Letter from Elder Morrison

well, this week has been a pretty good one. we've found a few new investigators this week. we also started looking for some service to do here in boonville, so that we dont have to go to columbia so much and use all our miles. we found a recycling center that can use our help, and the employees there are mostly developmentally disabled, and that's essentially the purpose of this company here, is to give them jobs. last weekend we helped brother ward and his father in law (who is from Royal City) do some yard work. we mowed the lawn. but this is a little different. the lawn was mostly weeds, and some of them were up to 3 feet tall. we used a weedeater to get a lot of it, but it was a pretty good sized job. the missouri summer is starting to set in too, which means plenty of humidity. sunday we had a potluck after church, which was way good. cant turn down free food. the reason we didnt email on monday was that we helped brother ward's parents move. they are moving back to south jordan, utah. what we thought was a 2 hour job turned into 6 or 7 hour job, and we were way tired after it. we figured we'd go shower and just work that day and then take p-day today, since we had nothing planned. the Elmer family let us use their computer for this, so that is nice. sometimes you have to live the spirit of the law to meet circumstances. it also gives me a chance to get some of my pictures on cd's, since my cards are nearly full. you're going to have to send me some pictures of the flowrider. i'm excited to see those kids on there. next year, i'll be able to try it out for myself.
well, i cant think of any other updates.
as far as your questions go, my new companion is great. we get along really well. we've had some good times. his dad is not ray, and he doesnt think he knows a ray parkinson. and i did buy some shoes in columbia. yes, dad i did get your card. thanks a ton. and i was a little surprised at the rock, but i know that only you would send your missionary son a smooth rock. maybe i can trade it for an eval kneval motorcycle! lol.
well, i'll be sending some pictures through g-mail.
love you, and keep it up on the bom. i'm in alma, but hopefully i'll finish within a month.
