Dear world,
How is everyone? Tell me about it, life is hard! Haha anyways this letter will be pretty quick because everyone and their grandma decided to write me an email so I spent most of my time reading!! (which is NOT a bad thing, keep it up!) Anyways this week was good.
On Thursday night to Friday night me and Elder Spendlove did a division with the Zone Leaders. I stayed with Elder Kendrick in our area and Spenlove went and stayed with Elder Barros. It was awesome! Our zone leaders are the coolest guys and I really learned a lot working with him.
On Sunday I gave a talk about an experience we had (bishop wanted it to be a good 2 minute experience to get the members excited about mish work) so it happened just the day before. We were walking to lunch when Elder Spendlove decided to take a route we NEVER take and whats even weirder is it was raining and the other route was a dirt road (rain+dirt road=MUD) but we went and we were walking along the BR (freeway) and an old couple had a flat tire! He had no idea how to fix it so I got to work. While I changed the tire Elder Spendlove talked with them about who we are and what we do. They live in São Paulo so he gave them a pass along card and told them to call the number and the missionaries will come to their house. I am convinced this is the Lords work and he will provide us with opportunities to share the gospel, we just need to listen to the spirit.
It’s the middle of the summer but all week it has been cold and rainy! Pretty werid but I like it J
So we have some good investigators, one is Vaginor. HE is a really smart guy who has been to every church and doesn’t like any of them. He loves ours and loves studying the Book of Mormon. We will baptize him, but he first needs to get married. His wife isn’t interested at all and I think hates us haha. It was hilarious though because yesterday we needed him to talk to his wife and see if she wanted to get married so he said, “HONEY, do you want to marry me?” haha it was HILARIOUS but she said sure (haha) so we will get that dnoe for them and then baptize him!
We also have a new investigator (Ricardo) who came to church. We taught him the first lesson and he loved it. He heard a lot of rumors about our church but every single thing he heard was BOGUS so he is happy. He likes to read so we gave him PLENTY haha. We challenged him to baptism and he said if he gets an answer of the BOM being true he will so pray for him!!
The work is going good. Transfers are next week but I am pretty positive I will stay here with Elder Spendlove.
Well I am out of time. I love you all! Have a good week!
Elder Boyack
