This week has been good. Calley is progressing by going to church but we are trying to figure out what his hold up is with baptism. We had a zone conference like 2 weeks ago but we have them every other transfer now so it will be awhile when we have zone conference again. My zone is extremly small. It is the size of my district which is about 8 people.
O yeah I know who John Bytheway is because I have a ton of his talks. They're pretty good talks, I just hate how he tells jokes about his last name and stuff. It gets kinda old after awhile. It stinks to hear that Lindsay's friend won't be baptized. She can be baptized when she is 18 though. For people like that I would say they need to look into it themselves and not be asking a 3rd source about what Mormons believe. That would be like me going to a Chevy dealership and asking about a Ford Mustang. Of course they're gonna say negative things about the Mustang. Thats kind of how I look at it. Lindsay has a close friend who has shown a serious interest in our church. Unfortunately her parents have been persuaded by anti-Mormon literature and some anti-Mormon contacts.
Tell the Russos I said hi and tell Mr. Darryl he still owes me a Blizzard lol. Apparently the BSU and VT game was a good one. I saw like the first quarter and then had to go. Yesterday wasn't a day off although it felt kind of like one. We hauled wood and stuff for most of the day and then burned it in a huge fire. I also learned how to do a backflip on Friday. It's a really cool less active family who own this gymnastics gym. She would spot me and stuff until I got the hang out if myself. I think I will eventually learn how to do a back flip off the wall. It was pretty fun to learn how to do though. I'm hoping the Saints will win this Monday (Thursday). It should be a pretty good game. I heard LSU should have lost. I kinda hope Les Miles gets fired cause LSU hasn't been living up to its potential.
Time on my mission seems to be going by pretty fast and things seem to be doing well. I feel like more needs to be done with our area. Things just seem to be slow and hard to get going in the wards. We are teaching a lot of lessons but I don't feel they are really that productive. I'm still also trying to learn where everything is and such and remember peoples names. I got to go to Twin this weekend for a baptism of a boy I started teaching. Their name is the Cernicks and I got a hold of that family finally before I left Twin Falls. We went to the baptism and saw some families that I know there and then we went to a after party thing. I found out that the girl I baptized thinks I'm cute lol. She's not to bad lookin lol. I think she is pretty cute. She is the one that I baptized before I left and she has a little boy.
You need to limit Todd to computer use and stuff btw. Apparently he is like always on Call of Duty. People who added me on there always say that. And tell him to change my name back to LSUTigers08. Apparently he changed it and now people on my mission can't add me anymore and I don't want one of his gay names when I get back home.
U need to start getting more sleep mom. It won't be good if you call in sick too many days. Dad, its good to hear that your back is feeling better. I did use up all of that Visa card. I figured I had enough for Sushi but I didn't. It was all you can eat sushi. I only get shellfish cause its cooked. I have tried real sushi such as raw fish and I didn't care for it too much cause I don't like the texture of it in my mouth. O yeah I wrote Granny and them a letter finally. I will send it out tomorrow so they should get it by the weekend hopefully.
A lot of people this week haven't been home and have been hard to get a hold of cause no one was home for the last week of summer. Man what Tyler is going through is crazy. I don't think I could ever do that. I have a lot of respect for him. That's impressive that he is able to go through all that.Tyler is a friend who is serving a mission in Mexico. I think Greg is quite humbled by some of the primitive conditions and such that Tyler describes in his emails. So how is Julian and the Barnes family doing? Anything new in the ward? How long has Bishop Tuttle been a Bishop? I doubt he will be my bishop when I get back. It seems like he has been doing it for about 5 or 6 years. ;) Anyways I need to get going. We are gonna probaly go play racketball or something. Yall take car and have a good week.
Love
Elder Mattei
