Letter from Elder Morrison

hey family! sorry it's taken me so long. yesterday was columbus day, which apparently closes the library. so we didnt get to us a computer yesterday, and then when we came earlier today, their computers were all down. what a bummer. finally they got them back up, so this may end up being a little short.
well, first, we had our president interviews this week, and something interesting happened. in my interview, i told him that i had been here a while and that am starting to get burned out on this area pretty bad. then he asked me if i was good with computers. kinda threw me off guard, but i told him i havent been using computers much the last 16 months, but that i know how to get around on one. and then i said 'why, are you thinking of sending me back to chesterfield to work in the office?'. well, turns out that's what he's thinking. i may be headed back to the field of chester once again. i would really like that actually. it'd be pretty good to get off of my knees, plus i'd be in jeanne's ward again. i havent talked to her for a while because we've had our phones blocked for long distance because people were calling home. anyway, i'm just pretty excited to have a change. i've been with elder grayson plenty, and though we're getting along, i'm just getting tired. oh well, only a week to go.
this week, we have a special zone conference with Glen L Pace of the Seventy. it should be a good meeting. we have to leave at 6:15 in the morning to get there on time. it kinda sucks being on the borders of the mission.
yeah, i cant believe it's halloween time either. a year ago i was in my 2nd area with my 3rd companion, Elder Smith. crazy stuff. it's kinda weird to think that an entire year (minus 5 weeks) will have been spent in only 2 areas (here and sullivan).
not much else going on. just kinda plugging along, trying to stay motivated in this area for another week.
love you much!
Elder morrison
PS...
i have some bad news. my camera is broken. i dont know what happened, but it just wont turn on. i dont know what you want to do, but i cant really take any pictures if i dont have a camera. i noticed this about a week ago.
i also made a new shirt that (using elder graysons camera) i'll send a picture of for you. i think it's pretty good looking.

Elder Mackenzie. Good to hear from you and that you might be doing your work in the office?? It sounds like you are needing some change. Take good care of yourself and stay on the knees. (Prayer) We love you and are proud of you. Love grandma and grandpa
