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
