Hey Guys,
This week has been really hard. Both Elder Garcia and I have been sick which has been kind of frustrating but we are recovering and we are still struggling to find new people to teach. Our recent convert is doing well she came to church by herself. I guess with the thanks of a member we activated about a month ago that lives close who is now passing for about 6 or 7 people that live out of town on her way to church. Other good news is that the third and final sister of the Gonzalez family excepted fecha(Date) for the 7 which is really exciting. We are still missing the parents but hopefully we can change that to. I had an interesting experience on divisions with Elder Maranoski, he is a good guy and we had some good lessons but at the end of the day I was probably a little to lenient with how we spent our time . We were in his area so he was in charge and just followed him around for the most part. So I didn´t say anything but I probably should have. I talked to his comp afterward who was a little upset (my district leader) but it is alright now. We have interviews tomorrow which is exciting I don´t know why but I always liked invterviews in the mission anyway. 


But yea we have both been pretty sick mainly just exsausted with a cold but they treat that like death here. I would be nice to stay home and rest but we can't here so we work the same. The members are really nice. Everyone tries to help you out when you are sick a lot of hot liquids and bread. Also some crazy remedies. One member last night made me a tea with onion skin, garlic, orange peal some other herbs and sugar. I thought it was pretty good but I could bearly smell or taste it. My comp said it was the worst thing he has ever had but he also says that about everything here. It is a common trend with the latinos here or I guess just with the ones from Central America, that I have noticed in the past few months. Uruguay can´t do anything right, the beans here are horrible they don´t know how to cook them, they dont know how to build, they cant drive ect... it gets very annoying after a while and then they always throw in if they were more like the United States maybe to get me to talk or something I dont know. I just laugh to myself because you know how it is in the United States. Anyway maybe don´t put that up it is just something that has been bugging me for a while. 


Something gross that happened this week we had a leech in our shower for 2 days because we were both to tired to care also my comp on our kitchen floor shot a snot rocket on the floor then followed it by a lugi. I just looked at him with disgust. He then moved it around on the floor with his foot and said there happy. I then flipped out and told him to pick it up that is gross. After he picked it up he called me a girl so I called him a fatty and that was that for the night he got really upset about fatty. He is really sensitive about his weight but dosen´t want to lose weight or at least thats what he tells me but I dont believe him.  You can´t tell we fight a lot but for some reason 5 minutes later we are all good again. I don´t know why...  but it isn´t something I like so a lot of times I just tell him I don´t care enough to argue or just don´t respond to his taunts. We are improving though. I sold him some stamps so I could use some more. Anyway I have to go keep working on the addresses. Also my zone leader just told me he is thinking about changing majors to aviation and has questions. Anyway choa! 

Love Elder wray
