Hey Guys,

This week was alright. Well really it could have been better. We don´t have many investigators right now and the one we have we struggled to find this week. I had hopes for conference, we were waiting for 7 people that I thought were really committed but at that last moment they didn´t come. I was a little frustrated we will see what happened this week. We possibly have 3 baptisms this weekend, Enzo(10), Romina(9), and Maycol(8). They have come to church 6-7 times in a row by themselves and we have tried for 7 weeks to find the mother but she just is not that interested. Today we are going with the Bishop and his wife to talk with the mom to see if she is willing to support her kids. We will see what happens, her kids want to be baptized but without the mom I don´t know. 

Conference was good, it was a little frustrating. The whole first session the bishop, a couple other missionaries and I tried to fix the connection because every 10 seconds it would cut out. It was kind of funny because he had to get on the roof so I helped him up so he could look at the giant dish while talking to tech support then he yells oh crap hey Elder Wray get a broom or a big stick. I thought he was going to prop something up. But when he got down he looked terrified and told me it was to kill a big spider. Haha, I just laughed! In the end when almost all hope was up and we were trying to jerry rig the projector to a lap top the signal came in and we saw the guy give the closing pray and that was it. Haha, poor bishop looked so tired. The next session we had to watch English in the family history center on the Internet. It gave me a head ache. The Internet was kind of slow we would hear one sentence then a pause then the next. I was just about to go and watch it in Spanish but it wasn´t the same. I still havent´seen all the Saturday morning session. But did they sure hound the obra misional it was great! I can´t believe how many missionaries there are. The work is being hurried. 

We also had interviews with President on Friday it was alright but my comp was worried because my interview was 15 min instead of the usual 5. We were discussing area boundary's for the hnas(sisters) that are coming. He also called me Thursday night at 9:25 as we were literally running home through down town. Just called to tell me we were having comp study together Friday morning. It went alright I think.

Not much new accept Elder Perez broke my name tag in half in his rage because I was to good a futbol. Haha it was an accident but was a bummer. I have to by a new one now.

 

We had a pretty crazy Saturday besides conference I wont go into much detail accept a crazy women sat next to my comp asked him to read the Book of Mormon then threw a condom at him. All while we were in the chapel. Then I received some really gross texts from someone. The women here are crazy. 

Anyway that's about it. Got to go.  Love you!
