Letter from Elder Morrison

dear family,

well this week was a pretty lazy week unfortunately. elder ayers and i didnt get much done. we put all of our focus on Elvyn Moo, who got baptized on saturday. we had a couple lessons to teach him still and so we taught him a lot this week. his baptism was the very best baptism i have been to in my entire life. kaity dellenbach sang "when i am baptized" in her arrangement of it. then the baptism. while they were getting changed, elder ayers and i gave the first lesson. there were non-members there and the spirit was so strong. after they came back, katie did another song. there is a story behind this one. elvyn had writen a poem, with a lot of symbolism of the tree of life. he loves that vision. anyway, he is the type of person that likes to fit many words into a sentence. it needed some work so we told him katie and her friend jessica could help him. they spent 4-5 hours working on it thursday, and katie played and sang it on saturday. i couldnt believe what i was hearing. it blew my mind! i heard since katie is working on recording for the efy cd, she might try to get it on there as well. we also had a recent convert speak at it about baptism. she was so scared and nervous. we had to help her writer her talk and everything but she did a great job as well. i was really proud of her.

well i have some big news. transfer calls were saturday evening. we got them at 11 in the pm. elder ayers will be going to Palm Desert. holy smokes. i kinda feel bad for him. i hear it is around 115 degrees this time of the year. im gunna miss him, i hate getting new comps. the whole first week is usually weird, but change is unavoidable on the mission. my new companion is elder meehan. i dont know about him too much, other than he is pretty big and pretty loving. so im pretty excited about it all. i heard this is his last transfer here on the mish, so i think that there is a good possibility of me staying for 5 transferes in this area, which means i will be here for my birthday! i sure hope so.

man i am so glad that i am having this break from working at the pool. it sounds pretty crazy there. how is the campaign going? i hope its goin well. when are the elections?

well, we are going to have lunch soon, so elder ayers can say good bye to some peeps. sorry this one is a bit short, but i will talk to you next week with a bunch of info on my new comp.

love you,
