sounds like everything is going well over on that side of the country. its way humid here. not liking that so much. been getting a few letters here and there. i finally got the one with the pictures that you sent to the MTC. it must have gotten there after i left. good to see dad and ty are doing their goalie practice. money is fine. we actually get a debit/credit card with 130 dollars a month to spend on groceries and stuff. plus we have great members that send us home with leftovers and stuff. i loved the pillowcase, in case you didnt get that email or whatever. thanks for all that stuff. thanks for the card reader too. i have some pictures here for ya, maybe get dad to tell some mission stories, or reminisce with himself for a while. lol. i forgot how comfy that blanket is, but i wish it was a little wider like the other one. on monday we had a big storm. way worse than anything i've ever seen in washington. the thunder was super loud, and happened like every 5 seconds. lightning was also crazy. there was so much rain it took about 10 seconds to get completely soaked. good thing we saw it coming and left most of the stuff (wallet, my set of scriptures, everything but a Book of Mormon and a survey we use to get into peoples houses) in the car. Things are going well here. Jeanne Trulove is getting baptized on saturday, the 23rd. we're way excited for her. she's really nervous, and even said she wasnt going to get baptized on saturday. but the next day she said on our answering machine (she's a little heavier set) "when i get baptized on saturday, only fill the font half full. cuz when i get in it's gonna overflow!" we got a kick out of that and our apartment got kinda loud from the celebration. i'm telling you, there's nothing like seeing someone accept the Gospel of Jesus Christ in their lives. She's such a great lady, and i'll have to send a pic of her next week. she has a sweet train set downstairs, and i'll get pics of that for you too. i do have a couple pics for you though. hope you enjoy those. we got to go to the temple last week (dont remember if i told you) but it was great. its a really nice temple. i heard that spencer talked with kenny andersen for a while. i hope there wasnt anything said against me......lol. Mom, dont worry about me. i know you're a mom, and its your job, but i'm on the errand of the Lord, and He watches over His missionaries. i've only heard gunshots one night so far. lol, just kidding, there arent any gunshots in this area. we live in a nice place. its a place where if you're poor, you only have a $200,000 home instead of 800,000. Dad, keep up the work on your exercise. i'm doing it too, and it's hard to get up at 6:30 when i dont want to and go exercise. i think you're doing it just to prove me wrong, but that's ok. keep going on that pilots license too. i want a ride when i come home. Ty, stay away from those girls (HELLO JENN) and make your time worth it. study the scriptures. if you havent completely read the Book of Mormon, i challenge you to read it by the time school starts. if you've already read it, do it again. it will help so much in your mission. learn your scripture mastery. they're amazing. read in preach my gospel every sunday or something and get those lessons down and then teach your friends with the help of the missionaries there. Creesh, thanks for all your letters. you give me and Elder Andersen such a laugh. I'm proud of you getting your grades up. keep up the good work! work hard in swimming. physical exercise is very good for you. especially in the morning. count your blessings that you can swim, cuz you dont know what you got till its gone! Kevakin, sounds like you're doing pretty good. are you preparing to be baptized? i hope you are listening to mom and dad, and not starting fights with creesh. be a good kid, and know that i'm proud of you for getting ready to be baptized. for the whole family, i hope you know how much i love you all. i am having a great time out here teaching people the gospel. it really does change lives for the better. try to find people that the missionaries can teach. they love referrals. get donna interested. invite her to church, and to have family home evening with you. have the missionaries talk with the joneses, and tell give them the message that families can be together forever. thanks for all your love and support. you dont know how much letters of encouragement do for a missionary. know that you're in my prayers always, and that we will all be blessed for me being out here, because i'm not the only one sacrificing. well, this is getting to be a novel, and i need to get going. we have a lot to do today. we have to get the oil changed in the car. we have a chevy mailbu '07. ty, you'd love the cars around here. BMW's and Porches and convertibles up the WAZZU! it's pretty crazy. Love you All, Elder Morrison

Sounds like he is one awesome missionary! We sure are proud of him and pray for him daily!
Craig are we sure this is your kid we are hearing from? How did you get so stinkin' lucky? I am sure we mostly have Deb to thank. Way to go Deb. What a good missionary. He does us proud.
Boy, that son is really in the missionary mode. He is doing great. It was fun to read his letter. Thanks for sharing. Love mom
I think he's making up for those short notes in the MTC. It's amazing to see what a mission does for a young man in such a short time. I'm proud of him, and you for raising him to be a good missionary.
Sounds like our missionary is really getting into it. You can tell why it Is the best two years of your life. When you are constantly being led by the spirit. Good to read his letter, thanks for sharing.
