My dear Family,

Well this week was alright not a ton happened! Let’s start off about mother’s day! Well I don’t know when I get to call home but I do get to you Skype and I can talk/Skype for 45 mins! So that will be fun! Can you guys hook the computer up to the TV and then I will be on a big screen! If it is one of the new TVs you probably can do that cuz I had to do it here for some people to watch general conference in their house! Hahaha that was interesting! So gentry went to prom who took her? Do I need to start praying that they stay away from her????? Well transfers are on the 2^nd of May! So I will probably know tonight if I will stay or if I will leave for a new area! I think I will leave! Well we had interviews with President and he said to my companion get ready to train a new missionary! But we will see I like Smith but he does some really weird stuff! Like stuff I am like what are you doing! Its funny he wakes up and we pray but he has to like walk a little bit so he can be awake to pray! Then he rubs his feet for like forever and a half! It’s really funny when he stretch’s he can’t keep his legs straight to touch his toes! I told him keep your legs straight and he was like this is as straight as they go and I was like liar to touch your toes you need to bend at the waste not the knees! It’s funny because he is almost like sitting in a chair to touch his toes! Something else really funny this week I was making a contact and I was writing this guys address and Smith just rips one,  like a loud one to! I was trying so hard not to laugh during this! What was funny is I looked at him while I was  writing like are you serious look and he just shrugged his shoulders! Hahahaha it was so funny! Well President Cordon visited our stake conference meeting! And I was sitting with a less active member that was there! He is boy  16 years old I was talking to him! I am really good friends with him and his family, we are teaching his family and I told him that I will probably leave the for a new area and he says to me is that your president of the mission right and I said yes it is and he is like I am going to talk to him! After the conference he went talked to him and I was like crap what his he saying to him! After I asked him what did you say?  He said that I want Elder Gray to stay he is really helping me become more active in the church and he can’t leave because we are good friends and he is teaching my family! I was are you serious and he was like ya dude we will probably have another transfer together!  I will cry if I leave this area I love it here I will have to leave my Brazilian mom here! last night we were at her house last night and she I was talking with her and she will be really sad if I leave as we were leaving she gave me the heart sign with her hands she is so cute hahaha Well I ran into that rock and roller dude that invited me to the bar with him! Hahahah he was bro I didn’t see you there man what happened! I was like ya sorry dude we were very busy and didn’t have time to pass by maybe next time and he was like dude it was totally sick I was totally jamming out on the piano man! Hahahaha I was ah serious! He was like yaaaaa brooo! hahaha I was like sorry bro I had to talk about Christ with people that really need help! He said its cool bro Christ is good! Hahaha and we left it at that!  it was funny we were walking the street and talking to people and this girl looked like she was 20 years old and came up to me and said are you American I was like no I am from Rio Grande do sul! Hahaha another state in Brazil and she was like serious! ya then I told her I was joking and told her I was American and then she said to me you want to go on a date with me??? I was almost laughing and I said to her that I was sorry that I can’t take you on a date but I can teach you about Christ! And she wasn’t very happy about that but she did give me her address to pass and teach her! Hahaha she was pretty well she was really pretty but it was really funny at the same time hahahaha! Not a lot more happened this week played soccer again this week and I totally destroyed it was really fun! I am getting better at soccer so that is cool! I guess that is all experiences that happened this week! Ohhh one more thing remember Emerson the guy that we baptized at the first of this month well he has gone missing! :( He left Friday night to go to the gym and has not returned home! :( and Friday and Saturday was straight rain! I want to have positive thoughts that he is still alive but I think some one killed him!:( So please pray for him! ;( That is cool that Gentry gets to have a make a  wish.  I wish  she would choose something else! Like to have President Monson visit her cool brother here in Brazil and hang out with me all day! That would have been cool if she wished for something like that! :) But whatever I am just not loved here! Haha jk! I love you sis! Hey if you find anything cool for me I want it! Hahaha oh so did Elder Jackson visit you guys!? If not I don’t know what we can do! Well I love you guys very much! Have a good week love you guys!!

Love Elder Gray!
