Hey Guys,

This week has been good. Our investigators our doing well. We are going to have 2 baptisms this week. Agustin the son of a recent convert, his father is going to baptize him. And Florencia the daughter of a menos activo, also excited for her baptism and has made friends with many of the youth in our ward. We are hoping to use the new things we learned in the assistants training this week. We are making invitations and we are going to go around with them to pass them out and hopefully find there friends a teach them.  We hope to find more people to teach this week. Embarrassing moment this week in church. Florencia who is going to get baptized on Saturday showed up with a really short dress. Like super short. I didn´t know what to do I didn´t want to send her home and I didn´t know how to tell her that her dress was to short. So I asked one of her friends in the ward to explain it to her. She did and I hope she understood. She told us she woke up late so maybe that was why but it was super embarrassing I am not sure why. 

Other then that not much is new we found a couple old women this week we almost always find old women I am not sure why maybe because they are always home. Some of them are good and I think we can baptize but I want to find some priesthood holders the ones we had dropped us. I need to set some good goals for the next few weeks.

We had interviews with President this past week which was good, Hna Heaton is so nice! I am going to miss them so much when they leave. It is super lame I will have a different mission President for the last 12 weeks of my mission. My interview with President was short as always, I think he was distracted about something else but he gave me some good advise.

This week we also had the opportunity to do service with two older Hermanas. One cutting a little bit of grass and the other fixing everything in her house. The second was more of a surprise. She is a recent convert and has about 78 years. Anyway we knocked on her door and she yelled you are the answers to my prayers. Her bed had fallen and was on only 3 legs. For three nights she had been sleeping lopsided. She called her daughter who lives 6 blocks from her house but she never came. I fixed it in a couple minutes then I fixed her phone and tv which were plugged in wrong. Haha! She was so happy. While I was fixing the tv she called her daughter and told her "don't worry about coming anymore I have 2 new children and I love them."   

This week I also made Chili. Elder Myers gave us some packets and we didn´t have lunch one day and they were siting there and smell super good so I made some. It wasn´t till I sat down to eat that I realized it was more of a cold weather food and we are in dead summer but it was super good. Elder Camejo has never had it and wants me to make it again. I improvised a little and it turned out good just wish it was more spicy. Anyway that's about it. I will send pics this next week and let you now how the baptisms went.

Love You

Elder Wray
