I'll need to take more pictures!

     Hey again! Hope you had a good week! My talk went pretty well, I talked about the importance 

of the atonement , and true repentance. I really thought after being a missionary for  this long, 

public speaking wouldn't faze me anymore... Apparently not. Our Branch is pretty small, so it 

wasn't too bad, thankfully.  The Branch President  invited us over for Easter dinner, so that was

fun. He served in California, on his mission, so we got to exchange stories, for a while.

     Speaking of free stuff, I was looking through the apartment the other day, and I found a super 

fancy water flosser that a missionary left! They're usually about $70 dollars, so I was more than 

happy (it makes a pretty good squirt gun too. (:) 

     We've been making a lot of appointments with new investigators, so we're pretty busy! Elder 

McIntosh and I are going to try visiting  the members around town this week, so we can enlist their 

help. It can be pretty difficult to help them understand  that without members supporting the 

missionary work, small branches like this are inevitability going to die off.

     Well, that's about it for this week, I'll try to get some more pictures for you all, have a great 

week!

Love,

Elder Mattinson

I think we'll need to give them a visit.

Thanks for the Easter box!
