Letter from Elder Morrison

well, sounds like everyone has had a pretty hectic week. ours has been sortof a downer, but i figured things had to be going too good. salt lake denied brittany's baptism, so she cant get baptized for 2 more years. she did come to church though yesterday, which was good. 2 years will be a good test for her. her friend, shreenia told us that she doesnt want to be baptized anymore. she said she is planning on it in the future, but doesnt want to right now. so we're down to 1 date instead of 3, but the 1 is pretty dang solid. her name is tonya, and she has a small smoking problem (1/2 pack a day, which is really low for missouri) but we're going to help her with that and she said that she's felt more peace since she's been meeting with us. she said she used to have anger problems, but they've gone down a ton since she started meeting with us. miracles happen, what can i say. anyways, that's really all that has been happening this week missionary work wise. elder grayson hit his year mark (which was also his birthday) on friday, so we bought an ice cream cake. New Franklin also had a little festival that reminded me of spring fest...except do it in the park by the funeral home. lol. really small but we got to listen to a country band that was pretty good.
this week, i made a couple shirts. they're of the same thing, but different colors. i like the gray and red better, but you tell me what you think. i'll send a couple pics.
the new place is good. it's an apartment, but that's fine. i've realized that i've been in this area forever. i was here before i hit 11 months. this last week (if you recall included the 16th) was my 16 month mark. i'll be home 8 months from yesterday. crazy huh? i also just got a cd from ashlie that had all of you guys on it. i was glad to get that. it's interesting that i've forgotten what it's like to be a real person, and be able to just hang out. oh well, i'm sure i'll have no problem getting back into the real world. ashlie had made the comment that she made the video just in case i forgot what she looked like. truth is, it wasnt what she looks like, it's what she sounds like. i've forgotten how a lot of people sound. pretty weird.
well, i guess that's about all this week. hope you're all doing alright, and for grandma (who i think should be in ML right now) good luck in the MTC. Sunday = Celestial Sandwiches and BYU Creamery ice cream. soak it in...lol.
love you!
Elder Morrison
