Well hello my family how are you guys doing this week??

Well let’s start out by saying that it is fricken hot here in this area like holy crap! And the people here are saying that it is cold!  I am like dyeing hahaha but ya I put my hydration pack in and it is really saving my life! Well so we had 1 baptism this week it was awesome! His name is Gabriel he is15 years of age and he is going to be one awesome stud in the church! His baptism was very spiritual he cried after and his mom and his brother were almost in tears so I think that we will baptize his brother next week for sure! The members here are really good they really like me I don’t think they like my companion that much but they really like me! Like yesterday we had lunch in a house of some members and the whole time they were asking Elder Gray is the food good and I said ya it is great I think after I could die and be satisfied for eternity!  And they didn’t even ask my companion if the food was good! hahahahaha it was really funny! But ya this area is really good we have a lot of people that need the gospel here! The only problem is that everyone is not married! If they would just be married it would be ton a easier to baptize here! Like we have people here that want to be baptized but they don’t want to pay to be married! But besides this everything is good it is a little hard to know where I am at because they don’t have any street signs here so that is a little hard! But about my shoes they are doing fine after I got them fixed. but the only problem mom is that I don’t have my church shoes on right now because we played ball but my soccer shoes are size 11 in brazil size they are 42. Well that is good to hear that all you guys are doing well! Yah I would like to take that 8 week math class to pass all the math for college when I get back! Hey mom have you started to look for scholarships for me?? It wouldn’t be a bad idea to start looking for some scholarships for me! But I am doing fine I have lost about 2 pounds so that is good! No our apartment is different than Elder Morris’s he was in a different area than me! But everything is going well here for me no need to worry about me! I love you guys a lot take care and have a good week!

Love Elder Gray
