You know that Matthew's focused on the Lord's work when he loses track of a number sequence. :-)
A couple of fun tidbits that he "forgot to include in previous emails:"
This week's email was short, in part because it was late yesterday evening when Matthew was able to write it.
He observed, as have many missionaries before, that "street contacting don't really work. It is a lot more [efficient] to find people through the members.", attributing this in part to it being a fairly affluent area on average.
As typical, Matthew left the MTC short on sleep. He got to bed Sunday night around 11:30, but was awakened by farewells for other missionaries -- who were, unfortunately, departing at 2:30 AM.
Matthew's soliciting more interesting subject lines...
Today was Matthew's P-Day.
it has only been a couple of days since you saw me last, but I decided to email home anyway.
