Hey how are all of yall doing? This week has been pretty good. Its just been slow cause I feel like I'm always going to meetings and I'm not able to get any work done in my area because of it. Our area is really slow right now. Elder Bevell and I are really trying to get more investigators. I'm going to plan on doing a Missionary Fireside. So we will see how good my organization skills and everything are lol. I'm enjoying being a District Leader. Its not as bad as what I thought.
I read about the tornadoes and flooding in the paper. That's crazy. I kinda miss that kind of weather. Yesterday Elder Tukuafu and I got rained and hailed on. It actually was a pretty good storm. O yeah so I have some big news but unfortunately its bad. Elder Crook is going home tomorrow. I'm pretty sad to hear that he is leaving. He is going home to have surgery on his knee. I really like Elder Crook and Elder Ware and I are going to miss him a lot. I will probably go visit him sometime when I get home because he lives in Indiana. But I feel bad that he has to go home early. I went and told him bye earlier this morning. It will just feel different without him here.
So on Easter we went and ate with the Wilsons and watched the Ten Commandments with them. It was actually a pretty good movie and I enjoyed watching it. I remember trying to watch it when I was little but I fell asleep. I also made gumbo on Saturday and ate it. It came out pretty good. I do think its pretty scary that everyone is getting married. That's crazy. Dad it seems like u will be going a lot of places this summer. That will be cool to go to all those places though. I doubt I will get to serve with Elder Ware. I wish I could serve with him though. Panama City is going to be fun. So will going to a LSU v Alabama game. I'm so excited for that. It looks like a lot of people wrote on my facebook. Tell Bro Scollingsberg I have like 3 months left. I miss that guy. He was pretty awesome. Anyways I need to get going. I hope yall have a good week and take care.
Love
Elder Mattei
Email to Todd:
I'm doing good. Well Mark's and my mission will be very different. Mark will probably be doing a lot of street contacting people. I don't really do that much. I receive more referrals to go contact people and teach them lessons. We also walk around and go and see less active members and stuff like that. Yeah that was me laughing in the background. I figured it was you she was talking to cause it sounded like you. ( A sister that feeds Elder Mattei regularly called our home to find out some information for him about school. She spoke with Todd who could hear Greg laughing in the background. Todd was like "Oh my gosh, is Greg there?" He couldn't believe it!) My mission has been very good and I've really enjoyed it. How is school and everything going for u? Anyways I need to write Mom and my mission president so I will talk to u later.
