Hey Guys,

This week went flying by, but we saw a little success. We are finally starting to find people that can get baptized before February, they are going to take some work but it can be done. It was Elder Myers last week, which was really trunky and as I am writing you I know he is just landing any minute now and will soon hug his family. We had an interesting week with 2 divisions in a row so Elder Myers didn´t work with me for 2 day in my area. Once with Elder Salgado and another with Elder Navarro. They were really good and brought peace to the stress and disappointment I was feeling. This end of the change was weird as well because Elder Myers went home yesterday and I don't get my new comp till tomorrow so I tried to find a Corto Plazo(Usually a Young Man form the ward to work with me for a few days) but there wasn't one available in my ward so I have been Zone Leader 2 with Elder Navarro for 2 days and tonight which has been lots of work. Not that I did a lot of what a ZL does but Lots of the stressful organizational parts I did like house checks, numbers changes etc. and tonight I will probably not sleep much because we have to stay in the bus terminal all night to help missionaries get on and off buses as they all change around, should be interesting. Anyway so my 8th comp or 9th if you count Navarro as two is Elder Muñoz. He was with of Elder Larson One of the coolest guys from my group.  I´m really excited to be with Elder Muñoz, he is a really good Elder. From what I have seen he is a super obedient Elder so I hope he can help me in my short comings and help the other companionship in our house. He is in his sixth Change so about 8 months in the mission. He has been in Cerro for 2 changes so I know him well, he is just changing areas. He is like 5' 5" I think.  I hope they don´t kill us and he's from Mexico, Pueblo I think but I will tell you better next week. Super Good guy.

Also more news about my change is I am a District Leader!! Super fun I cant wait! Things with Elder Myers just started clicking.  My teaching was getting a lot better and I could feel the spirit guiding me a lot more as I taught. I am a little nervous about the responsibility I have to feel but I know it should be alright. As DL I have to teach my district every week, do divisions as a teaching tool, numbers etc... Lots of things but I can't wait, the mission is flying by. 

Things that happened this week as well on divisions with Elder Salgado, they hit me with a rock again this time much harder but luckily my backpack again. When Elder Salgado heard it and I told him what it was he got really scared and asked if we should run I just laughed and said if you want. We didn´t. Then also they Spray Painted the Church all over with the word Nacional which is a big futbol team here one of the two biggest. If you ask anyone here what team they are they will either say Nacional of Peñarol. Anyway the missionaries spent time cleaning that this week. Then during a baptism on Saturday while talking to people with my back to kids playing soccer they hit me in the back with a rock again but this time I didn´t have a backpack. Thankfully it didn´t hurt. Also this weekend I have a talk in sacrament. Sacrifice is my topic should be a piece cake.  Anyway I have to go I hope this letter isn´t to choppy it is really late and we have to go teach the people. The mission is super great! I can't wait to get to work with my new comp. Pray for me. 

Love 
Elder Wray

P.S. Sorry I will send the Pick on Monday
