Letter from Elder Morrison

well, beggars can't be choosers. the call has come, and we're getting whitewashed out. that means that both of us will be leaving, with a new 2 coming in. i'm pretty upset about leaving sullivan, in that i only had 1 transfer in which i could go anywhere without worrying about what my comp might have said, but i guess i dont really have a choice. i'm going to Fayette, MO, just west of Columbia. i'm going to be with Elder Thomas, and we're opening the area after it has not had missionaries for about 6 months. elder thomas is a cool guy though, and i'm excited to be working with him. it's going to take a couple weeks to get over the shock of probably wanting to be out here, instead of constantly wanting to be home. this week has been CRAZY though.
Tuesday, lots of rain. imagine a hefty rain in ML going for about 48 hours. this caused some crazy flooding. i'll email one from GMAIL to show you some pics. president turley told us on wednesday night not to go proselyting on thursday, and to wait for someone to call and need help. we just sat in the apartment, and did nothing, basically. friday we had a special zone conference with the area seventy out here. after that, we went with the washington elders to pacific, MO, where we helped make sand bags for the flooding. pacific got it bad. lots of stuff ruined there because of the river. saturday, we went to lonedell, MO to teach Ida, who we set a date of April 27th with. she also had us over for Easter dinner yesterday. her husband is a really good cook and made a delicious ham, and lamb roast. very tasty. we got the transfer call while we were there, and she was/is really upset. it's going to be hard for her to get new missionaries. she doesnt deal well with new people and large crowds, so it will be tough. also yesterday, we had lunch at Pam's house (pam is grama ethel's daughter). she cooked a really good ham too, and some veggies. it also snowed like crazy here yesterday. there were flakes the size of half your pinky falling so thick you could barely see for a couple minutes. it snowed a lot of smaller flakes throughout the day, but nothing stuck. getting another cold spell here for a little bit.
yes, i did get the package, and thank you. most of it's gone, but dont worry, there were plenty of people in the branch that kept it refilled. lol.
dad, thanks for giving me the crappiest picks for a bracket possible. really appreciate it.
as for keeping ty busy, tell him to go on teamups with the elders. have him and chandler go tracting. he'll need the practice.

well, i guess that's about it. i'll let you know how transfers go next week. love you all, hope you're doing alright.
