Well i dont know about the talk that I have to give on Sunday. I think it will be hard but they didnt give us a topic so i am just preparing one on hope, i have most of it done but i will finish it today (i am writing it in portugues) and then Elder ***** will help translate it to spanish after i am finished. So i hope that goes well but we will see.
We are required to do a car fast every week. A car fast is going a day without using hte car so we just have to ride the bus and walk everywhere. Although now we have car trade-offs so we only get the car everyother week and it is annoying because this week we have been doing a bunch of bus riding and walking.
Well today we went and played basketball, Elder ***** is way good, and also Elder ****** and i have been getting along really well and he is way cool. He has been out here for almost 14 months so he will be home way before i do.
Sorry continuing on the day schedule, we are now emailing and will go grocery shopping after, then we are going to the Mall hopefully (because i need to buy a beanie, a light jacket, and i want a new wallet) and then we are going to the stake center to meet up with a bunch of missionaries and we will be playing basketball again. So thats all that we are doing today.

Thanks for the package
Thank you for the package, i got it the other day we all appreciated it a lot so thank you mom. And yes i missed your awesome breakfast this morning : (. Well the baptism was the other day and it went great and she was super happy, this next week is another one and i get to baptize him. I am excited but also nervous, i have to do the prayer in spanish so we will see haha.
Well i dont have a lot of adventures really because not much has been going on. I had zone conference and that was really cool, the zone leaders and ap's talked to us and the mission president and his wife. I also saw Elder ****** and he seems to be doing good and was in a good mood so that was pretty cool. He says hi.
We don’t shovel too much, we did on the day we got a ton of snow and it took us forever to shovel out all of the cars, we also helped push people through the snow and stuff. But other than that not much has been going on at all. Just getting ready for the baptisms and running around getting those already as fast as we can.
Today is going alright, i had breakfast and then did some scripture study.. Well that’s about all that’s gone on so far, we will teach later and then we will teach a couple in Spanish so that should be good too. After that i am going on Trade-offs. Trade-Offs are when the District Leader goes and evaluates all the missionaries so he has to go with the other ones and one of my companions is the district leader so i have to do it a lot.
It’s warming up a little bit but not too much. Well for baptisms we just have to make sure everybody is going to be there and constantly check to see if people are willing to do talks and stuff. We also have to make the program and print that off, make sure the font is filled, hymn books are in the room, everybody is ready and get everyone seated and the meeting started. So yeah, that’s it. The chapel isn’t very far only a couple of miles.
Well I really missed the Valentine’s breakfast, it didn’t even feel like a holiday at all so that was interesting. Today I am in Hastings, Michigan on trade-offs. Today we just have some less actives to teach and one investigator then we are doing service at a soup kitchen and then dinner at a members house. We just fixed a flat tire by filling the hole and everything so that was pretty easy and fast. So that’s all for today.

Yeah it is freezing here
Yeah it is freezing here still too. We got dumped on and couldnt drive the car because of bad driving conditions one day, so we just took a car fast. We still have to do door contacts but if i gets bellow 10 we aren't allowed to be outside for more than five minutes so we can't do contacts if it is that cold. But everything is going well, we have had some weird experiences such as getting cursed by some old dude. Also i got swindled out of 20 dollars by some guy on the street :(. I am a freaking idiot, but o well i just counted it as MSF money. But yeah other than those nothing new is going on really, just having a good ol time freezing in michigan.
I hope everything is going well in Utah and that you had fun with the grandparents. I miss and love you.
Eu te amo,
elder Boiteux
