Things here are moving forward. We've been working on trying to find new people and have found some really cool investigators. We will be teaching two of them and both sound very enthusiastic and very excited about the Gospel. They are both students at USA and sound like they have a lot of potential!
This week was a busy one. I went on a trade-off with Elder L which was really fun. I always enjoy working with him. We went to the space station hospital that I talked about last time and this time I remembered to take a picture (first picture). It looks even more spacey at night when it lights up. It's a nice hospital though.
This week has been a good one for me as a person. I've really learned a lot about the difference attitudes make. I just need to apply what I learn.
We had ice cream the other day from a place called Marble Slab. It's a southern Coldstone.
This week I achieved culinary perfection. I made one of the most delicious soups I've ever made. It wasn't as good as Dad's artichoke bisque but it was up there (second picture). I really enjoyed it and it was really cheap as well. The whole pot cost about 2 bucks.
Thank you so much for the Easter things! I did hide Elder O's eggs and he wasn't too happy about that so he hid mine. He's found most of them but he's still looking for about 4. Hopefully he'll find them before I do. =) To be honest, I was sort of confused when I got Michael's Easter gift. And I'm still not sure what it was. I think it might be a porcupine, a dog, a beaver, or maybe something in between. I was playing with it and accidentally ripped a hole in the bottom and Elder O decided to make good use of broken toy. It is a very stretchy toy (third picture). He wore it on his head like a swim cap. It was pretty funny. The toy is fine if slightly larger.
Another fun time was were parking trying to figure out where to go next since our backup plans had fallen through. Elder O had his door open since it was getting hot in the car and a cat walked up. Elder O and the cat were instantly friends (fourth picture). He named the cat John I think. It was a nice cat.
Things are well and I'm still alive. I'm working hard and striving to become better as a person and as a missionary.
I'm kinda tired right now because I kept waking up many times last night for some reason. But I hope all is well back on the home front.
I love and miss you all. (notice I didn't say y'all)
Sincerely,
-Elder Matthew Carlson
