Well we had a pretty interesting little week. Hope your ready for it. Ha ha, well maybe not that interesting. But a little yea.
The pictures I sent, are 1 is my district of 8 sister missionaries.
First things first this week, we had transfers. Elder Fernandez left for Mar Del Plata, he is going to Villa Belgrano, probably the most dangerous area in the mission. Whew. But still not that dangerous. They just rob the missionaries in the street if they have watches or anything of value.
Also my district got changed up pretty good. Seven of the sisters missionaries left and two elders came into the district and 1 sister missionary. So what I am trying to say is that they closed two areas.
One of the wards is obvious why. The hermanas apparently got a threat from a crazy guy. So President took them out and put in Elders, ha ha. And the others they took out.
So now in my district we have me and my new companion Elder Perkins from Colorado. Elder Watson and Elder Maldarejo, Hermana Pomora and Hermana Linco. So its a bit smaller. Which will be nice ha ha.
That's the big news. I guess I wont have to deal with any more transfers, this is my last one :(
So one of our investigators had a baby this week. Danelia had a baby. That was good for the family.
A nineteen year old named Christian, who is Evangelical, read a bit of the Book of Mormon and told us he felt the spirit and knows its true. Now the problem is, he doesn't want to change churches, ha ha.
Delicia, told us she is going to get married. She just has to wait for some papers. But it could still be a little while.
Nora couldn't go to church this week, she was sick (she is the 7th day Adventist)
We found a new investigator named Mari. She had talked to the missionaries before and told us she felt like she had received a sign from God and might just need to get baptized, ha ha. Very good. (I would explain more, but I'm not sure how she connected what happened to sign from God, it would take forever to try and explain it, so ill just leave it there).
Silvia told us she was going to get baptized. Maybe in January.
So for Christmas, what we have planned the 24th is we are going to have dinner with some members. The 25th we have yet to plan. As a mission. we are going to celebrate the 18th, they haven't given us much in details. But we are going to sing some Christmas songs in a hospital and in a huge park. More then that I don't know. I guess might know more in the future. I'm a bit jealous that the missionaries in Tennessee got to listen to an Apostle, ha ha. But that's how it is.
About calling home, I am planning on using skype. but I don't know if it will be 24 or 25, they haven't told us much about what we can do yet. I'm sure at one point I'll let you know, ha ha.
Anyway that's about all I got. I guess I'll email again next week.
Love ya
Elder Obray
Oh yea, Elder Perkins was born in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Then lived in Knoxville for a few years, but they moved when he was 4. So that is it. :)
