Matthew's driving a pickup truck in this area, which sounds like a good idea:
In one little town thingy in our area, most of the roads are half sand, half dirt, and half ruts.
-- And that is when it is dry. I heard that the roads can get pretty sketchy when it rains.
Saturday evening Matthew got word that he was being transferred today to cover for a missionary that had to go home early. The missionary in question was training a new elder, so Matthew will take over that responsibility, having only 2 months in the field himself.
