haha when members tell me i speak very well my comp chimes in saying ‘its cuz hes been here for 2 years already..’ technically ‘ year 11 months and 1 week but i swear im not counting, i just noticed that this morning lol. Things are going great here, im healthy again! Sorry last week i TOTALLY forgot to send an email, dont know how but i was recuperating from a nasty virus. You never really appiciate your health till you lose it for a little bit. The weather has been great, warmin up a little bit. Today we went to the temple, it was awesome (as always). Today President Araujo goes home… and now President Cordon is here! Im glad cuz before he left Prez had a special lunch with all the missionaires going home. He bascially did with our group what he does on the last day, but we still had 2 weeks left. It was very cool and I ate the most out of everybody I LOVE BRAZILLIAN FOOD!!!

As for the work its going…. slow. When i got sick i had to stay home (it was the first time i had barfed in like 6 years!!!) so that really made things harder. Things are picking up but we had something really sad happen with Fabio. He was doing SO great and we were going to mark a baptismal date with him but our bishop totally blew it… I wont go into details but to all those reading, a bishop has NO authority to interview investigators. Unfortuantely ours didnt know that and said some things that Fabio didnt like too much in the interview and now he wants nothing to do with the church…. i almost cried and poor Kelly (his future wife) was crying all week. Needless to say the bishop of this ward is famous for being an idiot… im just trying to have patience for two more weeks

The world cup here is CRAZY. Our bairro (neighborhood) is the worst. If brazil wins, im staying inside lol. I was totally rooting for usa but they dont play soccer very well and didnt make it too far. The bishops son came up to me after USA lost and said “Elder, seeing as how you are going home soon you might as well hitch a ride with the USA soccer team!” haha I almost punched him. Please pray for me… i need it. Satan really works hard on you at the end and its annoying. I love you all and appriciate your support. Have a great week!! Be a missionary!!

Elder Boyack

ps next week i write my last email…. HOLY COW.
