Memorial Day

So for memorial day yesterday we went and had a fire and cooked hotdogs and stuff on it. Then we went exploring in the canyon and along the river. Me and Elder Martinez went in a totally different place than anyone else. We went to go see this small waterfall and we walked through bushes and thorns and stuff. I took pictures and video of all of it. It was pretty intense and I'm all cut up from it. Also slid down a hill for about 10 ft until I could find something to grab on to or stop myself. I dragged my arm to try and stop myself so I got cut up a little bit. It was pretty scary but I was ok. I also have tons of cuts from thorns and stuff and was covered in mud. Last night I wasn't able to sleep till about 3 am cause I was itching so bad and cut up. It was really frustrating and was a very long night. But yesterday was a lot of fun. Today me and Trevor slept in pretty late. We also had a bon fire the other night. It was pretty fun. Adam is going to be baptized this Saturday at 5 pm. We have also found other people to teach so we have been pretty blessed lately. I'll try and remember to send my memory card this week. Sounds like yall had a pretty busy week though. Hopefully pop-pop will start to feel better. Whats causing all these medical issues with him? Trevor does keep a journal. He writes in it once in awhile. Hopefully everything goes well with your job. The pictures from Mark's graduation looked good. Its cool that you saw Julian there. He needs to email me sometime. I have been keeping in touch with Damon some over email. He seems to be doing pretty good. We would teach the Burmese families if the translator showed up when we were there. Elder Crook is in Kuna. It doesn't sound like Elder # has changed any cause he was lazy when he was with me. Elder Ware is in Le Grande Oregon. I wanna serve there cause there is actually green to see and not desert. He wants me to come up there and serve with him. I still keep in touch with him on a regular basis. Elder * has seemed to settle down a little bit. Hopefully things are going better for him. Anyways I hope yall continue to do well and everything.

Love

Elder Mattei
