Letter from Elder Morrison

hey family, unfortunately i only have about 5 to 10 minutes to email this go around. saturday night was transfers and i found out i was staying. we went bowling with the elliotts this morning at 10 and at 1230 i received a phone call from the AP and they told me i will be going to jurupa zone. i was pissed to say the least. i didnt even really get to say goodbye to anyone. it has been an extremely hard day for me. i will be on bike in the jurupa 2nd ward. sister elliott and her family were devistated, since i received the call while bowling.

the pic that josh peck sent, was us making sushi. some of the best i have ever had. it sounds like you have had a good weekend. my weekend was great, up until today. i was almost certain that i would be here a nother 3 months since elder meehan goes home in 6 weeks. jokes on me right. tell grandma and grandpa i got their email but due to time, i wont be able to read it quite yet. i might be able to hop on the computer tomorrow when i get to jurupa.

i will try to get my teeth looked at as soon as i can. it is a little hectic right now. it is going to be so hard to leave, i love the people here so much and we are finally getting a couple people on date and a few more that look really promising. oh well, you win some you lose some. i dont understand why out of 200 missionaries, im the one that gets a phone call. oh well, the lord will take care of it. he always does.

i love you guys im sorry for the short one. say hi to brett for me. and tell them congrats.

Love Ty

Letter from Elder Morrison


freak balls that is a huge dog! there is no way in heck that is our dog. mom wouldnt allow it in any way what so ever.
anyway it sounds like life is busy back in moses lake. that is pretty good though. how was jerry garcia's birthday party you threw for him? probably as good as the one you threw for neil diamond. haha

thanks for the package! i got it and really appreciate it. all very useful things. i just about ate my self sick with salt water taffy and happy cola. haha. i loved it!

so this week was a little slower. we helped a guy move on wednesday, all day long. that took it out of me. and my back was super sore after it. i got stuck lifting an electric double recliner with someone and that was the heaviest couch i have ever lifted. anyway that took most of the day and then we taught another lesson to sandra, the lesbian girl. we asked her to be baptized but she is a little scared she doesnt know enough. but we will keep teaching her. friday we tracted for 3 hours straight and ran into a guy that rode horses with ezra taft benson. that was cool. he told us some stories with him. saturday we got stuck helping a guy move again. their truck was 5 hours late and they were moving to utah. it took another all dayer, and quite a few ibuprophen. but hey, at least we were of some help.

sunday at church a hawaiian family came up to us and said their 11 year old son wasnt baptized and they want us to teach him and baptize him this month. pretty exciting i must say. we are seeing them tomorrow. the work is finally starting to pick up. its been hard not having any solid investigators for a while but meehan really wants to baptize before he goes home in 7 weeks so we are really working hard.

i had a question for dad. i was wonderin if you could set hailey up on legal sounds and see if she cant find some christian music for me. its amazing how old some music can get after you listen to it for a while. if not, i understand, you guys are really busy.

you are right, the weather here has been a lot cooler than that last week. wee have been really lucky, infact, monday or tuesday night, it got down to 65 in our barn with the swamp cooler going. it was really nice.
well thats all i can think of to write right now, i will be on for another 30 minutes or so if you are around. love ya

love ty
