I feel like we've been on a #prayforeldergraybill roller coaster for the last twelve weeks.  Thanks for sticking out the ride with us.  He didn't have a lot of time today and so his email is short and he said he would try and respond to everyone as soon as he could.  He also told me he received a LOT of emails of support this week and he was very grateful to feel of the love from everyone.

A few things he shared with me that he said I could share.  I'll just share it as if I am him:

It was a REALLY great week.  I am definitely not homesick anymore.  But the pain is worse.  But I worked hard this week.  We have two families and two adults on track for baptism.  With everything going on, I still feel really calm.  My Spanish is not great but much better than it was.  I understand about 50 percent of what is going on.  I had Pizza Hut today and even though it's not the same as what we eat at home, it gets the job done.  Everything is so dirty here.  I have a new companion from Washington, Elder Beals.  He goes home in 6 weeks.

This last week was really weird. Two of the Elders in my district including my comp finished their missions. That was hard to deal with. But I spent a lot of time with Elder Thompson this week and I learned a lot from him. He was the Zone leader and a great leader. He has helped me so much with my desires and testimony for a mission. We did not miss Thanksgiving and I know all of you were super worried. We had intercambios and made food and ate and talked about what we were grateful for. I am grateful for my Savior and all that he has and will do for me. 


As for my health, I talk with the specialist tomorrow to see if I am being sent home. It is the final step. But whatever happens, is all apart of the Lords plan. So I am mentally prepared for whatever. Sorry for no pictures but I forgot my camera at my house. Talk to you guys later!!!!!!!
