Letter Dated March 4th

Dear Mom & Dad;


So I am sending home some pictures.  I wrote on the back of them a bit about them.  I found out I could print pictures off here so enjoy them.

Mike & Elder Mykel Thomson at the Provo Temple

Two weeks left, which is awesome.  Its pretty difficult to wait patiently.  But oh well, time goes by pretty quick here anyway.


So the last District that is older then mine was suppose to leave this coming Monday, but their visas aren't here yet, so they probably got another week.  Poor guys.


Pretty much this week was, well normal.  Just went to class, where they try to cram information down our throats.  Then we practice teaching in Spanish.  Pretty normal stuff.  I couldn't really think of any super exciting things that happened.  I am sure Argentina will be a bit more exciting.

Mike and Elder Mykel Thomson

As a spiritual thought this week, I found in Moses 1:4, 6, 7 and D&C 121:7.  One of the first things God says when he talks to people, is that he lets them know they are his sons.  There is a lot of power in knowing this.  Further in Moses 1:12-13 Satan tempts Moses saying "Moses, son of man worship me!"  Moses replies "who art thou, for behold I am a son of God!"  Its important for us to remember who we really are and think about it often.


One thing I've notice that's changed since I got here, is at first we seemed to have lots of time to prepare to teach, and study.  But now the time for preparation and study goes b to fast, its weird.  I feel like we need three more hours in the day to get things done.

Elder Gleason & Mike's Companion Elder Kirchner

Well, I am doing well, just stoked to not sit in class all day in a few weeks.  Still haven't heard where Aaron is going.  He should get it soon.  Mykel should be leaving the MTC after this week.  Then I should leave the next week.


Con Amor


Elder Obray
P.S. I'll probably send a few pictures home every week.
