Hello, hello, hello!! Oh my goodness, it’s about time I get to write [with a computer]! It feels like it’s been so long!! I actually don’t have that much time to write today, so it’s going to be pretty basic. Sorry.
OK, first things first… My P-Day is Wednesday, so that’s when I’ll be writing. The address for sending packages is the mission home, which is:
Portugal Lisbon Mission
Rua Jorge Barradas 14C
1500 Lisboa
Portugal
My new address of my apartment that you can send letters to (and please do!) is:
Rua Almeida Garrett Nº4, 2ºA
Agualva - 2735-423
Portugal
Please spread the word!
[Editor’s note: The apartment address above is correct. Those little o's in the first line are correct. They are the Portuguese equivalent of the 'th' in 4th or the 'nd' in 2nd. - Brent]
OKAY...so everything is going good! It’s all been so, so busy!! It’s way cold though. The food…well is very not that good, so I please ask a few things. Top Ramin! It’s light, very quick and easy. Also maybe like easy Mac ‘n Cheese. My comp. eats ONCE a day! It’s crazy! I eat much more! Also....please, please...HOT COCOA! It’s SO cold here; they don’t believe in heaters!!!! Our apartment is so cold.
My companion, he is amazing!! I love him. We get along awesome. He is a huge snowboarder!! He’s way cool and very obedient. I love it cuz it helps me be very obedient, too! Our mission president is so awesome!!! He is for sure the most spiritual guy I have EVER met. At times I wonder where the water keeps coming from, from in his eyes...that doesn’t happen to me. haha
I really like my area. It’s all just apartments, no houses at all, it’s crazy. They are all made from straight concrete. NO insulation! So, ya we freeze 24-7. I could never ever live here. (Well, except for the next 2 years of course! Haha) They don’t believe in heaters or air conditioners cuz they think the breeze of it can make you horribly sick and die. It’s the weirdest thing I have ever heard of!
About the language, uhhhh, I do not understand anything. It is horrible. It’s so frustrating!!!! I want to just be able to talk! But I do bear testimony and sometimes teach some principles about certain things in the lesson. Last night I taught about the atonement twice. It went pretty good, I think. It was really cool and I did enjoy it. I can only understand the very basics...but, oh well, it will come!
Sorry, I gotta go. I love you all so, so much! I’ll update you more next time. Feel free to keep writing and send mail and stuff. Maybe send a letter to my comp, too. He hasn’t had real mail since last April and it was a Dear John. But he said it was good riddance. Anyways, I love and miss you all muito!!
Love,
Elder Gray
