Dear Mom and Dad;

Well sounds like you guys had a pretty interesting week with Lagoon and all. Sounds like a lot of fun. Glad to hear things are still rolling around back home.

12 year old boy buried on Mike's P-day

This week was pretty busy for us. We had a decent amount of lessons. And found a few new people, but so far not much has come of it.  But we are working hard so its all good.

So lets see, really the week wasn't super exciting.  We talked, finally with a guy named Antonio, he was a reference that we received.  We taught him and he liked it all, really serious about his religion and all. Which is good. But we couldn't get a baptism date for him yet. He likes to study first, cause he is surprisingly smart. Anyway he is really good and fun to teach. So eventually he will probably get baptized.

Next our investigator Cyntia dropped us over the phone, so we are going to pass by her sometime this week.  We taught Flia Macia and took out baptism dates (they are old investigators).  So we hope that one goes somewhere.

Flia Pacheco we almost taught with a member but the member couldn't at the last minute.  And I am worried about them, the Dad, Christian, loves to listen and talk to us, but the wife kinda likes to... so I worry she might drop us ha ha. We will see.

Those are the biggest things that happened to us this week, not a ton. but enough ha ha.

This transfer is half over already.ha ha. Anyway, things are going pretty good, we have a zone conference this week, Wednesday, so that should be pretty cool.

Oh the pictures, we went to the beach today and goofed off with some members (the kid who is buried, hes like 12 years old) and some other random pictures.  Then some pictures of our house, our sink broke.... ha ha.  Anyway our Monday was way fun, the beach was cool we played soccer and soccer tennis and took pictures and such. Pretty sweet p-day.

Anyway thanks for the update on my friends we don't really have much contact so its good to know they are all doing well. Aaron should almost be out in the field.  I did sent him an email a while ago. The language is terrible for a while especially in the field, (1st couple of months are pretty difficult really) but it comes, slowly, the best thing to do is not to worry about it, and study, and work, but don't go crazy over it.

Clifford and Mike

Some pictures of stuff, ha ha, the sweet houses in the forest, you can kinda see the Argentina sweater I bought. And I should be sending some pictures of the dog follower we have, named Clifford. Anyway he is a way cool dog that guards us from the middle of the forest to our area, then goes away.

Oh I don't know if i told you this, but the pictures I sent home make sure you save, so I can delete them. I am sure you do, and they should be on both our emails, but just in case.

Well that's about all I really have for you this week. So enjoy your week.

Love Elder Obray
