Hey Family!
So I did see some of the game. I had asked him if he got to see any of the Saints vs. Vikings game. I was very emotional watching the Saints win and wishing Greg could be here to see his dream become reality! I saw some of the 2nd quarter, some of the 3rd quarter, most of the 4th quarter and all of overtime. We knew if he could find a member or investigator who was going to watch the game he would be there. It was a really good game. I enjoyed being able to watch it. One of the less active guys we taught called me up and was like well congratulations Elder Mattei your team won. He was pulling for the Vikings.
So how has everything been going with yall? So we have another person that is willing to be baptized. He was refrerred by a Bishop in another stake and we taught him and we will probaly set a baptismal date the next time we meet him. All these baptisms are in the 15th ward. We really needed this work to do cause this area was really running low on people to teach. The 5th and 9th ward have been running low.
That was funny what Julian said lol. Julian had responded to something Mark had written saying Drew Brees was quoted after the game saying, "We did this for New Orleans and Greg Mattei, but mostly for Greg Mattei". So are Granny and all them excited about the Saints? I'm having a hard time seeing Mark pulling for the Saints. When I was watchin the game at a members house I was pacing and stuff cause I was all nervous about them losing and I was getting antsy. We're wondering if he was just pacing or hollering and clapping too??? Hopefully he maintained some missionary composure! LOLIt was a great game to watch though. So this is my new email fyi. The church had some kind of agreement with google so its a lot like gmail. My companion is kind of a football fan but he does like the Colts. Elder Roth is from Indianapolis. He is not like a huge fan or anything.
I still stink with scripture masteries but I have learned James 1:5. Elder Mattei was never one who could memorize scriptures very well. I think it helps to know some of what we learn in seminary but I have been doing just fine without knowing all the scriptures and stuff. You naturally get to know where things are at and stuff in the scriptures. I've been doing a lot of studying on faith and prayer and recognizing the gift of the Holy Ghost. I meet so many jobless people living on food stamps and Welfare. How are you going to do that tax job and your own job at the same time? I will keep Grandma and you in my prayers and mom as well. I put Grandmas name on the prayer rolls in the temple last Tuesday.
But I'm focusing on the work. Having a girl though is a motivation though to work hard. So hopefully it will all work out in the end :) A response to a question about a certain young lady. :) But yeah I g2g. Hope that yall have a good day.
Love
