Here is our update from Matthew this week:

He writes (through Google Hangouts):

It's been a busy week

We went on 2 exchanges this week

It's been pretty sunny lately, but it's been staying in the 30s

He finally sent me a "tag pic", which is a picture of his missionary badge somewhere cool.  I was super excited to get this from him :)  The tag is kinda dark, but if you look closely you can see it.

He and Elder Talbot also shared the following video with us about the scripture Helaman 5:12

Matthew also called home again and told us that he is enjoying his area and being with Elder Talbot so much.  It is good to hear and see him happy and know that he is working hard.  In the next couple of weeks he will reach a big milestone - 6 months - 25% finished.  He says when they hit that mark they burn a tie, so he already has one picked out for that event.  Guess we will see that when it happens.  He will also celebrate his 20th birthday at the end of the month, and his first one while on his mission.  

We are excited to hear more from him this week.
