Oh so this week was really intresting! We will start off what happened Tuesday after lunch we were walking in the street and talking well I was talking because my companion has like no social skills out side of teaching lessons! But this old lady turned the corner in front of us (she was walking) and she ripped the biggest fart that I have ever heard! Hahahaha the more funny part is that she was laughing after hahahahah! Oh my it was so funny we were trying so hard not to laugh because we are representives of Christ! But as we passed and turned the corner everything came lose hahahaha! I almost peed my pants laughing! After this we were working with this family for like a month now and had a baptismal date and all that well we were talking with him asking if he has prayed about the Book of Mormon and how he feels and he says to us that he wants to stay in his church! So we started teaching the first lesson again with him and all that and I did the first vision which I got it memorized! Ya baby! After we were talking and I asked him do you believe that Joseph Smith saw God and Jesus and he yes I do believe, my next question was will you follow Christ example and be baptized! hahahaha he said no, I was like what? You believe in Joseph Smith you love our church and you know that the Book of Mormon is true so why not! He said “ I want to stay in my little church” with this like jerky grin which I wanted to smack! Well after all that we finally got him to commit to a date! ONE thing I was not happy about was that we didn’t have baptism this week but I am pretty sure that we are going to have one next week! So we will see! But oh another funny thing! When you have been in an area as long as I have you get to know people that you don’t teach but your friends with them! Like I have a gang of bikers here, I have another gang of rock and rollers! A gang of skaters and bmxers! Hahaha well we were walking the street one night and this car stops and the dude was come here so we went over and it was one of the rock and rollers and he was dude (he only knows me not the other elder! hahaha) we are performing tonight well all night you totally can come if you want! I was like where just to be kind! He was like at the bar that is pretty close to your guy’s house! I was like really that is awesome! He was like ya dude! He was high! But I said to him maybe some other time I got people I need to talk to about Christ! He said I respect you, that you sacrifice your time to help others! I was like thanks and he was like if you get time dude stop by! I was alright we will see what happens! He drives off and says I love the Elders with the rock and roll hand sign! hahahaha what was sad we didn’t go! Hahaha I was totally fine with that! I also made a division with one of the elders from Lapa Elder Finato! It was so nice to kick it with him for one day because he knows how to play the ukulele! He was helping me I can almost play I’m yours by Jason mraz! Yah baby!!! But it was funny we were walking the streets and he was like dude I want that I was alright! He bought a DVD player! Hahaha it has games and basically everything! I was like alright but after this we got to go to work! And he was like deal! After that we taught 8 lessons hahaha we totally killed it! We stayed up all night just talking and having a good time it was so much fun i didn’t want Elder Smith to return! But all good divisions end some time right! But it was awesome! This week was pretty good! Well so I haven’t written that sister back in a little bit and I got letters today and she wrote me a letter basically like chewing me out because I have written her in like 2 weeks! Hahaha I feel a little bad, not much just a little! But what sucks is that I have to write her in Portuguese and it takes forever for me to write in Portuguese! That is about it for this week! I was really surprised to see how much dad wrote me this week! Whoop, whoop is he starting to be a man of some words or what! Hahah love you dad thanks for the quote I like that one! Besides all of this I am doing good! And mom no I have not washed my sheets but now that I have the other pair I will! Hey mom are you trying to get me robbed out here that back pack is cool but basically every Brazilian will notice it! :( So now you can prayer for my safety! I will try and to put the one tube with the little pump thing inside so it looks more like a normal back pack! Thanks for the package I really loved it! I gave the little foot powder away to my Zone leader he has been hurting between you know where for 2 weeks, I was like ouch and he told me dude it is like purple there and I was like do you have any gold bond or anything he was like no I was like well this is for feet but I bet it will work so I gave it to him so we will see how he turns out poor guy! Hahahaha WELL this week was pretty good! I love you guys so much!
Love Elder Gray
