A Faithful Pioneer

Dear Family and Friends!  

Sorry this email is going to be so short.  We don’t have a lot of time to write because we are trying to bake cookies for a zone activity and make enough hot chocolate, but this week was amazing.

I will call you on skype next Monday at 7:00 p.m. Bolivia time in a member’s house if that is alright.

That is so amazing you are working in the Temple.  It looks beautiful!! Also the Enoch Orchestra is huge and has accordions!!

This week, we had 2 baptisms.  Fernanda and Dulce got baptized.  Their mom is a saint. She is like a faithful pioneer because she had her daughters be baptized and she is helping them read the Book of Mormon and attend church. It was such a beautiful baptism.  My companion baptized them both, and I got to confirm Dulce yesterday in church.  Please pray for them especially that their parents can be married and baptized.

Also, Kevin, a new investigator attended church and loved it . We are working with him to be baptized the 30th!

I know that the Book of Mormon is true and that prayer works.  We sure prayed a lot this week, and everything worked out well.  Also, we made it through the trial of 40 degree Celsius weather, which I think means like 110 degrees weather in Fahrenheit!

I love you so much and can't wait to talk to you this Monday.

Love,

Elder Matheson 

Consejo de lideres with Presidente.  Elder Salas, my first companion and trainer, is a zone leader too!

I bought these Brooks shoes for about $15 at a fair. What a blessing!
