Matt's email 8/22/2011

Oh don´t you worry, we will have plenty to keep us busy here. This
past week was just full of different events, but it all ended out
great and we got to work in our area for more than half of the week so
it was awesome. The area that we are assigned to is just a gold mine.
We have found some great people this week and many of them made the
leap of faith by coming to church. There are great members here that
are so excited for the missionarywork. I honestly get more excited for
being in such a great area than I do for being here with President. I
have come to know of the love that he has for this mission and the
excitement that he carries for us. He really is such a great man and
his heart is huge. While we were at the airport waiting for the new
missionaries, he decided to buy us whatever we wanted at the
restaurant in the airport. Everything was super expensive, but the
price just didn´t matter to him. He reminds me a lot of you mom and
dad and that love that you always had for me as your little boy. You
are such awesome examples for me.
I am having such a fun time here on the mission. Everyday I just go
out and have a blast and I absolutely love it. Today for P day we went
to the zoo just me and two other companions. It was just the 3 of us
dressed in suits, but it was still hilarious. I have learned how to
make every moment into the best moment. There have been times where I
have wanted to just kill something, but I have always tried to be
positive and happy and it has always worked out for the best.
I heard a quote that hit me really hard this week. The is not a higher
place on this planet than being on your knees praying to God. I am so
thankful for the power of prayer and the consolation that it brings
into my life and the life of our investigators. I have seen grown men
brought to tears by the miraculous power of prayer and have realized
that God really is the Master of all and that we are his finest
creations. I just want you to know that I love you all and I am
continually taken away by your amazing faith and support on my behalf.
I know I leave some of you hangin on the email replies, but please
forgive me and know that I am doing great and I am happier than I have
ever been!
