Letter from Elder Morrison

well, to start off, the guy in the baptism pic is Mike White, a member that is like a Grandpa to those girls. that is why he baptized them. yesterday we confirmed them, and we got to stand in the circle. it was a good spiritual experience. Chase Maul also came to church which puts him on schedule to be baptized the 2nd of march. we set another baptismal date this week with Danielle. She is pretty well understanding things and believes that what we're teaching is true. her date is march 23rd.
and about the pants, i found out that there's a jcpenny in Washington, where we go for district meeting. so tomorrow i'm going to take them back there so i dont have to pay a shipping charge. i might be able to get a bigger size too. we'll see what i can do.
well, i got a good story for you this week. so we go to Owensville once a week because it's the border of our area and takes too many miles to go there more than once a week. this week, when we went to owensville we went to see Marvin and Betty Ray, who were the ones that said a Methodist church told them that 2 messengers of God would visit them. they began to drop us because it had been 3 weeks since we had been able to teach them anything because of schedules. as we just kept talking about other things, their son, Clint, began asking questions about our beliefs. Elder Heath had an Articles of Faith card, and started reading them to him and explaining them. he got really excited, saying "this is really cool" and if we got side tracked he'd say "hey, keep going". after we finished them, he said he wanted to come to church. at this point, we find out from Marvin and Betty, that he has always been against church, and they could never get him to go to any church, so for him to not only be talking to us, but about church, was amazing to them. they were almost dumbfounded. they agreed to take him to our church, but then they got sick. i'm convinced that Satan controls viruses. because Danielle got sick too after her commitment to come to church. anyways, we're going to go back this week, and probably teach them some more. hopefully they can make it out to church, and that Clint keeps fanning the flame for us.
transfer calls were yesterday, and just as president said before, we're staying together another transfer. only 1 person is leaving from the district, and that's our district leader, who is becoming our zone leader. our new district leader is going to be Elder Whitmore, who was my MTC comp if you remember. so i'm excited about that. Elder Anglesey is going to be a zone leader in the Cape Girardeau zone with Elder Garn, who is Elder Roholt's friend. Elder Anderson (alex) is staying in Poplar Bluff, which will make 6 months for him. this will be my first area past 3 months. weird.
things are getting a little better with Elder Heath. i'm trying to just lighten him up, and get him to relax. he's really high-strung all the time, and if i can get him to loosen up, things will work so much better. the work is stil going well though.
today it's kindof icy outside. there was freezing rain (actually just falling ice bits, that freeze together on the ground) they let school out at like 11. i have never heard of that. it was kinda weird. it's been weird weather, just like Missouri is. it'll be 70 one day and then 20 the next. you just never know. we're supposed to get snow tomorrow though.
sounds like everyone is having fun with Hockey. i wish i could come and play, or at least be able to skate here. i'm afraid i'm going to have to relearn how to skate, and it's not gonna be good. i'll just have to go to Wenatchee (not to be confused with 2atchee) during the summer to skate when i get back.
well, i guess that about wraps it up. hope you're all doing well. love you much and miss you terribly.
Try to be like Jesus,
Elder Morrison
