Letter Dated July 18, 2011

Dear Mom & Dad;

Thanks for the Email. And the music.  Good to hear everyone in the family is doing good and that my friends are all continuing with the mission. I must say I was super surprised that you would go to Bear Lake without me ha ha. Enjoy.

So this is the last week of the transfer, and my companion Elder Sullivan has a really good chance of getting transferred. By that I mean like 99% chance. So when I write again next time I will probably have a new companion.

I am still a bit sick (well really I pretty much got better, and then got sick again ), its not bad just a cold but it has lasted longer then normal. Probably cause I don't really get much extra rest ha ha.

This week we did divisions with the Elders in Miramar, I was in my area with Elder Araya from Chile. He is a really good kid, probably one of the better teachers I have been with so far.

For me and Elder Sullivan this wasn't the best week, Family Pacheco was out of town most of the week so we only got to teach them once and they couldn't go to church Sunday.  Family Cuinka we only got to talk to once the entire week and family Barrionuevo we taught once, and then stopped by and talked to them for a few minutes another day. We did find one new investigator named Carlos though. He smokes and drinks (like everyone else here) but he was pretty receptive,  He didn't go to church, we will probably find out Tuesday.

This week my Mission President is coming to Mar Del Plata to do interviews, which should be cool.  There is a RM here in our Ward who just got home from serving in Provo Ut. ha ha. The same city as where my companion is from, He served Spanish speaking, but of course he did a decent amount in English as well. He can speak English pretty well. He told us he is studying super hard right now, and saving his money so he can go to byu.

Right now, there is a South American soccer cup going on that's pretty big, so sometimes during the day nobody cares about us poor missionaries ha ha ha. They just gotta watch that soccer ha ha.

Some good news for us, is the Ward has a bus that will pass by our area and pick up members and investigators now. Since our ward covers a huge area we kind of need it. Apparently, they used to have one like a year ago, but it got to expensive. But some ward members pitched in to get it going again.

Well that's really all I have to say, have a good week. Sorry I don't have any pictures ha ha, but I didn't take any this week. This week I should have some good ones since Elder Sullivan is leaving.

Love Elder Obray
