Dear people reading this,

Hello! How are you? I am… hot! Paranaguá is warming up to nice 100 degrees with like 500% humidity… so terrible!! This is the closest I have gotten to swimming on my mission We have a huge fan in our house which saves our lives haha.

This week was one of miracles. Fristly, President came to our stake conference to give a talk. It was amazing (as always). Then after lunch he interviewed our zone.I LOVE interviews with President.. I didn’t want to leave!! He is such an intelligent and powerful man. Its interesting how people are attracted (not in looks) to these kind of people. Happy people make other people happy. If you hang out with sad people who complain a lot, you become sad and complain a lot, its so simple!!! So if you want to be happy, find happy people! IF you want to be rich, find rich people!! Haha

So this week we had 2 miracle baptisms. They haven´t happened, YET! This Saturday we will be baptizing three people in total. Remember our recent converts Nei and Flores? Yeah we are totally baptizing their dad and two of their friends. We are teaching a few more which will be baptized in the upcoming weeks. We are really going for baptizing every week. I know its possible and have faith we can do it, now I just need to work even HARDER!! Yes!! One of the boys getting baptized walked up to us after stake conference and said “I want to get baptized.. what do I have to do?” how AWESOME is that!!!

Well, seeing as how its thanksgiving an all, I will share with you what I am thankful for. First and foremost, I am grateful for the opportunity I have to be a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ here in Brazil. I am grateful for my mission president and companion and all  that they do for me. I am EXTREMELY grateful for my parents and the sacrifices they all do for me. I am grateful to have such a wonderful group of friends that are all my heros. I am grateful for the privelige I have to have grown up in Poway, CA and to go to BYU. I am so thankful for the blessings the Lord has given m on the mission. I am thankful for the opportunity to be a member of the church of Jesus Christ and that my family also is a part of his church. I am thankful for so many things, and have so little time. Have a happy thanksgiving and eat some mashed potatoes and turkey for me!!

I love you all, sorry for the short letter! Have a wonderful week and share the gospel!!

Love,
Elder Parker Boyack
