Elder Farley's Life in Ecuador: Week #20 - Being a trainer is hard!

Hola familia como están

Mi vida es maravillosa, comenzare como respuesta sus preguntas (My life is wonderful, I will start by answering your questions)-

1. What do you do for exercise in the mornings? I would imagine with all of the walking you do that you might not need to do anything but lift weights.

1- Usually I just do push-ups and some sit-ups.

2. What has been the most interesting meal you ate last week? What is your favorite food there?

2- This last week I ate a cow's elbow, and that was.....interesting. My favorite food here is called Seco de Pollo. It's super good. I can't describe it but it's really good.

3. What is Elder Cano like? We know he is from Tegucigalpa and that he is 6’8”, but tell us about his personality and how it is to be comps with him.

3- Honestly, Elder Cano is like a little kid. It is SUPER hard to teach him. At times I get sooo frustrated with him because he is like a little kid. But I have patience and honestly in my opinion I think at the end of December or beginning of January I will get transferred, but that's my opinion.

4. G-ma Farley asked me to ask you if you could get her and I a small nativity set from Ecuador? She collects them from all over the world and she would like one from Ecuador. I would too if you can find them. Thanks! Did you receive our Christmas package and the Christmas package from the Farley girls?

4- Yes I received the package. It was really cool. Thanks and I will look for a nativity set for Grandma.

5. How was the temple?

5- The temple was awesome. I saw the new temple video. It was soooo cool. I love the temple here in Ecuador.

6. Why can't you send letters?

6- Honestly I don't know why I can't send letters.

Well, my week was a little crazy. Tuesday my comp had to go to Guayaquil for something. So me and Elder Arias were comps for the day. That is when I ate the cows elbow. Tuesday night all the Elders and Sisters in my Zona went to Guayaquil for the temple. Wednesday we attended the temple and that whole day was spent in Guayaquil. Thursday we came back to Simon and it was a normal week. We walked, taught and had a baptism. The little kid that got baptized se llama Adrian and he is really cool. A brother in our branch baptized him. Then on Saturday we went to Milagro because an Elder in our Zona left his mission. His 2 years were up so that was kinda cool to see that. Honestly that was my week.

One cool spiritual experience is that on Sunday I had to give a talk but this week was so crazy that I kinda forgot about it until like 20 mins before church started. The Presidente asked me if I was prepared and I said "claro Presidente" (clear President) then I said a quick little prayer and my talk was really good. It was about D & C 4 and I thought it was really good.

Well that was really all my week. I am just absolutely loving my mission. I am loving every second of it. Thanks for all the support.

My questions:

1- Can you send me copies of my art work?

2- How is Morgyn?

3- How is George?

5- What does Kendall look like--I forgot?

LOVE

Elder Farley-
