DEER family and friends (HA! Get it??

Feliz natal! Merry Christmas! Just got off the phone talking with the family. Man its nice to talk to them. Here it doesn´t seem christmasy so its hard to really enjoy it but the presents and telephone call were awesome J Things are going well here. I felt terrible yesterday but got some rest and im feeling a lot better. The work here is pretty slow especially during this time. Pretty much everyone told us to come back around January 7th.. But we are working hard so things will start going well

This weekend we have a baptism, her name is Rosali. Her husband has already been baptized but she had a bad smoking problem. She finally stopped but wanted to wait a month to make sure she would have no problems, should be great! I talked to Elder Boswell and he said Ezequiel and Jandira STILL haven´t gotten baptized because she smoked again.. UGH! Man I REALLY hate cigarettes. Its a big problem here in Brazil you will see like 12 year olds walking around smoking. All it is is a waste of money, life and it makes you stink!! Plus its so addictive its really hard to stop. Man I am grateful we have the Word of Wisdom and that I never had any problems with it..

Christmas eve was pretty uneventful,  I was feeling terrible so I just went to bed early, then this morning I woke up early and we went to a members house and made pancakes with maple syrup J yumm. Then we played some soccer and then had lunch at a members house, then made our calls home. Well I am out of time but I wanted to wish you all a merry Christmas!

I am so grateful for our savior and everything he did for us. Without him we are nothing. A missionary told me the other day he was feeling really down and saw a quote on his wall that said “you are never alone”. AMEN! Remember that always. I love you all! Have a good week!

Love,
ELDER BOYACK
