Hello gray family and others that read!!!

Well this week we had a great blessing so Ricardo was baptized!! But who baptized him was our zone leader I was not very happy about that but he choose our zone leader to baptize him so I can’t complain it is just good that he got baptized!! It was hard work to get it because he has a really strict work schedule to follow and he only has little windows to work with us but in the end it was good and done! And no they don’t have ST, Patrick’s day here. Well let’s talk about this week!! I really am getting sick and tired of my companion like I really hope that I get transferred I don’t want to stay here in this area anymore, I don’t want to be with him anymore! Like it is really starting to get really old with him because everything has to be about him! And I am giving up on trying to help him out like it is ridiculous I really do feel really bad for his mom and his wife in the future because they will suffer. so we found this dude that owns a skate shop and I was like I have never been in a Brazilian skate shop so lets see what is in here I went in and I started looking around and I saw a rip stick and I was like does anyone ride this here and they were like the manager, and I was like I want to see and so they got the manager and we got talking and I was like I would like to see you ride that and he was alright but he can get on top and ride it  holding on to stuff and I was like wow that is cool man and he was like you try it and I was like no, no I am fine (thinking in my head oh I got this so easy!!) but he kept on insisting that I get on and try it and I was like alright so I get on I started to ride it like it was nothing and they were shocked and named me the king!!! hahaha it was super funny we got talking about our church and they said stuff about their churches then I was like dude we got to go and the manager ( Giovan his name) was like dude what size of shoe do you wear and I told him and he comes walking out and was look dude I want you to have these shoes! and I was like no I am alright I don’t have money to buy and I would not be able to wear them here and he was like look they were used once, but they looked brand new, he was like I cant resale the shoe if it was used even once so he was like here take it and I was like are you sure and he was like 100% and I was like alright man so I got new skater shoes here hahaha they are like a maroon color like Lone Peak! so that was cool and I offered them to come and learn English with us on Saturday and they were like ya sweet so we marked in front of the store and then we would all go to the church! so we marked to meet at 8:20 in front of the store and I told my companion look dude at 8:10 we are going to leave the house you know what happened, my companion was so late that we got there at 8:45 and my comp said dude where are they at and I was like they are probably at their house because we didn’t come here on time and I don’t blame them and he was like why is it my problem and I was like yes it is! and then he started to go off on me in the street and people started looking at us and I was like dude this is super not cool that this is happening right now dude like lets go to our house and there we can talk! and he was like no we are talking here so I was like do you want to talk and I told him everything that I was sick and tired of him doing and where he is wrong and I even told him, go home don’t stay here another transfer and do this stuff I really hope that you end with honor! but he got mad and I saw that he put his hand into a fist and I was like o crap we might go to a fist fight here in the street and that is going to be super embarrassing and so I started walking to the house and when I got passed him I put my ring in my pocket just in case he was going to throw a punch! he started calling me a girl and I was like dude that is not cool like lets go and do our studies now since they didn’t come lets go please and he was like no we are going to stay here and I was like alright dude well I am going if you don’t come it will be your problem and he started to follow me and I was walking home and he is still yelling at me and we get into the house and I put my stuff down and he is still spouting off and I looked at him and I was like sorry! he went off don’t tell me sorry and more stuff and I was like dude we are men and we are acting like children here so we can stop being children or we can be men and have a nice conversation or we can end in a fist fight then we can walk away hating one another for the rest of are lives and I was like you pick because I am fine with whatever! Then he stopped and I was like alright let’s talk and we started talking but it didn’t go anywhere because his head is made of steel and nothing works! But ya that was wonderful! So earlier today we went and played basketball with the zone and I really liked it! I was always against my comp which was great because I know how he plays and I know that he is a straight up right hander so I used that to his weakness! I stuffed him like three times and took the ball away from him 4 times! There was one time that he went up to shoot and was like nope I jumped and palmed the ball and threw it the ground and who went also to the ground was him! Hahaha then he got up all pissed off because he got rejected so badly and then he started to play dirty ball and I was like alright its time to end and everyone was just hating on him because he was doing so much crap and saying things! Like I need to be transferred and I can’t take it anymore with him! But a good thing is that we have a lot of good people now that we can work with and help and so that is awesome! But I hope all of you had a good week! I love you guys!

Love,

Elder Gray
