Letter from Elder Morrison

so today marks 3 months. i cant believe its been that long already.
so the weather is ridiculous. over 100 every day for the last week, of course with humidity. we havent tracted much the last week. we did find one couple though that are interested in what we have to say. it was kinda funny. we went over there, because its kindof a hit or miss with them if they're home. and they're only home at night. so we went over at 8:30ish, and the guy had already gone to bed. so we're teaching Kelly (the girl) about Christ's church back in the day, and how it was restored. we do an object lesson that involves stacking plastic cups. we were stacking the cups, and Will (the guy) wakes up (whether from us or something else, we dont know). he comes out to the living room of the apartment, and says, "what are you guys playing?" and we said, "nothing, its just part of the things we share." he's like, "aight, do your thing." and then proceded to get in the shower. dunno what that was all about, but that's alright. hopefully they really get interested. we left them with a Book of Mormon.
we made another Ted Drewe's Frozen Custard run this week. being the moving elders, we move stuff all over. this week we had to move a washer and dryer from Carondolet to storage in Creve Ceour. Ted Drewe's happens to be in Carondolet. so we had a nice frozen custard shake, which is so thick they call it a 'concrete'. they even flip it upside down to show you how thick it is. this place looks kinda like Dick's burger bar, but a little smaller and just frozen custard. no whammies =(
you need to send me a pic of this parakeet. i dont believe it till i see it on that one.
kids, be grateful you're still on summer break. these poor kids here have been in school since the 13th. how would you like that? it's weird driving by the pool now and not seeing anyone there even in 100+ degrees, because they're in school!
yes, transfers will be coming up here in 2 weeks from yesterday. Elder Andersen is pretty much guaranteed a transfer. 4 1/2 months in Chesterfield will about kill anyone. i'm hoping for a double transfer, but if i have to stick it out another 6 weeks, i guess that'd be ok. i did finally get a bike. and i got a sweet deal on it. it was like 325 or something for a bike, helmet and lock. helmet was regular like 70 bucks and the bike was regular like 350. helps to know people who know people.
well, that's all that i can think of just now. hope everything is going well. remember to pray always.
Love you all,
Elder Morrison

Fun to read Elder Mackenzie's letter. Sounds like he is doing great. Does he ride the bike now instead of the car?? He sounds like he is loven it. Except the heat. Love mom

Only 3 months? Seems like he's been gone longer than that......
