May 7 2012


Well hello my family how are you guys!

Well let start this letter off that no I didn’t get transferred I am still in Araucaria my first area I will leave this area June 13! Ya still have the same companion! Funny thing is that Irma Joana (Brazilian Mom) asked Sister Cordon to have me stay here! Hahaha so 2 people asked for me to stay here! The people in this ward love me! Ya me!! ! Well yesterday Emerson was not in church and so we left in the middle of church to talk to him! We found him at his house! And he said this Sunday no but next Sunday I will! I was like no you’re coming to church! Well he had his little girls with him and he was using them as an excuse! Well we basically used everything to get him to go I was praying in my heart for something to happen and I received revelation that I need to take his hand and say to him you will go to church this day (he said no) and I told him this is not Elder Gray saying this this is Heavenly Father saying this for you! After that we went to church! He got up and we took him and the girls to church! Well we got there and it was ending! But he did have an appointment set up with the bishop today so I will be interested to see what the bishop says to him!! So that is really good that he returned!
Well this week was pretty good I made a division with Elder Finato again this week! It was awesome I really like him he bought pizza!! But he knows how to work and to get things done! And again we stayed up all night talking! Hahaha it is interesting to hear what Brazilians do for fun here! Well this last Saturday I ate something really really weird! They have a dish called fejoada which is black beans and like parts of the pigs in it well the sister dished up our plates and on mine there was a big something I didn’t know what it was! So right here I am getting nervous like what the crap is this I asked my companion and he grabbed his ear! So right about now I am dying like this is a pig ear! In my mind I am thinking I give pig ears to my dog to eat this is disgusting! Well this is the same sister that gave me chicken feet and that we gave the foot cream to! FYI! So I am sitting here like crap what do I do! Because it had the hair on it and all so I am like wanting to throw up! So I start cutting it up into little pieces and sticking it with other stuff or other meat and eating it! It was nasty! I can’t believe I ate that but mom I promised you that I would eat everything that they gave me! After lunch my companion says to me that you are going to be sick! Sick like what?? He was like you will be throwing up and be crapping your pants I was like oh crap serious! He was like ya! Well look at me today I am fine I am not throwing up I am fine I am glad I have an iron gut some what! Hahaha so that is the funny gross story for this week! I am getting tired of my companion because he has no patients from me and he has even started telling me that people from Utah never learn to speak Portuguese right they always speak it wrong! And that really bugs me! And bugs me even more when he tells other people this! It really bugs me! Like I want to pick him up by his huge nose and tell him look bro I am learning so back up off me! Like that is ridicules! Well I am super excited that I get to talk to you guys on mother’s day! I talked with other elders today what to do is you guys need to plan how much each one of you guys will talk and you need to come prepared with a list of questions and be prepared! I only have 45 minutes to talk! But I am super excited! I get to Skype you guys! I really can’t wait! I love you guys! Have a good week love

Elder Gray!
