Letter Dated April 23, 2012

Dear Mom and Dad; 

Sounds like you guys did some pretty serious cleaning.  No goofing off over there, whew.  Que cosas.  Weird Vince said that, I was thinking the same thing.  When we all get back we gotta have one last soccer game together, ha ha.  I'm sure we will.

Yea, so I forgot to take a picture of the shirt.  BUT. I did send some pictures of some stuff I bought today.  I went and bought some Argentine Gaucho stuff.  Gaucho is cowboy, so some Argentine cowboy things.  Kinds cool.

So you see in the 1st one the pictures are a pancho some belts. Then these ones are knives (one of a claw of what looks like a raptor! but not really) and a mate bag. So yea I got some things. Anyway that's pretty much what the pampas are famous for right there. You saw it all, ha-ha.  

Oh and the picture of the house was the elders house in Pico, two of them have bikes.  Lucky guys.

This week, lets see what happened.

Monday, Oh hey I made those cookies you sent me that night after we worked. They were super good. Thanks. Oh and we had some lessons that night. 1 with Melina and 1 with Antonia.

Tuesday, well, we did the normal.  Lots of knocking and talking, ha ha.  We had a chat with Gaby and Natalia.

Wednesday, this day was a bit more exciting.  My companion went to the hospital cause he has been having a hard time sleeping. So yea.  He now has some Melatonine which has helped him to sleep a bit better.  We have another appointment on May 3.  Then we went to a cita with a lady.  She is 100 percent 7th day Adventist.  But I hadn't really ever talked to one of them before. So we chatted, and we gave L1.  When we finished we gave her the Book of Mormon.  And she gave us a nice little book as well. So that is all fun and games right? Well she then leaves the room for a second and brings out the preacher of her church, who was lying in wait in the back room of the house, ha ha.  So now we are in kinda a werid situacion right, since we really don't want to ¨bible bash¨ although we definatly would have won, well at least I like to think so.  So we just kinda sat back and let him do his thing.  He of course attacks us a little bit, but all we did was testify and told him we are perfectly willing to answer any question he has about things (since he said ¨the doctrine of Smith doesn't add up with what the bible says¨) so we fixed a cita to come back Thursday to answer the questions to help him to see that the bible does actually support things taught in our church.  Then we left, I'll just tell you now, the guy didn't show up to the cita the next day.  Lame, huh. But anyway I think we handled it alright.

Thursday, not much happened we talked to German and Gaby and Natalia.

Friday, we had consejo in the night.

Saturday, we were looking for a menos activo in the morning, when we happened to find another menos activo who just moved in from southern Argentina.  We had a good chat, and fixed a cita to come back and teach the lesson to him and his nonmember wife.  So that was great.  Then we did some service.  We sawed a HUGE tree in half.  It took us 3 hours.....whew....it was a big tree.  What else can I say.

Sudnay, we had church and such.  Then that night we had a cita with the bishops mom and her boyfriend who will get baptized when he gets his divorce and then gets married to the bishops mom. So that was cool. 

That's about it.  Other then we probably had lots of other things that happened but I don't really have much more time to write.

So enjoy your week.  Have fun.  Do something cool.  I'll stay here and enjoy my week as well.  Doing some Teaching of the Gospel and that's what I like.

Love Elder Obray
