Letter from Elder Morrison

hey family things have been pretty good this week. we had a festival in boonville on thursday, and elder grayson and i set up a booth there to give out invitations to the open house for our building, and also other pamphlets and cards. it was pretty cool, except we were placed next to the musical entertainment (that wasnt great) and then the singer took a break and he came over to talk to us. he was like preaching to us, but we didnt get his point. oh well, i guess there are some things you just have to experience as a missionary. all of our baptisms have fallen through. they will still be baptized, just not in this transfer, which means i'll probably not see them.
i have mixed feelings about transfers. i want to leave, but i want to stay, too.
we are in columbia today. we have been here since friday night for conference. conference was so great. if you thought there was a big gasp for the rome temple, you should have been in the columbia stake center when they announced the kansas city temple. that was, to them, like columbia river was to us. pretty big deal. i also thought it was interesting to say the 'greater kansas city area', knowing that independence is in the KC area as well.
i really like conference. there were so many good talks. i hope you got to hear most of it on saturday. so many great speakers and talks.
i saw the picture of ty and kendra. looks like they had a lot of fun.
i'm glad grandma is doing well. i got an email from her, and it sounds like it's pretty stressful, but i can understand that. it is pretty intense to go through all the missionary lessons in one week, though.
this upcoming week, we have our open house. hopefully that will generate some referrals.
well, i hope you are all doing great. read the scriptures, and say your prayers...then ACT on the things you learn and pray for! that's what Elder Bednar has taught us.
i love you all,
Elder Morrison
