Mormon Frisbee

Ok so I don't have much time to write. I addressed a lot of things in my letters home. But I leave on tuesday and I think my flight is at 8am on tuesday morning. I will call yall then. Its hard to address everything in such little time. I kind of wrote to one of my friends and that is why my time is at 12 min right now. So I'm kinda starting to not get along with my companion the best. We are ok but we argue sometimes especially politically since he is a moderate. I'm kind of the funny guy in the group. I told you in the letter home that Elder Scott talked to us and gave us a blessing that we would be safe. It was really cool to have. I like my teachers a lot. I have been taking pictures for me to send home as well. Hope all of you are doing ok. I' m hoping Granny will be able to feel better soon. I can't wait to get to Boise and be able to be out on my own. My friend Elder Ware from Alabama is also a huge Alabama fan so we like to argue about who is better between them and LSU lol. We also agree politically and both love to talk politics. I also focus on the gospel a lot so don't worry lol. I went to the temple this morning and I went last week as well. I also forgot to tell yall I went to a temple dedication that they had at the gym here so I got to hear President Monson talk. I enjoy my roommates. We all have a lot of fun and we play frisbee with a Dips lid in our room lol. Only Mormon missionaries would figure out how to use a ice cream lid as a frisbee. The guy who also bothered me singing is actually not bothering me anymore and I like him. His name is Elder Goldthorp. He is very knowledgable in the gospel and he is like the go to guy for like anything you have a question on or need to know where somethin is at. I had teaching appointments where I taught pretend investigaters and they watch you on a camera in a room. Me and my companion did well with the help of the Holy Ghost of course. We were asked things about the trinity and stuff that wasn't even in our lesson plan so it was hard but we both were able to find scriptures to help us. Teaching is actually a lot harder than what I thought. There is a lot to it. I forgot to tell yall I saw Shae here. He left though. Anyways teaching is kind of challenging but we are getting better at it. I hope I can get a lot better and grow as I teach more and more. I need to go because I am about to run out of time. I'm glad Todd liked ISS lol. The good thing is that you could get work done in it. Tell Todd Good luck with hockey for me. Tell everyone I said Hi. I miss all of you. I really wish I could watch some cardinals games with them being so good right now. I predict it will be them and the Yankees in the World Series this year.

Love,

Elder Mattei
