Dear Mom & Dad:

I'll send more pictures probably next time, we never have very much Internet time, haha.

Anyway I was glad to hear everyone is doing well. Sounds like some fun things happened. Yea, we hear from the people we visit sometimes about all the disasters that happen in the States. I didn't know about the flooding and fire, but the tornadoes we hear about like every day.  I don't know if I told you last week, but there was a volcano in Chile, and we could see the smoke in the sky for a while it was kinda cool, blocked out the sun a bit.

So the transfers came in and Elder Hampshire from our house is in Bahia Blanca now, Me and Elder Sullivan stayed, and Elder Parra is going to be a trainer. And that's all we know about that. But it's pretty cool. I would say Elder Parra will be an awesome trainer, he is a really good missionary and he only has like 9 months left.

I got the letter from Sister Anderson, but I can write back without an address. So you should try and get that for me. Thanks.

So this week, we didn't get a ton of lessons because people were hard to get a hold of and we seemed to have lots of extra stuff we had to do this week.

We had a Argentina conference though where Boyd K. Packer, Neil A. Anderson, Sister Wixom of the Primary, and a 70 from Argentina spoke to Argentina. It was cool, but only one of our investigators went. Oh Well. They talked about tithing, and warned members about going menos activo. Which was good cause 20% go menos activio in 20 years.

So honestly it was a pretty uneventful week when it comes to investigators. I honestly don't know where all of our time went this week. But this next transfer we are going to have some baptisms for sure. I am pretty excited.
I am frustrated though with some of our people they read and pray but Never go to church.  Anyway the mission is just that way, haha.

I do not know if i told you, but we have cell phones here. Well me and Elder Sullivan didn't have one before but they finally got us one, yay!   So that will help us.

Anyway I can't think of much else to say.  Besides I have written about 6 or seven letters, but I haven't sent them to people...whoops its been like a transfer since I sent a letter, haha.

Yea, I let Elder Sullivan cut my hair, instead of going and using 30 pesos on a barber, haha.  And that's what happened, haha. He did good just way short.

Enjoy your week.  Should have some more to say next week I hope.

Love Elder Obray
