Letter from Elder Morrison

dear family,

well, dad you were right, i didnt get to email until today.

so my new companion is Elder Meehan. he is from Houston Texas. originaly he served in the tacoma washington mission. he had to go home for surgery and is now here. he has 11 weeks left on his mission. he is so ready to get married. he was puting marriage quotes on his planner. haha i love the guy to death, he is super funny, goofy and , best of all, a hard worker. we are going to have a great transfer. i do miss elder ayers, just because he was really funny, but this change hasnt been extremely hard on me. elder meehan wears an invicta too. go team invicta!! we did however have an argument, of which i learned a lot. we were trackting and he said, "so i noticed you might be a boise state fan?"

of course i told him i was and we started talking about the fiesta bowls and all that. he proceeded to tell me that the first fiesta bowl they won wasnt that impressive of a game and how over rated boise was. so we refrain from talking about college football. all he could say was how good byu was, that they just lose at the wrong times. any time you lose its the wrong time. hahah and he told me he wrote a paper on how disney is a company inspired by the devil. so that was a bummer. but other than that, we have not had the slightest of dissagreements or problems. i think its kinda funny cus everything in our barn is mini and his is XXXL so it makes me giggle.

it sounds like you had a great fourth of july. seems like more working than relaxing. but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. our weekend was a little rough. people dont want to hear a message from mormon missionaries when they are getting hammered. sunday night, we got in right at 9 in the p.m. we planned and did all that and then, (this is between you and i haha;)) climbed on our barn and saw all of corona with fireworks everywhere. it was such a big relaxer.

so a lot of things are being changed in the mission. pretty drastic things. and as our zone leader was telling us, he came to the conclusion. he told us, that world wide, missionaries, that have served for less than a year, as of july first, will be serving 18 month missions. everyone was like holy crap! what the devil!? then he told us he was joking. he got everyone pretty good. i wouldnt have believed it except for the fact that all the other changes were legit.

today, we had our multi-zone conference. we were there at 8, and left at 330. what a long day of meetings. the church building was very warm, at least in the relief society room we were in.

i havent gotten a package or a letter from hailey. but im sure it will be comeing soon. in fact, it might be at home right now. we havent been back to the barn yet.

we finaly got msf money and so i went shopping yesterday. they had some good deals at the store still from the 4th of july.they had 5 bags of chips for 5 bucks and 5 cases of soda for 10 bucks. elder meehan and i are gunna enjoy it, at least for a little while. haah. i also bought a 1 lbs sausage and a steak too, not to mention a watermelon. they had half gallons of minute maid juice for 99 cents so i got a couple of those. i spent 20 bucks and should be pretty happy this week haha.

thats funny about mom at the pool. of couse it would happen to you. kinda like that time coltin was at swim lessons and you fell in. hahaha. im not sure why they bought those chairs, they always seemed pretty flimsy.

Well family, the time has come to go get changed into some slacks instead of suit pants. by the way, i bought another pair of slacks from Khol's because i found a coupon for 10 bucks off when you spend 20. the pants were 55, on sale for 25 so i got them for 15 plus tax. they seem to be pretty nice as well. awesome! i love you guys.

peace n' love >- (atempt at a hand with the peace sign ;)
