dear family,

First things first...

the oreo contest was SICK!!!!!! we each ate 42 oreos. elder kidman doesnt do stuff like that. but the other 3 of us did. i wanted to throw up so so so bad but couldnt get myself to. we took in 18,000 calories just from the oreos, plus the milk. needless to say, i hate oreos. during the week i thought i would be able to handle one and i put it in my mouth and almost barfed everywhere.another funny story. we started playing this game called the sandwich game. if you make a sandwich, cut it or bite it, then set it down without anything on top of it, it is fair game for someone to punch. elder anderson wouldnt set his sandwich down so i started eating his oranges out of his can and he put the sandwich down to stop me and BOOM BOOM BOOM! destroyed his samich. hahahah it was dang funny.

im so dang jealous that you all get to see grandma. everyone i live with has at the most 6 months left and getting the letters from grandma, all i hear is "im goin home". ah! only 19 and a half left hahahaha. tell grandma hello and i love her, and i will write her next week, not this p-day, we got a lot to do.

i might be transfered this next weekend. it could really go either way. i guess we will wait and see.

we had dinner with the Phillips this last week and i found out she was born in moses lake. she is related to all the duvalls. small world huh?

last tuesday we went and painted with the other missionaries at Wileys house. he had just gotten back from costa rica and had money to buy paint. he was leaving on thursday for france so we had to help him paint sometime inbetween those 3 days. it looks way nice now. they had graffitti everwhere in there so now it looks like a legit house haha. he also showed us upstairs where that murder took place. it was so crazy. it felt like i was monk. it was pretty obvious where everything happened, concidering there are holes in the walls the perfect shape of a head. there is even still a couple drips of blood in the room. it was kinda spooky but i guess ever since elder burton and i dedicated the home, or prayed over there, they havent been bothered by it. thank heavens for the priesthood. ;)

your never gunna guess what i found at the store shopping today.l.............INCA KOLA!!!!!!!! it is bein chilled in our fridge at the moment.

so i had a question for dad. how much do those little printers usually cost? the ones that print it off the sd card? i really want to print pictures off but i hate doing it at walmart because it just adds another thing to go and do on pday. plus its walmart. need i say any more? lol maybe you could look on ebay for me and see what you can find.

oo one more story. we went to teach our recent convert andre and one of their friends showed up. they invited him to listen in and he said sure. he had some dang good questions and as an end result, he said he would be baptized april 17th, 2010. the story is even cooler because we were an hour late for our appt. with them. if we werent late, he wouldnt have been able to make it to the lesson. i always knew there was something good about mormon standard time. i never really appreciated the fact that chandler was late to everything but it just goes to show, chandler knew what was goin down. haha so sweet.

well thats about all, send my love to all the family, i love you all. be safe,

love tu-ty

O Canada!

Just thought I'd post a picture of Kevakin during the off season. He really misses hockey!

hey family,

sounds like everything is goin way good at home! dad, sounds like your trip was a blast. that would be pretty tight.

everyone is growin up. pretty crazy stuff.

i was going to send some pictures home today, but i forgot my camera so i guess that will have to wait until next week. our baptism was pretty good. the member of the bishopric didnt show up until 10 after 4 and it was supposed to start at 4. only 1 person in the ward was there besides the 2 that were on the program. President and Sister Reeves were there though! that was way cool. we also and Diana and Beatrice there as well. i really hope those two decide to be baptized. and there is another twist to the baptism. ELDER BURTON CAME!!! Yay! haha it was so good to see him. at transfers, he was transfered to Murrieta, but now is in riverside as an office assistant! that was so cool to find out. it was a breath of fresh air to be able to talk to him. we all think that they got him to be an OA because the mission office is moving and Burton is freakin huge and can lift stuff haha. he is doing really good though.

i also found out that President Reeves' family are funeral directors haha. lookie there.

i was shocked when mom sent me the newspaper in the mail. that is so sad, i was like no no no no no no. and then i read the police reports and laughed pretty hard haha. he was a good guy though, that's for sure.

can you believe we are starting week 5 of this transfer already? this transfer has gone by pretty fast. zoom ZOOM zoom. i got about a 50\50 chance at bein transfered. i have been in perris a while, but the work is finally starting to pick up. it could really go either way. i think that i would be fine with either.

here in about 2 hours we are going to be having an oreo eating contest. we are seeing who can eat a package of double stuffs the fastest. dunno how well that will go, im just glad i already bought milk. ;)

last week, we went on zone leader exchanges because i am DL-B. lol but i got to go with elder anderson in his area. he has an expired licence...ipso-facto...i got to drive the zone leader truck! it was pretty nice not to sit in the passenger side and get crazy car sick. that was a really good day.

durring the week we went to go check on a less active family, about 15 miles away. we had to treck through dirt roads in mountains to get there. it was pretty crazy but they are really cool people.

welp, thats aboot all i can think of to write. i love you guys and miss you each and everyday.

much love,

Ty

Another Puck Stays Out of the Net

What A Weekend!

In a five game tournament, the Moses Lake Warriors ended up with the 3rd place trophy at the Moscow Idaho Squirt Classic. Kevakin played well and ended the season with a "W" beating Moscow 4-3.

After missing half the season due to a stubborn medical problem, he was able to prove to the team he was worth waiting for.

Comments were made by other coaches and team members that Moses Lake had the best goalie in the tournament. Call me bias, but I would have to agree!

Congrats to the boys on a successful season!

Letter from Elder Morrison

hey fam!

wow coltin! nice job! that will be so sweet to play with you again. only about 20 more months haha.well i guess i will tell you about my comp. he is from Logan Utah, and has been out 17 months. he has sculliosus and cant be on bike. he is the oldest of 6. he is a little goofy but thats ok haha. there is some stuff that he does that drives me bonkers but thats alright. gotta learn to deal with it.i honestly thought that a car would be super sweet, however, i do not like it. its nice when its raining but i just dont like it. we dont get to talk to near as many people and we have to constantly worrie about miles. so i was wondering if you ever found anything out on my physical therapy exercises? and could you send me my return with honor ring? if not its alright.so our appt. with ashley fell through, she wasnt there, shocker. as far as diana and beatrice, haha she forgets everything and is so funny to teach. but they sound as though they want to get baptized, just wont pick a date yet. but are you ready for some more shocking news? MY FIRST BAPTISM! haha when we took over other area, they were teaching a kid named Andre Hill. we taught him some comandments and committed him to be baptized. he said yes on the 2nd. tomorrow we will be holding his baptism at 7 pm. im really excited for that. the two lessons we tought to him were at brother Miles' house (coun. in bishopric) around a camp fire. he has the craziest swimmingpool ever. its so nice i was bummed i couldnt swim in it. he said its the largest built in riverside county in the last 5 years, as far as backyard swimmingpools go. its about 4 times as big as kales. and it wraps around a hug rock that they turned into a waterfall. pretty nuts.well, thats about all. its pretty crazy tryin to figure out the new area, even more so since they didnt keep good tabs in the area book. some teaching records dont have an address or a phone number. that sucks. haha

Love you all, thanks for the email.

Love elder morrison
