Letter Dated December 17, 2012

Dear Mom and Dad;

Hey, I Hope you had a good week.  I didn't get a email.  But I figure everything is alright.

Anyway, so this week was a pretty interesting little week.  The pictures I sent will help explain.

First, I was with Elder Perkins, then Tuesday night we got a phone call that told us we were going to be in a trio and train a new Elder.  So that was a surprise.  We were both going to train one person.  Okay, ha ha.  So we worked as a trio till Saturday.  Then Saturday night they called us again and told us Elder Perkins was leaving to another area and was going to train another Elder.  So now I am with Elder Gonzalez, training him.  He is from Ecuador.  A really good missionary.

I hope that makes sense.

So some good news.  Nora is going to get baptized the 29th.  We are almost sure.  She wants to, she went to church Sunday with her sister who will probably get baptized the same day.  We are pretty excited.  The mom is a bit more difficult.  She doesn't want to get baptized twice, ha ha.  We will see what we can do.

We found a girl named Solanj.  She listened to missionaries before, but then she moved and lost contact.  Now we found her doing door contacts.  She is really good.  Even better.  A little bit before we passed by, a member had passed by and talked to her about the church.  Perfect,  ha ha.  She was pretty excited.  We were too.

This week we also taught Delcia and her daughter and granddaughter.  They said they were going to go to church, but they never actually got there.  We were a bit sad.

Good news.  Thomas and Ruben went to church again.  We are planning on baptizing Thomas but we aren't sure when yet.  But its going to happen.

We were out working this week.  And we were doing a few street contacts.  When Elder Perkins talked to an older guy in front of his house, he gave him a pass along card, then he saw the wife inside and asked if he could go give one to her, he said yes, so we entered the house and started to talk.  Kinda a fun way to get into a house I thought.

Tomorrow we have our Christmas activity, should be fun.  I'll let you know how it goes.

What else happened this week.

Uh.  We found 16 new investigators.  That was fun.

Uh,  I talked to one of the sister missionaries who is in Castex.  Sounds like everyone is doing pretty good over there.  I was happy to hear that Gabi and Natalia and Melani are still active.  But sad cause Antonia still doesn't have permission to go to church.  But I guess they are getting closer to her getting permission.  The sister missionaries can pass by her house now.  So that was some good news.

Well I am tired.  And we got lots of work to do.

Anyway, I hope you have a good week.  And things go well.

I haven't heard when we can call home yet, but I'll let you know.  Don't worry.

Love ya,

Elder Obray
