Letter Dated February 6, 2012

Dear Mom and Dad;

Well sounds like a pretty interesting week. Glad I wasn't home and sick, ha ha, that would not be fun....  But other then that it sounds alright. Girls camp will be interesting with the new change.

So this week in the field was a bit interesting.  I don't think quite as much happened, ha ha.

So. 1st we did divisions Tuesday after district meeting and it went through Wednesday. I went to General Pico which is like an hour north of Castex with Elder Himebaugh. Elder Himebaugh is from South Jordan Utah. He learned Spanish before his mission though, so he speaks really well. He only went to the MTC for 2 weeks then he got put out here. Crazy huh. Anyway he is a way good missionary. We worked hard. Found some new investigators. And it looks like they should have a baptism in a few week. That will be great for them.

I got back to my area late Wednesday.  So Thursday through Sunday I worked in my area.  We had some decent success, maybe not as much as I would like.  But we did alright.

So We found one investigator named Jaun Carlos who is interested, but only sort of. So we are trying to find a way into his heart. But its a bit hard. But he did say he was going to read and pray. So we shall see what happens.

With Yesid, well, we taught some more, but we really are in the same place. He reads, he prays, but he doesn't feel like he needs to be baptized in the church. Really he just isn't so sure that the church was restored by Joseph Smith. So we shall see what happens there. This week he is going to try super hard to read and pray everyday and ask specifically if Joseph Smith was a profeta of God, and if the Book of Mormon is true. So he should get an answer.  But who knows. I think he might have already gotten an answer, but maybe he's scared to follow his answer.

Those are the two biggest things that happened.  We didn't have any progress with anyone else. 

Flia Mason, a family in the ward gave us a HUGE bowl of canned apricots.  They are really good.  Just so you know.  They are fresh two, just canned.

We did find out something interesting. We have a list of members right? And on the side of one name, Teresa, it said her husband was dead right? So we passed by one day and she was there (she is an older lady) and we talked. She told us she wants us to pass by and talk with her husband.  So we thought she was crazy.  Elder Stutz had passed by and never seen her husband before. So we passed by and he was there... we were surprised.... i guess he wasn't dead after all.....

Anyway.  Hope everyone feels way better this week.  Just so you know, that flu isn't in Argentina yet. Hurray! 

Have a good week ill talk to you next week.

Oh, I think the pictures are of Quequen, a catholic church. They have cool churches. And a kid Nahuel. His dad is M.A. I think I wrote about him a few times.

Anyhow. 

Love ya

Elder Obray
