Entertaining Myself.......

I say it was an interesting week for a few reasons, mainly, because of my comp situation. It’s going better. It’s still hard and I’m really, really bored A LOT of the time. BUT... I have figured something out to help. I seriously speak my mind. He is probably annoyed by now, but I don’t care. I hate silence, so I literally speak my mind all day. If I think something, anything, I say it out loud. And just wait and see if he gives any reaction or says anything back. Usually not, so I just go on and keep talking, pretty much to myself. It’s like I’m taking my dog for a walk… talking to him. Then once in a while you get some kind of reaction like he barks or stops to pee, well that’s about how exciting my day gets. When my companion stops to sniff something, it’s just always something new. You never know what’s going to happen next or when he will say something next. So I just talk pretty much alone. OH and I sing too. I sing with myself. Sometimes it gets fun. Cuz I try to get him to also but it doesn’t work. So I just keep singing. I wonder if he will ever just be like Dude! Elder Gray …. Shut up! I don’t think so. Maybe it’s entertaining to him. Well either way it entertains me. You will see. I have started taking more videos. They are kind of pointless and stuff but they are fun! I find it entertaining. I think I might be weirding myself out just trying to find something to do at times, like a dog chasing a car. But once I would catch it, I probably wouldn’t know what to do with it, so I just go with the flow and try to be happy and entertain myself! It seems to be working ok so far.

Elder Tucker though, he is in my district, he is a life saver. He is probably for sure my best friend of the mission so far. We are good friends so it’s really, really nice having him in my district.

This week was good; we had this stuff called Conquilhas. Weird! They were some kind of sea food stuff in a shell. I don’t know what it is in English. I asked a native, and well he said its slang for a bad word, well more like a crude word, so I won’t say it. Anyway, maybe you can figure it out? If you do, let me know cuz I’m dying to know what I ate.

This week at church was good, small, small as usual. I think we had 13 people there! Yay! What a number eh!!! And I was called on out of the blue to talk. Eh pa...It was kind of hard, but I think I did fine. I probably totally slaughtered the Portuguese though. Oh well... But yeah, things are going slowly but surely. The work here is so tough! We just don’t have that much we can do and teach. But we do have one investigator I love named Ramiro. He is way cool! He said he will come to church next week so I'm hoping for the best!! I love you all so much! Thank you for all you do for me. I hope everything is going great for you.
LOVE YOU!!!
