Well sounds like you guys are already in Tennessee, ha ha. Sounds pretty exciting. I hope the traveling goes well. Should be fun to hear from you guys from Tennessee. I Guess I can tell people I'm from Tennessee now? Since I wont go home to Idaho anymore, ha ha.
We haven't met the new mission President yet. But we have Zone conference on Friday. So we will meet him here in a little bit. So that should be pretty exciting.
The pictures you sent from Sam were pretty nifty, ha ha.
And no pictures this week, honestly your lucky you got an email. Today, 9th of July is Independence Day, allllllllllllll the cybers were closed but one, whew, and well I can't send pictures here.
So lets see, I'll be honest, we had kinda a rough week this week. I don't have a lot of time, so I'm going to write really quickly and tell you the big things that happened. We spent all our time looking for a cyber, ha ha.
So, Oscar has a small problem. You ll have to forgive me for the lack of ability to explain the situation, I'll give you the information, you can put it together. Oscar got baptized. Hurray! But he lives on his own small territory (lot). Also his sister lives there, but in a different house. His sister was sssssuuuuuupppppperrr angry that he got baptized in our church, and destroyed Oscars house.... So Oscar is homeless (he is living with the branch president) fortunately the territory is his, so with the law he is going to get it back. Unfortunately the sister is pretty crazy and she is threatening everyone pretty good. So it's kinda interesting. I hope we don't run into her, whew. Anyway kind of a sad little problem.
Then we really focused on getter Fernando to go to church. But he didn't go... sniffle. So we gotta try again. He is just super shy and scared of large groups of people. So we are going to come up with a plan to get him to go.
We found some new investigators, Guillermo and Jose. They are kinda interesting. They are like 25 year old brothers. They are shy, don't speak much, at first I didn't think they were all there. But they understood what we were saying and such. So we started to teach them, they didn't make it to church either.
The other news is pretty decent. Flia Montenegro. They are a interesting family. My 3rd week here we passed by them and the 3 youngest boys ages 6, 9, 11, started to go to church, walking 15 blocks every morning. Really good kids. But absolutely crazy and difficult to handle. But anyway, we did a small family night with them. They really enjoyed it, we played a scripture golf game, to help them read the scriptures. Well we didn't think it was very effective, but, the mom told us last night (she doesn't go to church) that they were studying and reading the scriptures we used in the game, so I was happy about that, but even better, the mom said she was going to start going to church! Yea! That was good news.
So yea more or less that's what happened this week. My companion got pretty sick on Friday. But he is better now. Lots of sickness lately.
Anyway, we are trying to get someone to get baptized. I want to baptize every month for the next 6 months. So we are working hard to get that. I know its possible, just difficult.
You have to tell me what the church is like in Tennessee, if your in a ward or branch. If they have missionaries assigned to you ward. I'm pretty curious. You guys are going to find a house there or something right? Cause at one point or another I have to tell the secretary that you moved and give him the new direction and phone number and alllll that really fun but not so fun stuff.
Just so you know, things are going great here. Just enjoying the work out here.
Have a good week. Hope the move goes smoothly. Sounds like a long drive.
Love ya,
Elder Obray
