand, but its the little things that count and thats what ive been working on, trying to connect with the people and invite the spirit into the room. My testimony can only go so far, they need to feel it for themselves. Ive already got my travel itinerary for california, my district will be split before we even get to the plane, Its kindve scary, but also just soo exciting. Yesterday we had a fireside and got to hear from Russel M. Nelson of the quorum of the twelve, it was pretty intense. He talked about the importance of perfect obedience and how thats what brings miracles in the field, ive been trying to do my best and its just nice to receive that extra motivation every week. Other than that, not much is happening, pretty much the same thing as usual, go to class, teach, study...and next time I email you I'll be in CALIIFORNIA! Thanks for giving me some email addresses and posting my letters on your blog. i can't wait to hear from people :)

Love, Elder Farnsworth

Ive got 12 minutes to talk...so yeah. Thanks for writing me. You weren't the first but you were up there. The Mtc is going good. There's lots of time to study and teach, and im having a great time. Especially when teaching. we had a TRC the other day, which is basically where we have the opportunity to teach fake investigators about the gospel, it was awesome, i felt the spirit so strong. Im part of a district of nine people, district 41-A and my second day here i was called to be the district leader. Its been a lot of fun. Ive been put in a companionship of three and my comps names are elder austin and elder snyder, its definitely gonna take some getting used to, just being with them 24 7. I want to tell you more, but im running out of time. . Love Elder Farnsworth
