Happy Valentines Day from the one you all love so dearly.. haha just kidding. So wow can I first start off by saying thank you so much for your email. It really helped a lot. I loved it and Dad your words really strengthened me. Mom I love you and thankful for your comforting and happy and funny words :) It made my day today. So yes I am actually in the mission home right now writing because Elder Pico is in his departing interview. he leaves this Wednesday. he is just heading home a transfer early because the doctor told him tha he would not be better before he left. so tomorrow is transfer conference and I will be getting a new companion. The good news is that I am not getting transferred :) yay I love it here in Passaic it really is the best and the people are awesome. I love them. The language has been coming along a lot of people are surprised I have only been out here two months and can speak as well as I can. But I think they are just being nice haha. seriously tho this place is the best. The storm did not hit horribly bad where I am at we still got like a foot of snow and the roads were pretty bad. so we weren't allowed to drive on Friday. but that's ok. This week was really fun because Elder Pico was going all out since it was his last week out here. We did a lot of work and had a lot of fun doing it. oh and I kind of broke the word of wisdom twice yesterday. I drank tea but I didn't know it until after I took a sip.. and it was at a membershouse. maybe we should teach word of wisdom next time ;) we let her know that it was tea and thankfully she took it away and gave us orange juice instead.
Then we got fed 3 times in a row last night and they were all big meals. When I was in bed I felt like I had bricks in my stomach... and we have like 2 dinner appointments tonight.. I am not excited. We had another lesson with Dayanara and it was really cool. She didn't want to pray but then here mom bore her testimony on how bad she feels know because her father used to ask her to pray and she never did. she explained how important it really is. It was powerful.
Oh my anxiety is doing well this week. Like I feel really good. Itreally is gaining my testimony that this work is real and that God lives and Jesus Christ lives that helps me relax and feel peace. When I take a moment to just think of them and realize that they both know exactly how I feel and that they are really there and love me I feel really good. I love it. And as a missionary we just get to bring others unto Christ and help them feel that same thing and that helps me feel even better. The good things of the mission always help me forget the hard things. Just like the saying, nothing good comes easy. So yes I love you family soo much and I know that God and Christ really love you so much too. The gospel is really real. :)
Love Elder Boyer
P.S. I am really excited to get the goodies also and the package. oh and I will make sure to keep praying for you all. especially you dad you got this. love you.bye
