Dear Family and Friends,

Well I had transfers today. I really thought I would stay in my old area but my comp Elder Boswell is training again, so I left! My new area is in south Curitiba and from what I have heard, is not doing to good. They don´t really have a good batch of investigators and their members don´t really go on splits. But I am going to change all of that (with the help of my comp, Elder Spendlove). He has been out for a year and 7 months and is from Monroe, Utah, some city in the middle of Utah. He is a really cool guy and we are going to have no problems. I wanted a Brazillian so I could practice my portuguese, but the Lord had other plans for me J

This week was great. Our second counselor took us to a Churrascaria where they walk around with big skewers of meat and give you whatever you ask for. Its BRAND new and realllly nice. Good stuff J I really love the members from my old ward, I was just getting to have good friendships with all of them, and I left without getting to say by to any of them, kind of hard for me. We had a Ward Chirstmas Dinner on Saturday, which went great. There were tons of investigators and tons of people brought their friends.

We had Everson marked for baptism but when we taught him the word of wisdom he told us he has a lot of problems with it. Which really bummed me out because he is the coolest guy ever. He told us he knows the church is true and wants to get baptized as soon as possible, and he is working hard to stop all the problems he has. I said bye to him last night and told him I want to hear about his baptism J

Ezequiel and Jandira didn´t get baptized either because we got a call from President saying we had to wait one more week to make sure Jandira has overcome her smoking problem. This is like the 5th time their baptism has been pushed back… ridiculous. BUT they are getting baptized this weekend, sadly I will not be there.

So talking a little bit more about transfers, we got a call Monday night telling us what was up. I have to tell you it was a complete surprise, I didn´t want to leave, and its hard for me to keep a positive attitude. I don´t know why but I have a hard time with change. But I know that’s one thing that I am going to get used to. The mission is awesome. It is incredibly hard work and really tries your emotions but I am so glad I am here. I am learning so much and even better helping people find the true church. Im not really good at writing spiritual letters and describing my feelings, but I do know this Church is true and am so grateful to be a missionary. Thanks for all your support and prayers, I love you!

Love,
Elder Boyack
