Letter from Elder Morrison

ok, so i just typed a whole email, and then something happened where i lost it. so i guess i'll just have to give you the rundown again. this week has been a little better. we seem to be teaching more, but not really having many more investigators. we are starting to teach members though, and then ask them to prayerfully develop a list of 5 names of people that we can either teach or do service for. we did service for brother ward this week scraping plaster off the walls of the house we put the roof on. it was definitely a chore. and to make it harder, we had the neighbor kid really wanting to help, and he was only like 10, so he couldnt do much but get in the way. oh, well, we got it done, after like 7 hours, and then the wards fed us dinner. that was nice. i think i told you how our miles got cut and so we have to use our bikes a lot. and then i got a flat tire, and then not even a week later, i got another one. we spent one day on foot, and my feet and knees were just shot by the end of the day. oh well, that's what happens.
i am not getting transferred, so me and elder parkinson are staying together another one. so you can send my bike to the wards. as for the card, i havent spent it all, but i was planning on getting some pants next week in columbia. i could probably get brother ward to check my email for me in the middle of the week. i'll probably have him do that on thursday, for whatever you wanted.
where is your missionary from in missouri? i wonder if i know the area he's from?
by the way, we are getting some nasty weather. the last couple weeks we've had thunderstorms, and the missouri river is actually flooding. another 3 feet and the RR tracks will be covered here in boonville. luckily we live on high ground, so i'm not worried at all.

well, i'm about out of time now, so i hope you're all doing well. love you, and i'll type at you next week!
