Sept 16--Letter From Matt

This is Jose.  He got baptized this last week.

Thanks Mom for the Letter. I loved reading it. About me: Yes, we are ok here, the work is going a Little slow, we haven't been able to fine people to teach, it is a little harder right now because we are focusing on teaching with members present. I really hope that w ill be able to find the people that need to hear our message. I'm glad to hear about your experience with the lady from the Assisted living home.

I'm doing well, everything is doing well because we are slowly starting to help people.
Speaking of serving people, we were able to help a guy named Rob today. He's from Canada, and he was on his way to Guatemala, when he got in a car crash; Here, of all places, in Culiacan, Sinaloa. Some members were driving bye and they saw him, saw that he couldn't speak Spanish, and called us and told us to get down there to translate for him. We got there and started helping him, it tured out that he had gotten a little distracted by the scenery and didn't notice that the light ahead of him was red and that there were 2 stopped cars in front of him. When he looked forward again, it was too late, and although he started to break, he hit into the back of an SUV and the SUV hit the next car in front. Rob's car got worked over.

Anyway, we helped him sort it all out, the other car owners were very nice and the police kindly accepted a bribe to turn a blind eye.
it was a fun experience and Rob was very glad that we could help him.

Me and my companion have actually talked about finding ways to serve. We are going to find something to do, but this last Saturday, we were able to fix the door of a member. That's actually a lot more important than it sounds because it was the front door. She's a single parent of 4 kids, her daughter died just 2 years ago, her oldest son is a drug addict that sits in the house smoking "interesting" cigarettes. Her other 2 sons are very good people, one is married, and the other one is working full time and going to college.

Other than that, we were able to help a lady weed her front yard.... that's about it though...

We are trying to get into contact with Jesus and Cristina, they are a young marriage, and they are very good people. Erick is another person that we found, He's the boyfriend of an inactive member, but we invited him to church and he came. He's about 29 30 years old and is a good guy. I hope that we are able to teach him this week.

So that's about that. tell me about you.
