first letter home

Hey mommy and family! so i wrote you a letter to and i want to see how long it takes you to get it! so you basically get two of the same messages. i am good and i was just smiling for the picture ya i was super tired. my compainon is Elder Evans he is a red head kid and looks like jacob converse my favorite! not! he doesnt talk much and if we do talk it is about politics and that is super boring and so it doesnt last that long! he is not that cute for the girls. um i have gotten really close to the people in my district. Especially this one named Elder Een he is a super tight kid he is from st george and me him and his compaion elder allen and elder morris usually stay up and talk about stuff a lot of profound conversations we have had! my district leader is super gay he is another red head from idaho and his name is Elder Hawkes he is really quite and doesnt know how to work through with problems with people and he is really heavey on the rules he always has his rule book out and telling people all the rules! as far as portugues goes i am really struggling with it and it is coming really slow to me which is making me really really mad! the food here is alright breakfast just blows and i hate it! i miss breakfast at home. i miss you guys this whole week has been pretty rough and i miss you so much and i love you a ton! i have never spent as much time praying on my knees this past week in my intire life! tell dad to keep sending me those thought things i really like them! the brazilians in the mtc down here are super nice they always come up to me and say elder gray how are you and tell me to forever smile because they love my smile! it took me forever to find the picture of the family the brazilians always show me pictures of there familys and say where is yours. so send me pics by mail i think there were suppose to be some in the letter that you sent me from missionary ties but there wasnt any! ah i am going to use my debit card today to purchase like a treat to show that i am in brazil cuz i didnt have time at the airport to buy something! so there is a time limit on how long i can email you so i am being breif and that is why i sent you a letter to! i love getting letters from you! tell the girls that the people from highschool who want to write me have to mail me cuz i can only respond to email from parents that is what they said atleast. and tell jarrett to send me a letter i would love to hear from him! my emailing time that i can go and email is wednesday after one so that might help a little bit! went through the temple down here it was pretty intresting in portuguese! i love you and miss you guys so so so so so so very much!
