July 23 2012


Well hello my family!
Wow so another week has gone by the time is flying here! So it has gotten really hot here and I am drinking water like there is no tomorrow! But it is all good! So kaiana had his farewell that is awesome he will be a good missionary he will learn a lot of stuff! Haha that is cool that lil Dick is going to put in his papers to go because it would really be a good experience for him! And my dear old friend Mr. Jared is married wow life now has changed for him! Hahaha but it will be good for him hey mom tell him to write me a letter that fool! Haha but that’s cool that all that good stuff is happening there! but ya for here I had a interview with President Cordon Friday it was really good I really like talking to him we sit there and joke around a little bit and talk about how everything is going! But ya that is about it we talked a lot about my companion he told me to be really patient with him and told me that tough love won’t help him! that was a little rough to hear because he is always complaining to me that something hurts or he is tired and I am like dude if you don’t think about it you will be just fine! Well he still has not put that into practice yet! So we will have to see! So we will have a transfer on the 25 and my companion keeps telling me that he is going to be transferred and that just gives him a lot of stress for some reason! But besides this everything is going good we found some new people to teach but their not married or they are breaking the law of chastity a lot which is really annoying but we will help them continue on!! so something really funny happened this week we knock on a door and this lady comes out she looked like she was  45 or 50 I really don’t know and she starts to preach to us how she has preached in 3 different countries and 8 states in brazil and that she has been serving for 16 years it was really funny but after this she was like I have seen God and Jesus face to face they appeared to me and to other people and I was wow this lady is crazy also I noticed that there was not a good presence there to so I was like well it was nice talking to you but we got to go we have other people to teach! And she was like lets pray and I was alright we will pray! she said to me take my hand and I looked at her really funny and she said take my hand with more force and I looked at her and I said no I will not take your hand to pray! And she was like what?? And I was like sorry I won’t take your hand and I will pray my way! well she wasn’t very happy about that and she was like fine so I prayed and then after she said to me that when you hold hands that there is more power in prayer and I was like in our church we don’t do this and if I remember correctly Jesus Christ never did this either! But I will never pass that house again! Hahahah but my companion was looking at me really weird and when we left he was like I can’t believe you said no to her and I was dude I was not going to hold her hand and he said ya me to in a really silent voice! So he was prepared to hold her hand and pray. Hahahaha but everything is good! The only thing I would like to have is some deodorant because the deodorant here is this weird funky stuff that doesn’t work! But so this! And I wrote Michael Perry back I am still waiting for him! Well have a good week love you guys!
Love,
Elder Gray
