To Twin Falls Tomorrow

Elder Mattei with Vincent and Marty

Elder Mattei, Elder Roth, Vincent, Marty and Todd Barzee who baptized Vincent

Well this week Vincent's baptism happened. Chris and Dorthy's baptism will happen after I leave. Dorthy was kinda bummed that I wouldn't be there for her baptism. Anyways not a whole lot happened this week. I have been packing gradually. I still have some stuff to pack tonight. I think I will have fun in Twin Falls with Elder Crook. It should be a good transfer hopefully. I probably can't call Trevor cause they just got on us about calling out of area and stuff which sucks. The days aren't too long. They sometimes seem long when you're doing nothing but when you're having fun and teaching they seem to go by pretty fast. I see President Yardley at the least 2 times a transfer cause I see him at zone conference and interviews. President and Sister Yardley are really nice. It will be sad to see them go. President Yardley is pretty fun to talk to and overall is a pretty nice guy. You should see the Superbowl shirt Granny sent to me. I really like it. It has all the players on the Saints team that were at the Superbowl. I forgot that Chase Daniels was on the team. Chase Daniels played for Mizzou last year. I hope those clients turn out well for you. So what exactly does your company do again cause I have no idea. When people ask me what my parents do for a living I say my mom is a nurse and I say you are part of some franchise and I think maybe your company advertises but I have no idea. So have yall been watchin the Olympics? I heard the U.S beat Canada in hockey. That is awesome. I always see it on at peoples houses and I wanna watch it. I will probably have a lot more to talk about next week.

I'm leaving for Twin Falls tomorrow. Hopefully I will have a lot of fun there. I'll try my best to write Mark this week. I actually gave a talk this week in church on praying and finding out an answer. My talk had to be ten min long and I probably made about a 20 min talk. The bishop had to pull my suit jacket to tell me to wrap it up. So my talk ended up being about 13 min. I really hate packing. I'm probably gonna have to send some stuff home cause I have way too much stuff. So my companion probably won't be going home. He doesn't have a hole in his heart like they thought but he does still get bad headaches. I don't really no what to talk about. We didn't do a whole lot this week that isn't any different from what I usually do. The only thing important that happened was Vincent was baptized. I also have started to excercise reguarly which is good. I need a new camera charger cause mine isn't working correctly and not charging the battery and I ended up losing it anyways. So if yall could buy one or maybe send one from home. Today we went geo cashing which I thought was kinda lame. It was kinda boring so I basically just climbed trees. I have been packing a lot this week. I still need to finish packing today. It kinda sucks. Apparently Marti and Dorthy are making me a cake tonight since I'm leaving which is really nice. I encouraged Marti to stop smoking. Anyways Mom I g2g. I will probably have more to write about next week. And yeah Elder Crook is from Indiana. Elder Maples is leaving Twin Falls I believe. I'll let you know the direct address when I get there.

Love

Elder Mattei
