Matthew, I'll provide you with some feedback. That second "to" wasn't actually in the code. I agree that it needed to be there to make the sentence sensible, but remember that all you needed to do was decode, as is, and offer suggestions to fix things if necessary. But otherwise, your decoding process was correct.
Samantha, it did seem like a word was missing, likely the word "to" that Matthew put into the sentence. Also, there shouldn't have been any uracils (U) in the DNA. Those are only found in RNA molecules. Otherwise, the coding process was correct. Just missing the response to your decoder.
Here is my decode for reference.

Hi Samantha, Great job decoding my sentence. You were correct.
