Letter from Elder Morrison

no kidding that the weeks just keep flying by. it's been a good week though. we had our Christmas zone conference on tuesday, and got to go to the temple and that's when i got the package you sent to the mission office. thanks for all those things (i couldnt wait till the 25th). i got the 12 days package, but there were only 6 numbers. was there supposed to be another one? plus your letter in there said start on the 12th and go till the 12th. i got a little confused by that. so we just opened them all. thanks for all those. i have a hard time believing that you found all those scriptures yourselves, so where did you get that idea?
i'll be calling you for Christmas, and unless things change, it will probably be in the morning sometime. i'll probably give you some time to wake up before i call too, since it IS a 2 hour difference.
we did get a little bit of ice, but not nearly as bad as columbia, MO. i guess they got an inch or something of ice. we just had a little bit, and it wasnt even on the roads. it looked pretty cool though. it snowed last week a little bit, but then turned to rain, and it obviously didnt stick.
i have talked a little bit to Nelson, but just for a minute. and Alex is in Poplar Bluff (which is called outer darkness) and will be for probably at least until mid-February.
We went to Centralia, IL for a baptism last saturday. we drove to st. louis (about an hour), hopped on the MetroLink train (another hor and 15 or so) and then had someone pick us up at the last station and drove another hour to Centralia. we spent about an hour there, and then backtracked. we did have some extra time, and we really had to use the bathroom, and since Jeanne's was on the way, we decided to stop for a few minutes. she was so surprised and excited i thought she might pee her pants. lol. then since she loves me so much, she came all the way out to Sullivan to bring us to St. Louis for zone conference. then we spent a few hours with her and she took us to dinner at red robin before we drove back out to sullivan.
well, i guess i'm about out of things to say. i hope this season is finding you well. know that i love you, and that the Lord loves you. stay close to Him.
