Should I stay, or should I Go?

     Good morning!  Hope your weekend was nice, mine was a bit hectic. We got transfer calls, late last night, and I'm going to Paris!...Kentucky. Still pretty good, though.  Thank you again for the package, the pumpkin overload was appreciated! Saturday, I got a package from Aunt Nenie, as well, so I guess great minds think alike! Turns out we're allowed to do family history, after prostelyting hours, so I took some time to learn to index. Worked pretty well, on the Ipad. I honestly can't belive it's been a year. It feels like just yesterday, walking into the MTC. Fast or not, it's been worth every minute. You stay warm this week, I love you!

Love,

Crazy, wet hike

Good afternoon! It's only one, but we've already had a heck of a day.  We got up at 5:30 am, to go hike Clifty Falls, with the District. It was pouring rain, so we were soaked, by the end of it. I think we hiked about 3 miles, up & down the canyon. It was nuts. We did get a chance to play that game last week, that was pretty fun, too. Transfers are coming up this Saturday, and it sounds like there's a chance I'm leaving. I'll let you know if I do. I'm excited for the package, and I'll send pictures soon!

Rainy Trip to Clifty Falls

     Good evening! Sorry about taking so long, and not being able to write personal emails, we spent all day doing service in Madison. We helped build a pit, for a game called Gagaball. It's kinda like dodgeball. It was pretty fun! We spent a lot of time hitting the pavement, this week. Tracting a bunch. It went really well, we found 7 new investigators, this week!  We're also planning for a service activity, in Scottsburg, helping a member on his farm. Again, I'm really sorry about not writing everybody, I promise I will next week!

I love you all,
Elder Mattinson

Good afternoon! 

General  conference was great! I really liked Elder Renlund's talk, about how there's no coincidences, with God. Our week was pretty good, we didn't have too much luck with investigators, but we did meet some new less actives! One of them, was a pretty interesting experience. She had been manipulated into baptism, and didn't know anything about the church. Her husband passed away recently, and wanted to know where he is. We taught her the Plan of Salvation, and she was so happy! It was great! I hope we can help her return to the fold. We only had one less-active member come to conference, but he came to three sessions, so that was great! 

Anyhow, I think I'm pretty good on stuff, so anything you send is appreciated! Thank you so much!

Many much Love,

Elder Mattinson
