Letter from Elder Morrison

well, we've had a pretty good week. probably one of the best since i've been in fayette. this week we had an appointment with Brittany, and she now has a baptismal date of september 27. we hope that goes through, because there are some legal issues and stuff that have to be approved by president turley, and possibly the first presidency. i dont know exactly how that all works. but yeah, we have a date!!! also this week, we'll be meeting with the jacksons, and discussing a baptismal date for their 9-year old, so we'll set a date there this week. also, Tanya i think is progressing well, and we're going to try to set a date this week. i hope you've been praying for her. she really needs some financial help for her daughter. so yeah, we could have 3 dates this week! we had presidents interviews this week, and i told president turley that i'd like to stay here, especially since the jackson girl wants me to baptize her. but that i was kinda getting tired of elder grayson. he's not a bad guy, but he's kinda antisocial, and i find i'm doing almost everything myself. it's getting pretty tiring. president was talking about leaving me and transferring elder grayson, but he needs to pray about it first. next week, i'll be able to tell you what happens with that. transfer calls are this sunday, and then transfers will be next friday, which is a different day, but things happened that we had to move it a bit.
we found a new place, and got an application sent to the office to fill out. i need to call on how that's going, but i dont know for sure if that's going to work or not.
thanks for the package. i was pretty stoked to get all that stuff. you're right though, it doesnt matter what it is, as long as it's from home. lol.
that's really weird about the church. in fact it reminds me of an experience we had the other week. we went to drop off some missionaries in columbia late one night, and when we got to the apartment, the lights were off and the place was trashed. the thing is, is that there is another set of missionaries in that apartment that should have been home by then. we went to try to turn on the lights and none of them would work except the bathroom light. one of the missionaries went into the room across from the bathroom and we heard him scream. followed by laughter. the other missionaries had trashed their own apartment, unscrewed all the lightbulbs, and then waited for us to come in there, and pointed a knife at the first missionary to go into the room. it scared the crap out of him, but it was way funny. that was the night that we made that cake for the zone leader. i'm sending a couple pictures of that. elder swenson made the cake from a cake mix, and then did all the decorating from scratch.
well, i guess that's about all for this week.
hope you all have a good week. remember i love you!
