Letter Dated September 5, 2011

Dear Mom and Dad;


Well sounds like a decent week for you all.  Keeping busy and what not. Sweet that dad got to work from home, ha ha.

Mike & Elder Stewart with Fila Zendroni

 

So my past week has been pretty crazy.  But good.

Tuesday, we had district meeting. We worked in the area of the other two elders in our house. So pretty much they gave us a list of people to pass by and we followed it, ha ha.

Wednesday. We worked in our area. We found a new investigator named Ulga, who is really cool and likes to listen. We got a  fecha from her and everything, so we were pretty excited about that. We also visited some old investigators. A creepy  guy and his wife. The guy thinks they should kill everyone who is not contributing to society.... soo...yea

 Thursday, we went to the flia Zendroni (I have pictures I will send sometime of a bunch of families) and we did a service and cleaned up their front yard. Yea! then we visited a menos activo hermano Quiroz who is pretty nice guy, and he actually went to church this last Sunday, Yea.

Fila Zendroni that Mike and his companion reactivated

Friday, lets see, we met a menos activo and had a lesson with Ulga that went really well. She really likes the message. Went to the flia Pacheco. And Christian has some interesting questions that we got to answer, ha ha, lucky us.  That's about it. We were suppose to get transfers today, but  they hadn't received all of them so we didn't know much.

Saturday, we did a little service and helped our vacino push his car (that's how they start there cars sometimes) then we finally got our transfers. 

And Elder Stewart (my comp) is in Olavarria right now.

Hermano Quiroz who they reactivated

And I am now in Nichocea. A smaller town along the coast south of Mar Del Plata.

Then the rest of the day, we went and bought tickets and lunch,  had a lesson with Fransisco, who was way sad both me and Elder Stewart were leaving. Then  one more lesson with Pacheco. Then we came home to start packing.

Domingo we just packed and such, said our goodbyes. and such, and we traveled that night.  Of course had the classic goodbyes in the church with a bunch of people

Mike and Elder Stewart with Hermano Quiroz

Then we left. I traveled from 11 to 1 and then we got home at like 2, yea. I was and am way tired ha ha.  Since we have to get up at 6:30 regardless of how late we are up.

So that was fun. My new Companion is Elder Howard. He was born in California but lived in literally every part of Utah for a time. So, anyway, he is pretty cool. I'll get you some pictures next time. I for got my camera at our house so, next time, ha ha.

Forest that they walk through to get to their area

And I don't really know much about my new area since I've only been here for a few hours, ha ha. But its pretty nice, the ward is just a rama of 30 people. But they have seriously billions of less actives. so it should be fun, ha ha. 

My comp has 1 transfer less then me so that should be interesting. We will see how it goes. He has a ton of time in the area. This will be his 4th transfer here, so 1/4 of his mission ha ha.   So this will probably be his last transfer here. Should be fun. I am pretty excited to be in a new city and area. Its pretty cool, but relatively similar to Mar Del Plata.

Another picture of the forest

Really I can't think of a whole lot to say. You'll have to ask some questions if you have any. I am sorry if this seems a bit scattered. but I am super tired and a bit sick, ha ha.

Enjoy your week 

Love Elder Obray
