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....
