well, it's been a week in Boonville now. i'm really liking it. there's a lot of work already happening. we have the potential of setting 3 dates this next week. we're way excited for that. we got 4 referrals last week, all from members. there's so much to do that we havent even contacted everyone that we need to. things are going really well though. we're in Columbia, MO today. we were up here for conference, since the Fayette branch doesnt have a church building, we couldnt watch it there. there are about 30 active members (so we're told) that go to church. they meet in a hall that splits into 2 rooms, so they only meet for 2 hours, Sacrament and Sunday School. hopefully by june they're going to be moving into a bigger building, but not an actual church building. i think it's more of an office building, but that's fine. Conference was really good. i especially like Elder Holland's talk, as well as all of President Monson's talks. It was pretty cool to be in a Solemn Assembly. that doesnt happen very often where you get to be part of one. we stayed the night friday, saturday, and sunday with other missionaries in Columbia to save miles on the trip to and from boonville. it's about 25 miles either way, 50 roundtrip.
I did get to visit Jeanne, being so close to her place when we were in the mission home. it was really fun and we got to visit with her, ron, and her son Chad's family. we had a really good time. i'm really liking where i am though, now, and me and elder thomas are getting along really good. i feel a little like an outcast here, just because the other missionaries talk about things i dont know much about, like music bands that i've never heard of. today we're going to play flag football at the Missouri University practice field. it's a nice campus. I dont have pics this week, but i'll send some next week, probably.
yes, i did get the cd from Grandma. things have been really hectic lately, but i do love it. i listen to it when i go to sleep. tell her thank you for me.
Well, i guess that's about all thats happening here. i hope you are all doing well. i love you all and miss you tons. i'm almost half way done though.

Thanks for the updates! It's good to know that Kenz is doing much better and happier. Can't believe he's nearly got a year under his belt. Way to go!
Good letter this week. Sounds like he is much happier. That is good and it sounds like he is really busy and that is even better. Thanks for the letter. Love mom
I have been reading these letters from Elder Morrison today, and it sounds like he is doing really well. That is so great! What a good kid.
