Still Surviving Scottsburg

     Things are going well, this week! Elder Williams is from American Fork, and he's a good guy. 

He's also been out 21 months, so it should be interesting, this being his last area. Tell Em I said 

congrats, that's pretty awesome! 

It rains quite a lot, out here. We actually got some of the rain from the Hurricane in St. Louis, so 

the rain was especially crazy this week! We were able to set three baptisms this week! We were 

heading home from a less active, and I got the feeling to stop by a potential investigator we had 

talked to months ago. The inital guy was leaving, but he suggested we talk to his son, in the 

house. Through that, we got to teach his son, his son's wife, and their friend, who was living with 

them! It made me think of a quote by Joseph Smith, " If you follow the spirit the first time, you'll 

get it right, 9 times out of 10."

Well, I'll write again next week, stay cool!

Love,

Elder Mattinson
