Letter 28:: 4/15/2013

Well hello there everyone how are you?? It sounds like you had a good week and a stressful one too. I am sorry about that.. But hopefully you had a great birthday dad. Sounds like a crazy party you all had.haha. I promise I didnt forget your birthday if you didnt happen to get what I sent you yet..But keep on trucking in there in school. I know that you are doing great and I and a lot of others are praying for you. God hears all the prayers too :) You got this.
 So noah got his tonsils out... and anediods.. i dont even know what anediods are. Sounds rough, but I could see how Noah thought it was cool. tell him he is the man. The little man :)
 Sounds like Anika, Hayden and Abby all sang good. Good Job! You all should send some pics sometime. I want to know if you all have changed haha.
 Elizabeth moved.... Oh that makes me sad, I dont know what it is like to have someone else live in that house, she has been there my whole life.
 Well yes. We had Zone Conference on Friday and it was soooooooooo Good :) I am really happy to hear that you have heard so many good things from others at your work that Pres. Jeppson is a great guy. Because honestly he is awesome. I am really blessed to have him as my mission President and Sister Jeppson as well. They taught us so much good things in this last Zone Conference. The good thing as well is that they know how to have a good balance in everything. And that is exactly what I need. Like I said I learned so much. Every month we have a goal as a mission. And every April is consecration month. How we can truly be better missionaries who consecrate time, talents, and everything else to the lord. That is what the first half of Zone Conference was about.One really cool thing that we learned is that we arent just doing it this month so that we can go back to how we were in May. but truly to learn how to be consecrated members of the church the Rest of our lives. The work of the Lord is the most important work that can be done. I am not going to lie that as we were learning how to be more consecrated I started feeling guilty about not being a better missionary. There were a lot of things that I realized I could and need to do better.But that is when the balance came in. after realizing how we all need to to better pres. and sister jeppson taught the Atonement. It was amazing. We learned that all of us need the Atonement of Jesus Christ. That is makes "bad men good and good men better" and women too of course :) but they dont really need to get better haha. And that we should not dwell on the missionary we were but on being the missionary we want to become. and it is the same in everyones life. Through the Atonement we are cleansed from sin and also given the power to overcome sin, trials.'Everything that is unfair in life is made right through the Atonement' . I really learned how we can become better each day. Just like your scripture you sent
 me. that as we increase in light each day it will grow brighter and brighter until the perfect day. That is soo cool. I love it. Anyways.. I learned a lot. A lot about teaching pure and simple doctrine too and
 not complicating it. So yes it was amazing. The spirit was really strong, we had a lot of fun, and ate a lot of food :)
 So yes this week was really good as well. We set up too baptismal dates, and one is next week with Adolfo who we have been struggling with lately but we had a fast and a really strng lesson on the
 atonement and true conversion and he took it to heart. The other baptismal date is with Rodolfo. He is a man that is super prepared. His second week in church he stood up and said he knew the church was true. he is also dating a member who is super awesome. We had a lesson with him yesterday and saturday and set his baptismal date in two weeks. He is so ready and will be awesome. Oh and the other good news is. They announced in church yesterday we will be getting a chapel in Passaic. Everyone was super excited because they have been waiting for this for a long time. And we as missionaries have been working on it as well. It is super cool.
Other than that I have some sad news... My ipod literally disappeared.. I have looked everywhere and cannot find it. So I just had a favor to ask aaron or anyone that knows how. If he could just make two cds for me. one with all my conference talks and another with all my church music including that new byu mens choir one because I cant really get it. I would Love that soo much. Thank you sorry for
 the big hastle. and who knows . maybe my ipod will turn up one of these days. but I wont worry about it too much this other stuff is more important :)
Well other than that I hope you have a great week. I am excited as well. There are only two weeks left in the transfer and I dont know how much more time I have here in Passaic so I will give it my all!
Love You all So Much!
Elder Boyer
