Mighty and Marvelous Missionary Matthew: Updates from Mom

Elder Arscott has been very busy in Brazil. He has been so busy that another week goes by without a group letter. SO I will do you a brief summary of 'catch up'.
   He enjoyed General Conference and was able to watch and listen in English. He and companions watched upstairs in the office while others were able to watch it down stairs in Portuguese . He said they were all very reverent UNTIL the very last minute of the very last talk when President Nelson announced a new temple in WASHINGTON COUNTY UTAH. He was the ONLY one that cheered and everyone laughed, including those downstairs.
   He is training a new Executive Secretary, Elder Pinkney. He loves this Elder. They lived together in a four group before. He speaks highly of him and is so excited to be companions with him for this training.
   He told me that he couldn't write much again today as they 'had to leave for an appointment of someone they are teaching'. Today was the only day they could meet.. I am thankful that he would give up some of his p-day to teach.
   I can tell how much Matthew has matured. So much of me misses the "Matthew' that was my buddy through his high school years, BUT my heart is FULL as I watch him grow and mature into an excellent young man. I know the future will hold many more happy memories for us. I will always tuck those memories and moments made in the past in a safe part of my heart. I can say that he has been MY rock when I have needed it most.
Ok, Ok, enough....before I get too mellow. LOL
I am going to attach all the pictures he has sent to me so far this month. There are only a few descriptions. I just might make up my own. Hehehehee

How many Elders does it take to take apart a bed? TWO, the rest must be supervising. Hehehehe
