Hey everyone! Well it sure has been cold here in Texas these past few days. It's been in the low 40's and sometimes high 30's. It’s that humid cold so it feels colder than it really is and especially when the air is hitting u on a bike. We have just been working hard this week knocking on doors and talking to everyone. We find some pretty interesting people. A lot of people these days when we ask them if they are religious they just say they are spiritual and have their own beliefs about God. It's weird hearing everyone's different beliefs. It’s funny they just think that they know everything and that everything they believe is true. The people with their own beliefs are all the lazy ones that think they can just do whatever. There is really only 1 person we are working with and it is this lady named Wanda. We've met with her 3 times this week and are making a little bit of progress. It was weird cuz it was like around 8 pm and we were just knocking on doors in this dark apartment complex and we saw this lady in another building up on the 3rd floor balcony smoking. So usually we just wouldn’t leave where we were and try to go talk to her. But we decided to and so we were down on the ground and started to talk to her while she was clear on the 3rd floor. We talked for like 5 minutes and then we asked if we could come up and she let us so that was cool. She has a kid and is divorced and she is also from Canada like my companion so they had stuff to talk about and we have developed a pretty good relationship with her. We hope that she wants to keep meeting with us. We took a member to our last lesson with us and it went really well so we are having a dinner with her at his house this week so hopefully it turns out. We taught a lot of lessons this week but just had nobody at church or anything so oh well we will keep trying. One of the kids in the ward just got his call to the St. George Utah mission so that was cool. He's up at BYU right now but I met him when he was home for Christmas break. His name is Kirk Bassett so if he somehow ends up in Beaver u will have to say hi to him. The bishop wants the priest age young men to go out with us to see what it’s like teaching. So starting this week every Tuesday one of them will go out with us for a few hours so it should be pretty fun. We are also doing a presentation for the relief society on missionary work in a few weeks so we've got to prepare for that. So that’s pretty much it for the work for this week. Thanks for the Valentines package u sent me I got it on Saturday. I really like the truffles. Sounds like dad had a pretty fun birthday! Red Lobster sounds really good! I remember eating there before I went into the MTC and that is crazy that was 5 months ago. I'll be at a year in no time. I’m glad u finally got some snow there and not just cold. I’m sure mom enjoys watching Ava. I hope Chantel is able to pass all of her tests and be done with school soon. I hope I will be able to handle the heat here because I have heard it’s pretty bad. I laugh at everyone now in their huge winter coats and scarves and gloves but I’m sure they will be laughing at me in the summer haha. I’m glad Grandma and Raymond are getting close with their mission papers it will be interesting to find out where they go. Well that’s all I’ve got for this week. Have an awesome week and I love you all a lot! Next time u send something to me if u can just throw in a Beaver County Journal so I can read a little of what’s up in Beaver I would sure appreciate it - thanks!:)
Love, Elder Morgensen
