August 24, 2016 - I IS ALIVE!!!!

Hey sorry this is so late!  We were supposed to send this in the morning, but we didn't have time because we were on a tour of our area.  My trainer is Elder Harris from Colorado.  He has been out for 9 months.  We are in Marruecos, it is the absolute bottom of Bogota.  We are reopening the area after it has been closed for about 8 months.  So that is/will be tough.  I'm way tired, but the Spanish was pretty good today.  Frustrating at times, but overall, at least so far, isn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I would appreciate prayers for the gift of tongues and safety and health right now.  Sorry for making you worry.  Gracias for everything!

Love Matthew!
