Jeremy insisted that he wanted the "old farmer jammies in red." The only size that fit him were in white. Yes, there is even a "back flap." What a character!!

There are many languages taught at the MTC. Elder Matson is pointing to the Czech Language....of course!

"I think one of the best things that is happening is that I am flying out and I don't have to sit in that chair all day long...every day."
"It's messed up, the language is, I'm not goin to lie."
Starsis Peterson, Mickelson, Matson, Carrier and Emmerson
Jeremy did not want to buy an umbrella, I bet he was happy he had one!
Starsi Matson having a few Mary Poppin's moments!
Elder Matson protecting the place where we make sacred covenants!
Elder Matson and a BMW...a nice car! You don't see too many trucks around the MTC, so I guess he settled for a BMW.
Starsi Matson and a cousin he found in the MTC (Elder Murdoch)...our dads are first cousins.
"My first hair cut....they don't cut it near as short as they need to here. It kinda ticks me off, but it is all right."
"Don't freak out when you see this picture (mom). Those pants don't stretch. That is how much weight I've lost. See it is a good thing we got a smaller belt or else I would be in trouble, but I feel like I am Jared in the Subway commercial. Those are my black pants. I thought it was a cool picture."

"Don't show this picture to too many girls there, I won't have time to write them all after they see it, so just be careful, it is kinda a cool picture."

On the day we did Jeremy's uncle's temple work, Grandma Denkers bought "U" cookies for everyone to say "Thank U." Brian was a huge Utah fan and so Jeremy could not resist putting in the BYU plug too.
"I thought I wouldn't do the picture justice without a BYU somethin in it....so, there it is. I was goin to put it after"Y," but I thought it would be sacreligious to do the BY"U," just didn't work out.
Elder Matson and Elder Dustin Swallow
The mission is divided into two countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
This is our district....

This is our "second grade face picture......like we just put glue on someone's chair. We busted up laughing cause I told them that analogy....act like we just put glue on some girl's chair in second grade and when she sat down we would laugh like second graders. We just busted up laughing...it was pretty funny."

This is a picture of the map of the Czech Republic. All of the things on the map are castles. They are everywhere.
After Starsi Matson landed in Prague, he was assigned to Jihlava (eeh lava). So, that is where he is right now.
