Hey Guys
 Things are pretty good here. Our week went by fast, and right now it just so happens that I am in Montevideo again surprise. I found out yesterday at 3pm got on a bus at 2 in the morning and got here at 7am. I leave at 6 but I have till 1 to do whatever I want. At 1 I have to sign papers for residency or something like that really don´t know that much about it. 


 We had the baptism of Belen. She is the sister of an active member. It was a really good baptism in closing the 2nd counselor asked if she would like to bear here testimony, she is only 9, but she did it and in her testimony she said something like being baptized feels really good and I hope my parents will follow the example of my brother and I. The parents started to cry and we hope to start teaching them. We couldn´t get anyone to church this Sunday we had 8 people lined up but in the end no one could make it which is a big loss because the other Elders of are ward had a baptism right after the meeting. Our studies are still laking but I had a really good interview with Elder Nyggard and he gave me some really good advice. I hope to learn a lot form Elder Garcia (companion) this change. He told me to practice charity which is something I'm really struggling with. But we will see what happens. 


Oh guess what for my birthday I went to tata a super market for some things and at the register just sitting there were SMARTIES form Canada. I was Thrilled and bought 3 boxes they were super expensive but I didn´t really care. Great birthday present right! 


 Yesterday was pretty funny like I said the other elder had a baptism yesterday and we had one on Saturday. We were just going to put more water in the font Sunday morning but when we got there someone had emptied the font. So during the first two meeting we were filling the font with buckets, second time in my mission. Anyway we had the baptism and it was all good at 7 we got a text that said come the church we need help when we got there the water was up to the knees in parts thankfully the Church's here are all tile but it all got taken care of. 


Foto one is the baptism, I baptized her, my first one. It was good. Pic two is the food we had a ward activity on Sunday. That was the meat it is calle mondango or something like that looks nasty right! Well it is cow intestine really not that bad it also had pig skin which was just weird. The dish was called an Holla with just a little of everything. The third pic is the same dish before I ate it. Anyway I have to go can't wait for your call at 830pm. 
Love 
Elder Wray
