April 23rd, 2012


Hey family!
Well it turns out that I am getting transferred somewhere else.  I was pretty sure that I would be but was hoping to stay for one more because the area is just really starting to pick up.  We had 6 investigators and 2 less active families at church yesterday so it was really good.  The bishop called us into his office after church and thanked us for the work that we were doing in the ward and said he felt bad that we were doing a lot of the work ourselves and that the ward has been dragging their feet.  But it’s not their fault they all have young families and are going to medical school so I can’t blame them too much.  But yeah we had Rollie and his family there and they really like it.  I’m sure that they will all be baptized in a month or two so that makes me happy.  There was a young Mexican couple that came also.  They have been semi solid they both left after sacrament meeting.  They seemed kind of bored in the meeting plus you couldn’t hear the speakers very well over all the crying babies.  I think they are used to hearing a sermon from a preacher.  And then there is this older lady named Sylvia who we are pretty sure will end up getting baptized.  She has a lot of family in Utah that are members and while she was visiting there one of the sisters on temple square got her contact info and so we got a text.  It was pretty cool I can’t remember if I told u but we got the text and went by a few days later and when we talked to her she had only been home for an hour from Utah and her suitcases were still sitting on the living room floor.  So we had pretty good timing.  We went by a few days later and my companion was feeling sick that day so we were just talking to her on her doorstep and Elder McMurray turned around and puked on her sidewalk haha  it was kind of funny.  But she was really nice and brought out some napkins and some water and a can of coke and some cookies she just made.  I sprayed off her sidewalk for her too.  It was a really hot day so she wanted to give us a ride home but we told her that we couldn’t so some other missionaries came and picked us up and our bikes and took us home.  He was ready to go again by the evening it was just a day thing so that was good.  So yeah the work here has been going good so that’s why I wanted to stay for another transfer but oh well I’m sure my new area will be nice too.  So I will email you next week my new address.  It’s pretty crazy I can’t believe I am turning 20 and that’s getting pretty old.  My teenage years are over.  I’m glad that the lawn is looking nice as usual.  We haven’t gotten any tornado weather lately.  I think it keeps missing us because sometimes members will tell us that a huge storm is coming and that we shouldn’t even take our bikes out and then it never happens so we haven’t gotten any here.  I will definitely pray for Dallin.  I hope his injury is not serious.  That’s crazy that he will be a senior in the fall!  It’s crazy how everyone is growing up so fast!  But I’m sure your all counting down the days until school is out for the summer.  Hopefully the girls can pull the 4.0 for the end of year.  Well that’s all I got for this week.  Tell everyone I said hi and thanks for everything!  Love you all and have a great week!
Love ya lots, Elder Morgensen
