Family and Friends,
Hey everybody! Another week gone by. Feels like just the other day I was emailing. There are only 104 weeks on a mission and they go by so fast. This week I am sending some pictures of a museum that we went to last week. It was humbling to say the least. Those skulls are skulls of people that were tortured. For months they were whipped and beat. Barley any food to keep them alive, and when they had no more use for them they were shop in the head after the torture. this is the Khmer Rouge. Killed over 2 million people. Anyone with any smarts or knowledge. This all happened about 30 years ago. That museum was hard. Walking in there was a bad feelingthere, knowing that over 10,000 people were murdered where I was walking.
My week was great though. Our investigator I talked about last week was drunk the other night. A set back, but we never give up with a child of God. He loves the Book of Mormon along with his wife and daughter. We were supposed to have a baptism this Sunday but she started a job at a sweat shop and works late everyday and on Sunday too. Not sure what to do for her. We just had some investigators come back from their homeland for the Khmer new year. They will be baptized in the coming weeks.
I got a great package last night with lots of chocolate in it. Had to rush it to the fridge. It was all halfway melted, but still tasty chocholate. I have been having problems with my shoulder injury from football. My mission President gave me a blessing on Monday and spoke what God wanted me to hear. I will be ok very soon. Thank you all for the prayers and thoughts. Whis week I also got a letter from Elde Caleb Reilley. He's doing good. And another from Hayden Griggs. Someone tell him thanks for me and gongrats on his first kiss. He should get a laugh from that.
We are always working hard. So much progress, and the Lord is greatly blessing each of us here. This gospel changes lives just like it changed mine. Thank you all again and talk to all of you next week.
With Great Love,
Elder Matthew Nordgren

Cyndi finally made a blog!
Okay, I finally broke down and created a blog! Don't expect expert pictures, since I have to use the camera on my phone (my digital camera has disappeared!), but I'll do my best to keep it updated! :) The address is www.cyndiandboys.blogspot.com.

Landon and Luke
Just some pics from today I thought I'd share. Landon and Luke were buried right by grandma and grandpa. I thought that was really neat.
