Hey Guys,

Things are going well, I miss all the knowledge Elder Camejo had of the area but we are doing well. Elder Camejo and I left for Deo Tuesday night at 3:40 in the morning. I made it to Presidents house at 8 for fresh Cinnamon rolls and fruit salad. President gave us a training till 11:30. It was really good! He shared a video that really calmed my fears. It is from Britain's got talent. It is called Susan Boyle, Britain's got talent. Look it up it is pretty good. Then we walked from Presidents house to the temple about half a block, the longest half block I have walked in a long time.  I don´t know why I was so nervous.  14 of us were training 4 gringos and we were told there are only 3 gringos being born (new missionaries). When we got there they put us in an order and we walked out behind our kids while they had their eyes closed like I did when I was born. We then sang "Called to Serve" before our kids turned around. My kid is Elder Perez, es un capo. He is from Mendoza Argentina. A convert of a year and a half. He is the only member of his family and they did not want him to go on a mission but thankfully they are supporting him. He is 23. Elder Perez is doing really good, he teaches well. He is a little awkward sometimes but maybe I think it is just because he is new. He doesn´t know a lot about the mission. I am trying to think of when I was new. I think everyone is a little weird, he does everything I do right after I do it which is kind of funny and a little annoying but he is doing well. The only thing we really have in common is Mountain Climbing which is a first and really cool. I was excepting someone with less Spanish and was thinking I was going to do a lot of talking but he does really well and obviously speaks Spanish, sometimes I think he talks to much when he teaches but we will work it out. 

We have una señora with fecha (date) for this Saturday, she kept saying she wants to know it all before baptism but with the testimony of a member this Sunday during gospel principle class she felt prepared. The two kids with fecha (date) we had last week went on vacation but this week we finally found the mother. She can progress and wants the best for her kids. When they get back I hope to get her to church. That is always a struggle. Anyway that's about it. Super tired and a little stressed but things are going well.

Love you 

Elder Wray

P.S. Elizabeth is spoiled!
