Matt: January 25, 2012

Dear Family,


I´m writing you on wednesday instead of Monday because my saint of a companion Elder Bons hasn´t been to the temple for 10 months, and we got permish to go this morning. So that was good. Also on Friday here in Curitiba we are going to have a meeting with Elder M. Russell Ballard and Neil L. Anderson!!! I am super stoked. I think they´re gonna lay down the law and just take us to the promised land. Either way I´m excited.

This week was good. We had an old lady and her grand-daughter visit church this week. We went to visit our star investigators afterwards to see if they had already returned from the beach, only to find out they played hookie and didn´t even go to the beach and sluffed church!!!! Que raiva! But the following day (monday) we went there and after getting to the bottom of the iceberg, Vanessa decided she´s had too many proofs that the church is true and marked her own baptism for Sunday afternoon. WOOO HOOOO!!!!! And this way they´ll already be in church to be confirmed at 6 o´clock sacrament meeting. I´m so stoked. This past little while has been tough like buffalo jerky, but seeing a family change their lives and accept the true gospel of Jesus Christ just makes up for all the rant ronts that want to tell you how you´re wrong or wasting your time, or things like that. So needless to say, things are going groovy. We´re turning things around in these parts of town and trying to help our zone be better. The mish is not easy, but boy is it awesome.

Dad- Loved the email. Thank you. Not sure who Jerry Sandusky is, but that´s sad to hear about Joe Pa. Yeah if everybody stopped being a "statistical member" and just stayed active and magnified their calling this world would be rockin and rollin with the spirit. That´s good that that sister got her act together and is serving a mish in a TRIPANIONSHIP WOOO!!!

Jor- That´s good you got a bear gun and a power blender. Now you can make bear meat smoothies... yum!

Michael- Cara I´m so sorry. You don´t know how corrida the mission is when you can do activities on P day and don´t just write letters all day. I promise to write you before the end of the transf.

Nick- Kunzee and Ryan Lee home already!??!?! Yikes. Send them a hug for me. Dude skiing 6 times sounds like a dream my man. Keep rippin man.

Well I´m gonna go make flan now. Wish me luck!

-Elder Matt
