Dear Family,
So I leave the CTM next Tuesday that is freakin crazy!! Hahahahahah yet very exciting! So I loved the presents I got especially the cologne because I was free breezing my self to smell good hahahah!! So that was good to have some cologne now!! One of the missionaries in my district was totally jealous of my Utah stuff because he was a big Utah fan! While we are on college teams if you can could you send me BYU shirts or like shorts like cheap ones cuz I could trade them for like money here or for soccer jerseys or for like other things because the members down here love BYU and would do anything to get it because it cost them a ton more to buy it over the internet! Christmas was cool I liked it but then I didn’t! So Christmas eve was on a Saturday so we had gym all day then after lunch we watched the Muppet’s movie in Portuguese that was a night mare. Well I got a new tie from the CTM which was cool! Saturday was super relaxed nothing much going on and food was good! Christmas day we got to sleep till 8 then after we went to breakfast and then sacrament and then had the rest of the day to sleep basically we watched the old scrooge movie in English which was good! I forgot to tell you so we had a devotional Christmas eve night and we had mission presidents there and quorum of the 70 people there and I was talking to this kid in like the middle of all these missionaries and President Clark was like we will have Elder Jay Colton Gray say our opening prayer and I was like hey that is my name and it didn’t register that I was saying the prayer till my companion said did you know that your saying the prayer?? I told him are you serious I am saying the prayer and he was like ya it is not usual for them to not assign some that on the spot you usually got it in a week in advance! So I look at Sister Clark and pointed at me and she smiled and shook her head yes and my face went like serious and I put a fake smile on and was like ok! So after we sing the opening song and I was freaking out I walked up there and they were like start out in Portuguese and if you don’t know what else to say, say it in English I was like alright and I am shaking bad!! So I get up there and do it in all Portuguese and I don’t remember a word I said but what made me happy was that Sister Clark and President Clark said I did really good which is awesome!! Oh we had an ice cream buffet which was really good! We had a Christmas day devotional and we watched the first presidency message and that made me home sick really bad like I was like beside my self after that! I could not keep it in! It didn’t feel like Christmas till after that! :( That is my letter for the week I love and miss you guys so much! Oh tell Matthew Smith thank you for the package to me I received that Christmas Eve and I wrote him back in a letter and sent it today! Love you!!!
Elder Gray
