July 17--Email From Matt!

Matt

I hope you all had a great time in Disneyland! I was really excited to hear that you were going. Well, I'm  going to send some pictures, hopefully it works. My Companion's name is Elder Livingston, he lived in Phoenix Arizona. Hmm, what other questions are there? Mom, to answer your question, specific prayer is when you pray to the Lord, you state your problem, or situation, and then, thorough inspiration, you set certain steps with the Lord of what you will do, and then you ask for a specific response. There's

an example in the bible, when Abraham sends his servant to find a wife for his son.

 Matt and Elder Livingston (I think)

Things here are very good, the days are passing like... this is a weird analogy but, like a falling rock. The more time there is, the faster it goes. Hmm, This Sunday we had an investigator come to church. His name is Luiz and he's about 55 years old give or take some years. He really wants to get baptized but his family wont let him. It's actually really weird, he's a grown adult and can make his own decisions. We also found an older man, he is paralyzed on his left side. Like grandma, he suffered a stroke. His wife is actually a member but is inactive. They are taking care of their grandson who has down sindrome (is that how you spell it?) He's a really cute little boy. I have to go, I'll try to get back on and write more.
