September 24th 2012

Hey mom and dad,
Thats great to hear about school...I'm sure its just one of the blessings that comes with missionary service. It must be much less stressful to have students that are a little more motivated. And with bowling thats awesome that you've both been improving. Keep it up!! HOpefully you're lesson went great as well.

As for the picture i'm glad it got to you, it waas very nice of him to send it.

My week had its ups and downs....at the beginning of the week we were determined to make this week better than the ones in the past. The past few weeks haven't been bad, but we can do better, so we did what we could to make this one better. starting from monday on you could already feel that we had the spirit more abuntantly, we had such a strong desire to do good...and we were blessed for it. On monday night we taught 4 lessons...which is a lot for a pday. then on tuesday we had 6 lessons...so in two days we had 10 lessons when the standard for the week is 20, so things were great, and the spirit was felt. Sadly...on tues night E.Alo was feeling sick. He woke up the next day sick and for the remainder of the week we stayed inside due to his sickness. It was depressing we wanted to make miracles happen in this ward/the work.

HAving said that...each day we stayed in we usually went out to work from dinner onward despite not feeling well, and the lord blessed us. Everyday we went outside as a companionship, regardless of the time we had, we were able to find and talk to 20 people, which is the goal for each day. By the end of the week we reached our goal of 20 lessons, and 140 oyms...and to me thats a miracle, considering the fact that every moment we had to work we were blessed. and if you'd look at the zone as a whole, it would be hard to believe that that could happen considering...just about every companionship in murrieta struggles to find people to talk to. And...we found 3 new investigators. I'm thankful to be out here, I know that we are blessed when we're obedient and doing all that we can.
BUt yeah, i've gotta get going now...HAve a great week!!
Love, Elder Farnsworth
