Working hard BEAUTIFUL Sucess

Matt is working with several couples a family and a few singles. He is keeping busy and loving the work. He says; "Boy has it been a week or what!! We have been working so hard and have had BEAUTIFUL success! Matt is so grateful for his "Companion Elder Farnsworth we are going to do some great stuff with the Lords help!"

Staying in Pratteln

Well I heard from Elder Talley!...Sorry I'm so late...We just barely got time to do e-mails. We went to Shilthorn today. It's an amazing mountain with 360 deg. view of the Alps! It is so beautiful!! The Lord sure created a beautiful place! Can you imagine how it look after it becomes Celestial? AMAZING! So now for the news...Last Thursday was transfer calls and guess what?? I'm staying here in Pratteln! I'm way excited. There are changes though; I'm getting a new companion! Mty Trainer is going to a different area and I'm staying here with one of the Elders from the other companionship in our apartment. His name is Elder Farnsworth, he is way awesome. He is from Cedar. (Utah) I'm really excited; I know we will work really well together. I have been working with a man Herr Oertle alot altely. He says we have so much love for him, and it is true! I love the mission life, it's wonderful. I love the Gospel and all it brings into our lives. Did I tell you about the 7 mice we have killed in our apartment? Sick! We killed 3 in one night within 2 hours...haha awsome eh?

Just logged on and no new email from Elder Talley...could be that it's transfer day? I'll check again later...

Working Hard!

Sorry I haven't published any of Matt's emails lately...I'll try to catch you up to speed...The lady they were hoping to teach had another man from her church at the next lesson. They explained that they didn't want to argue but to share, so they are no longer teaching her. The church they meet in has a basement where Sunday School is held in a BOMB SHELTER! Matt say's "you have to walk through a way thick wall with a vault looking door! It's kinda cool." President Bednar went to Switzerland..."It was amazing I felt the Spirit a lot and it was all so great! We have a new investagator, his name is Herr Oertle. He is so cool. He has so many questions about the Gospel and seems really interested." On March 9th Matt wrote..."Well this past week has been really good! We worked really hard, I already have holes in the bottom of one pair of shoes...We've been walking alot. Oh and another thing...My shirts were altered too small because the arm's aren't long enough and when I bend my arm the fabric becomes weak and I have 3 shits with holes in the elbows now...Crappy. I tried sewing them but they just broke again plus I suck at sewing." (Can you imagine Matt Talley wearing anthing not perfect?) We had an appointment with Herr Oertle...I have a lot of hope for him. Yesterday we taught a 7 year old girl she is cool it was a really good experiance. (she is a mebber) well not yet she is getting baptized. But I was way nervous but the Lord blessed me so much and helped me and apparently I did really well. I love the Spirit! I love serving the Lord. It's most definitely a lot of hard work. Physically and mentaly...Yesterday was a very intense day, we walked and walked and walked and walked and walked oh and we walked some more! Plus we ran 2 miles yesterday morning! So I'm getting plenty of exercise, but I've gained around 18 lbs. on my mission so far, so that's pretty sweet...A meber family commented to the other Elders in our apartment that they have never seen an Elder eat as much as me...but they loved it! So that's cool, plus the people get offended if you don't eat all the food." Well that it for now I expect a new email on Monday....
