Letter from Elder Morrison

well, this week has been a pretty slow one. we havent had much go on. jason, who was the guy i was talking about last week has apparently gone missing or something. we cant contact him at all. i think the only reason he answered his phone ONCE was because he didnt know who it was that was calling. so we're still just trying to find. we're starting to work more with the members, and try to get some referrals out of them. i hope you guys arent like the people that when we ask them to do something as simple as give out 3 pass-along cards, it's like pulling teeth. people say they want to do missionary work, but i have yet to see it in action with most of them. we've done quite a bit of service though. we helped an elderly lady in the branch dig a trench type thing in her yard. that was some pretty good work. we also mowed her lawn and her neighbors too. she fed us lunch afterward, which was nice. after that we went and mowed another lawn of someone we found tracting. we'll see if she lets us come back to teach. everything else has kinda fallen through. we helped finish up the roof this weekend, which is good to be done. we also mowed that lawn, and used the weedeater. one thing about missouri...you dont have to work at getting things to grow! there was soooo many weeds and thick....stuff....it was like a jungle in there. its sad to hear that people i know have passed into the spirit world. but i'm sure they're doing just fine, and fulfilling callings elsewhere. we need missionaries there just as much as we do here.
we had our combined district meeting this week. that's like a zone conference but we have our interviews with president turley. he says he's not sure about what will happen at transfers, but we have a feeling we'll probably be staying together another one. things are going good though. i did get to see alex at cdm, since he's in my zone now. we also talk on the phone quite a bit, at least twice a week. it's nice to have some family to talk to out here.
we found some garage sale opportunities this week with some sweet ties. i picked up 5 ties for like 2 bucks. not bad at all. elder parkinson got some nasty ones, including an all leather tie (i didnt know that was socially acceptable, lol). it will be a good laugh at our district meetings though.
its fine if grandma uses my guitar. its not like i'm going to be using it any time soon. lol. that's the easier one to play too, as the strings are lighter and closer to the frets.
well, i guess that's about all from this week. glad to hear you're all doing well, and tell ty to save his money. he's gonna want it in a couple of years.

love you,
Elder Morrison
