Letter from Elder Morrison

well hey there family
first off
Hola! Feliz navidad! Merry bolated christmas,, christmas was yesterday and incase you were wondering what i got....oh....i dont know....maybe try one hundred and fifty dollars to itunes!!!
haha
ok so the rest of this week has been alright. its hard to get back into the swing of things. today we got someone to come open up the family history center for us. do you remember that shortcut i told you about? well elder worthen decided we should take it in the truck. it was still pretty muddy and to say the least, we are missing a fog light right now. well we have it, just not in the right spot.
anyways thank s so much for the christmas gifts again. they were great. it was way great talking to you all, but it made me a little homesick the next day.
but with the presents, im pretty sure that those gifts ruined any chance of me having a productive study ever again. haha everything will be quiet and goin well and then POW! i will shoot E. Burton in the mellon with my nerf gun. I be Bustin a cap in yo ace son! im a reall gangsta now.
well the night before last, we were both really tired and got into bed at about 10. the zone leaders barely got home after we got in bed and they got us up. so much for havin a full nights sleep. earlier at dinner they got me to eat a chile, they said it was the 3rd hottest chile in the world, but not until after i had eaten it. bad deal my friends. anyway i stole about 10 of them and put them in my pocket because i was going to play a prank on worthen, but we ended up doing something different. elder burton was going to eat 6 of them at once for a tie that worthen had. i recorded it all on video and i will be sending home my card soon so you can see it.
thanks for workin on the cd's. if it is too much hastle, dont worrie about it. i hope things are all going well at home. i cant wait to hear cole and kurts farewell. that will be neat. i cant believe tyler is going to brazil. that is pretty sweet. i wish with how lonely marshall looks, that he would flippin write me back. haha
well family, i dont have much else to write. other than the fact that dinner is going to blow tonight because last time we ate at this persons house there was hair in my lasagna. "barf"
The Hodge is out of town and we have been pretty loud and crazy haha. gotta do it while we can.
i guess that i had better go, so i will talk to you all next week
Much love
Elder Morrison

well i keep getting screwed on this whole email thing. this pday is going to be very busy and i only have 20 min to read and write emails. about the hair. haha we have to have a part in our hair. just lookin like a pimpin missionary haha dad that new calling is going to be so tight!!! hahahahahah that is so funny about the phone call, i will be calling the house around 2 or three i think.
i hope that is when anyway. we are going to the taylors to make the phone calls.
i got your christmas package the other day. and i have it all under a christmas tree. i cant wait. its gunna be tight.
i got a gift from grandma and you will have to ask her why i opened it before christmas. i am sending her a letter today. but it was a bsu stocking which was so sweet!
so you all need to make sure that you send me some sweet pics after christmas. i miss seein whats goin down at home. pictures are sweet. getting mail flippin changes a terrible day into a fantastic one. i love it. hahah did kenz like my scripts i gave him? hahah good luck on that whole thing.
ok now i can tell you about the week. we are teaching a couple named Juanita and Nick. they are a mexican couple and they are pretty solid. i hope they get baptized. i can see it happening next transfer. they came to sacrament meeting and it was such a good one. a lot of music. the last one they came to they talked on the media and internet and gaming hahah terrible for an investigator. but they came back so i guess it was good. anyway during the week we got into a bash with a pastor. it really sucked, elder burton was bashing with him and i just stood there. normally bashes dont get to me but this one did and this is why. he was so demeaning towards us as people.
normally people try to bash about scriptures, he was so insulting and hating towards us. i wish he could have heard himself because everything he said contradicted himself. but it put me in a bad mood for a while and im still tryin to shake it off. but i will be fine. just gotta keep on keepin on.
ok sorry this letter isnt long, but i will call you on christmas. i love you all so very much. talk to you in a while,


Love Elder Morrison

ps i heard Paula is getting baptized! pretty sweet.

Letter from Elder Morrison

hey mom and family!
Well i am here in Perris California. now i can tell people that i am livin in perris! haha well my comps name is elder burton. he is from murray Utah. he has been out for onnly 6 months, but has been such a great example to me. our area is a bike area but we cover a lot. unfortunately the second day we ran over a grove of thorns and we havent had bikes the last few days.
ok, our ward is so small. and the chorister is so funny. im pretty sure he was one of the people that was part of the lollipop guild on wizard of oz. Burton hates me for pointing that out because now we cant sing because we laugh.
Unfortunately i will be sending your ipod and my speakers back home. I read on the mission rules the only approved electronic devices are cd player and speaker. :( oh well. we dont listen to music a whole lot anyway.
the zone leaders just moved into our home share. they are great guys. however our missionleader/homeshare is freakin nuts. he makes us dust the door knobs. reminded me of monk. Too bad i didnt get to see the last one.
well the first day we were here we went to teach a family that even elder burton hadnt taught and i was pretty nervous but it went very well. their names are Ray Jeannie and Hector. The other day we tracted into a lady named Jennifer and i gave the entire first lesson on her doorstep. she never stopped me so i just kept going. i gave her a BOM and a Passalong Card. we went back but she had left her house. i hope we get in contact again.
ok story time.
well our area is pretty sketch hahah. part of it is really nice homes and some of it is the flippin ghetto. but we were in the ghetto part and we were going to an appointment. burton made a few calls and i while he was calling i started to get a bad feeling. some people walked by and i shared some gospel with them and they went on their way. then we were going to the appointment and it kept getting worse and worse. this was around 730 or 8. they cancelled on us and we started walking back towards home. i told burton that i had the scariest, worst feeling i have ever had. and he said ok maybe we need to turn around so we turned back to were we were a little before, where the feeling started, and he asked if it was getting better. it was actually getting worse so we decided to go straight to the house and not talk to everyone we see like we normally do. I dont know what was going on over there, i didnt find anything out, but i know we werent supposed to be there at that time. by the time we got back home i was back to normal. nothin to worrie about mom, the lords watchin us.
well i dont have my house address yet. im sorry. i still havent unpacked everything. we have been so busy.
we had dinner with a family that is so awesome. the mom reminds me so much of christy.
there is a nother family, The Sierra's, they drop everything they do to help us. they even gave us a key to their house. they love the missionaries so much.
well it sounds like the paper route is awesome....haha. dont miss those days. but the extra money must be nice.
I cant think of anything else to tell you about. things are going great. i jammed my thumb playing basketball today and it still isnt feeling better. i hope it isnt broken. its the same one i hurt in that hockey game a while back. speaking of hockey, i wish i could see coltin play. maybe send me a couple pictures.
i need to get my charger soon hahah its killin me not to take pics. yesterday we saw 8 or so horses just walking down the 4 lane street with mexicans on them. not s0methin you see everyday.
Well today we are getting a palm tree to decorate for a christmas tree. im excited.
I love you all. You are always in my prayers. cant wait for christmas calling.
Much love,
Elder Morrison
