I actually have 2 new companions! I think I hold the record in the mission so far for # of Tripanionships! ha ha
My new companions are Elder Lualemaga (who I came out with in the MTC) and Elder Crabtree (who has been out for one transfer longer than us).  We get along really well together.
 We got a tiny bit of snow so we went sledding down the hills back yard thismorning:)  It was Elder Lualemagas first time in his life experiencing snow!  It has been fun to see his reactions.

Exerpts of Matt's letter November 16, 2010

Hello all,

I will be staying in this area (Vancouver) and have been called to be the District Leader.  I'm sure it will be a great learning experience especially since I don't have the typical experience of a DL.  I will pray for help to be able to help the district progress.

I just finished reading the Book of Mormon.  It was hard to read it so quickly but I was glad I accomplished my goal to read it in a transfer.

We have been teaching a lot (98 lessons in the last transfer with Elder Smith and Lefevre) and have 2 people on date to be baptized with hopefully more to come!
