Letter from Elder Morrison

first things first, i didnt get the package. i imagine it will come today. we were in the office on sat, but we had to leave for a while and just left the bucket for mail outside the door. the mail guy came while we were gone, so he may have kept it so it didnt get stolen or something. this week, although it's only been a few days since i emailed, has been pretty crazy. we had our zone conferences, which were hectic. we had 4 zone conferences in 4 days, and we had to check windshield wiper fluid, oil, tire tread depth, and body damage on all of them. lots of work to do. plus they were all over the place. first was in Cape Girardeau, 2nd in chesterfield, 3rd in o'fallon illinois, and 4th in columbia. that is a lot of travel. the one in columbia was freezing, and i hadnt packed a jacket or anything because it had been so nice the days before. as i was filling up some windshield fluid, i splashed some on my hand and that was really really cold because the wind was blowing pretty hard too.
this weekend, we spent some time in the office catching up on the week, and then we had our several hours of church.
sounds like for creesh that birthday was pretty sweet. i wish i could have been there.
as for hockey, i'm really stoked to be able to play next year. you'll have to be sending me some pictures and videos of everyone playing.
i was reminded at church that there are some native moses lakers in the ward here. the Bowen family. he said they were just up there this week doing some salmon fishing on the columbia. needless to say i was pretty jealous.
yesterday at church we had a food storage/finance sunday. sacrament meeting was all about that, including the hymns "we give thee but thine own" and "because i have been given much". sunday school was divided so that one hour the high priests and their families were in a finance and food storage class, while the elders and youth were in their normal classes, and then they switched so there was no PH or RS. at the end they were giving away a few items for food storage, and nobody was taking it. we were just talking to someone at the front of the chapel and a guy in the ward just started handing stuff to us. so we each got 2 cans of chicken and rice soup, 2 cans of green beans, and a box of ritz crackers. this goes toward our 7 day food storage, while everyone else needs to get 90 days. lol.
and about the driving, you dont have to worry about me driving in spokane now. lol. i can drive in the middle of st. louis (which in case you didnt know is way bigger than spokane).
well, love you all. hope you're doing well, and i am looking forward to the package!
Elder Morrison
