Letter from Elder Morrison

the bike made it, in good shape, and i really enjoyed the pictures and candy and stuff. i have heard of sunblock and i would have used it if i had thought about it and had some at the time. it's all better now though, and i'm sure i have a sweet tan now. actually, my missionary tan is coming along pretty nicely, although, it will take until the end of the summer to have it done. the dark forearms and 'half-n-half neck". gotta love those fat collars. last week i picked up a couple new ties, which i was pretty happy about. good old polyester ties, probably from the 70's. that's the way to go. as far as other service...this week we did painting. that's about all for brother ward, and then we mowed a couple lawns and fixed a guy's computer (hardware problems). last week we moved some boxes of books, and the lady got us a care package with some food in it. we were really grateful for that.
the new building for the branch here is scheduled for August 7th. of course a week ago it was scheduled for july 24th. before that it was scheduled sometime in june. they're hoping to get in by labor day. lol. the building is actually already built. it used to be the county hospital, but now it is rented out for buisinesses, or in our case, churches.
this week we had some intense weather. we had lots of rain and thunderstorms. in fact one day we had flash floods. i have a video of it from a car, which isnt the greatest, but it gives you an idea. the video was taken about 5 minutes after it started raining hard. i'll send it through gmail.
this week we also had a festival out here, in boonville. it is called heritage days, and it reminds me of spring fest in ML, but like half the size. it was still good though,and we saw their parade. after the parade, we started contacting like crazy. it was pretty fun.
as far as the work goes, it's still pretty slow, but we're making progress.
we're finding people through the members. we've received a few referrals.
we've gotten a couple things going on through the members, and we're just advising. hopefully something comes from that.

well, i guess that's about it. love you!

Elder Morrison
