Sorry you didn't hear anything. They were suppose to send an email to you hmm...Wednesday or Tuesday. I don't get to call or anything. My P-day is on Monday, so usually I can send probably a quick note in an email and hopefully write a letter, I didn't have time to write one this Monday cause we had a ton of stuff to do, but it will come. From what I understand about the letters is it could take about two weeks for them, I will be sure to send you something each week so you know I am doing fine. Oh and I don't know if you already sent a package, but they want you to use the mail system and the address you should already have, and make sure it doesn't weigh much. I have to pay a decent amount for it.

The weather here is pretty nice, warm haha. The people here are generally pretty nice, but not very easy to teach. Most are catholic or evangelicals. And don't really want to listen, or at least that's been my experience so far. We probably have about 2 family investigators and then 2 people, so not that many. We went and knocked doors all day on Saturday, and we got into zero houses haha. So its a bit rough. But its pretty fun. I can't say I ever really know what is going on though haha. Its hard to hear what the people are saying. The members here are super nice, and they talk slowly so I can catch at least a part of what they are trying to say.
Tell Aaron I was stoked to hear about his call, I can't email him anymore, but I am sure he will dominate in his mission. Its going to be way fun. Anyway hope you are doing well. I am doing awesome. Things here are pretty good.
We already have had some interesting experiences. Shaha. It was way funny.
There are dogs everywhere here. Every family has one. And then every person could have one with the amount in the streets. Some of the dogs are pretty scary cause they are super diseased and sick. They just lounge in the roads. But some dogs are awesome, haha. Just depends.

Also most the people here look Italian, then Mexican, then white, then like native American Indians. So they got a pretty diverse country.
Our house we are living in is in the backyard of a guy. Its fairly small. The same size as A Rockland apartment for two people. Maybe. The kitchen is annoying. Honestly, only one person can be in the kitchen at a time, that bad, haha. The shower is warm for 5 minutes. Oh and the sleeping bag is awesome. Super nice. But apparently your suppose to bring sheets, not a big deal though, haha. the sheet we got was wrong.
My Spanish is terrible, but I would say its improved a decent amount this week. The people talk to fast though. But I am excited to be here. Especially when I can speak Spanish and I am here, haha. As it is when I contact people, its a bit rough.
I hope my story didn't scare you about the guy who maybe tried to rob us haha. Tell you what, Friday we walked for like 10 hours. Whew I was super tired, even my comp was pretty much dead tired.
I can attach photos to my emails, so i am probably going to see if i can buy a cord from the camera to the usb drive, so or something cause that would help a ton.
I talked to my comp about packages. And he has never lost a package. He received all sorts of stuff, so it shouldn't be a problem, haha. I guess we will see though.
love Elder Obray
