Hey Everyone!
Sounds like u all had a sweet week down in St. George! That sounds like a lot of fun! I bet the baptisms for the dead was really cool for the monkeys and for dad being able to baptize them. That's really cool that u have been finding names of ancestors to do the work for; thats sweet! I'm sure there were a lot of people there for Ava's blessing. But yeah it's my 6 month mark on Wednesday; it's really cool! Time really does fly by. That's cool about Glen Beck; I didn't know that about him. I just always thought that he grew up a member. We haven't been back to teach him yet but I'm sure we will in the future. We had 2 investigators at church yesterday which was cool. One lady we met on our bikes on the side of the road. We just stopped and talked to her and have been teaching her. This has been her second time at church her name is Stephanie. She is just a little crazy but really nice. She likes to talk a lot about herself in the lessons so we try to control her ha ha. But the other one we met on Saturday. We were knocking in an apartment complex and started talking to this guy up on his balcony and said we could come up. His name is Shawn and he is originally from Philadelphia but has just moved here from North Carolina. He is pretty cool; he is black and 30 years old and looking for a job around the area. We taught him the restoration lesson and at the end invited him to church. He said he would think about coming and we were thinking like that always means a no. But then we said we could have a ride pick him up and he was like yeah actually i will come now. He said that since he has been here tons of people have invited him to a church but they just tell him where it's at and what time it starts and nobody has ever offered him a ride, cuz he doesn't have a car. So we picked him up yesterday morning and he was waiting outside for us and he really liked church. It was a really good testimony meeting and after church he said it was his favorite part so that was good. Then after church that evening we had a lesson in a members home with him and it just went really good. He told us that he said a prayer and said that if we ended up picking him up for church then this was where he was supposed to be. So it all worked out pretty good and he said he wants to come next week. He said it was the weirdest Saturday ever cuz that morning he went out and bought a used bible and then that afternoon we taught him. The members also invited him over for a BBQ tonight with some other ward members and we have a lesson tomorrow with him in the members home again. So he looks pretty promising. He accepted the baptismal invite cuz he hasn't been baptized before. We are also going to get in contact with the ward occupation specialist to see if he can find him a job or something. So yeah that's how the work has been going here. We are still finding more people to teach and hopefully come to church. But yeah tell Grandma I got her email; I just can't respond today. But that's cool that Brad is getting married this week and yeah send the invite next time u mail something along with my news papers thanks :) And yeah, we have a temple in San Antonio; we can only go once while on our mission so I'm waiting for a bit later. I'm getting really excited for general conference too; it should be really good:) I love to hear them speak. Well sorry monkey's I don't have much time left but just keep doing whats right and doing good in a school and everything and above all have fun:) but yeah it will be cool to see where Grandma and Raymond go. The senior couples are always way nice; we had dinner with one a few nights ago and they are way cool. Well family, I love you all a lot; have a great week!
Love Elder Morgensen
