Hey Guys,

I was feeling good about last week till yesterday. I woke Sunday morning thinking that we were going to have 6 people in church, but when it came down to it no one came. I don´t know what happened, our ward had low assistance as well like 20 instead of 60-70. We worked hard this week and was a little discouraging to have no one in church. It is hard not to get discouraged after so long with such low numbers, but I am trying to stay excited. I did divisions this week with Elder Geschwandtner and Castor. It went well but I had to teach Elder Gesh how to use the Area Book. He had never touched one before a little sad seeing as he is training and has almost a year in the mission, but he is using it now. I also found all the directions of the lista de 24 meses for him because he didn't know where to look. But now he knows and he is using it. 

On Wednesday I witnessed my first wedding in Uruguay. It was kid of lame, I hope the reception was better. It consists of the witnesses signing papers, the couple then a judge comes in and says some words then a short kiss. Then they throw you out of the building and throw another couple in the room. We did get to throw rice though, which was kind of fun. Then to eat they went to McDonald's, we went to Burger King. Kind of Funny! We have found more people to teach this week, but they are pretty duro (hard).  This week we also had a ward activity it was super fun. The four of us missionaries sang Jingle Bells in English it was pretty funny! We put on these really big foam ties as the three Latino missionaries and I sang.

A phrase I am starting to hate is "Well I'm not the senior comp where are we going". My comp is starting to get on my nerves a little bit, he as a little bit of all of my past comps in one. Anyway I have to go. Sorry this letter is so short I need to pulled Elder Navarro aside to talk to him he looked like he was about to cry. We will see what happens to him.  Love you! Cant wait to talk in a bit. 

Love 
Elder Wray
P.s. I think Elizabeth should stay away from cars. It is like every week she is in an accident.
