Hey Guys, 

This week has been pretty good. It really doesn´t show in our numbers in that regard I guess it was a hard week. But our area is looking much better, we have more people to teach and someone with fecha(date) for this month. Now we are trying to figure out how to get the members involved. It has been a struggle to get members to lessons this week as well as the last 5 or 6 weeks but we have more to work with this week. My area only has about 7 active member families in it and most work 2 jobs so it is hard to schedule lessons. My district is doing well I think, this past week I did divisions with the Zone Leaders, Elder McCraney is really helping me out. Elder Navarro not as much but I think he is really stressing out about the Zone now that he is ZL1. This week I have divisions with Elder Geschwandtner, he and his kid are doing really good. They are having a lot of lessons. We are teaching another friend of Eliana and her family from my last area. His name is Johnathan Denis. He is a pretty good guy, he is 13 but has been going to church by himself since his family let him leave home on his own. And now he is going to ours! We have taught him two lessons. I want to meet his parents but he says they are duro(hard). Anyway things as a District Leader are fun! At times stressful and you don´t have much free time but it makes things go by much faster. I only wish my district had more people in it. Elder Muñoz is doing well. He isn´t as obedient as I thought he would be. I think his last two comps might have killed him. I know if I didn´t push him he wouldn´t get up on time or he wouldn´t study etc.. So that makes it kind of annoying but I guess that is what happens when you are a Junior. A lot of times I feel like he could do more, but then I stop and think how much did I help my comps. I still feel like I did more but that stops me from getting to annoyed with him. A lot of times he plays with me like Elder Rivas did. I can never tell when he is telling the truth. Like on Tuesday I got out of the shower and he said, ´I just got off the phone with President, he says he is going to your District Meeting so it better be good." I obviously starting stressing out a little and then he started playing around. Saying he was just kidding then he wasn´t then he was. In the end, yes President did go to my DM thankfully it went really well. The beginning was slow but it picked up as people started talking more. I shared Obediencía con Exactitud, Regocijad en la obra(exact obedience, rejoice in the work). President said it went well, didn´t give me much critique which I wanted but oh well. This week is Zone Meeting which will be nice. I just lack confidence and energy in my meeting I think. That's about it things are going well. Talk to you guys soon in like 3 weeks, crazy how time flies. Also dad not a huge fan of the shirt it makes you look like a biker but maybe it was just the pic.  I can´t wait to read your stories. I hope you sent me a Christmas card.  Anyway got to go. 

Love  
Elder Wray
