This week was pretty good. We got snow but it didn't stick for long. Ethan is still
LOving school, even Mr. Scott's class, if you can believe it. He is really into the book series, The Rangers apprentice. There are 12 books in the series and he is on number 11. He hasn't read all of them in order. When he finds them at the library he reads them. The silly kid falls asleep reading them and wakes up at 6:00 to read some more before school. He even gets up that time on the weekends.
Hope had a talk in Primary today. It was on missionaries. She practiced all week and today she would hold the pictures but not talk into the mic. So I got to give her talk. Never thought that would happen. She always talks about wanting to talk in the mic. Guess she decided it was scary.
Dad brought home light switches from work and has started installing them. They all hook up wirelessly to a computerized box. And are programmable . They are kind of fun to play with.
The Morrow's oldest son had his mission farewell today. He gave a great talk. He is going to North Carolina.
Have a great week,.
Love ya, Mom
Things are going Great here, transfer news came and i am staying in the same area but i am getting a new companion, it will be my first African companion, so we will see how it goes. i hear he is a great guy though. we didnt really find anyone to teach but we still have 3 families that we are teaching so we have been putting a lot of time with them and also with the RCLA's. The Camera made it along with the rest of it!! The camera is really nice, and does a really good job, i figured out that if i have the setting on high it takes really high quality pictures that can fill up the 16g that you sent me in about a 8 min video or about 500 pictures haha. but let me tell you OH how i miss American FOOD!!! its so good!!! The district and zone are having a big thanksgiving dinner tonight with TON of other people and so i am hoping it will go well. we are having turkey and lots of other food as well. cant wait to fill myself up to the point of exploding :) Just kidding haha. I know Ethan likes those books, its a good book i read all 12 of them. they should be making more of them as well. i kinda did the samething as he did. I thought that Hope would talk with no problem but i guess i was wrong, oh well. Sounds like dad is getting the toys, thats cool. well nothing really special happends in the end i work in sorry to say but thats not my choice, the most fun i get is working out, and blasting people when they are being stubborn haha. Hope everything is going well. Its strange to think that i am 6 months on my mission!!! thats crazy!
*I am assuming that RCLA means Recovering the less active-mission talk. -Traci
I also go to see a solar eclipse here it was awesome it only happends once every 100 years or so i got lucky to see it :)
Mission zone elders
we did also did a fire side and it was kind of funny but it went really well we blind folded the people and they all had to find there way to a spot without looking and then told them that its about just as hard to find the LA people and to bring them back to church but its there job.
Hey Elder,
I hope this finds you in good spirits and loving the work. I want you to know what a good example you are setting for your younger brothers. Every time Parker prays he includes you, and today at the dinner table he prayed for the people in Africa as well. I was very touched. He misses you more than you could know. Hope is also always asking when you are coming home. We have to remind her that you are going to be gone for a long time. Today she asked if you were always going to be in Africa, and we promised her that you would come home when your work was done. These are moments that tug at a parent's heart strings in both directions. Pulled one way towards being so grateful for a faithful son, and pulled the other way because his siblings miss him so much. You are a special servant of the Lord. Always remember that.
Bryson Morrow had his farewell address today at church. He's going to North Carolina and enters the MTC on December 4th. He gave a great talk and took most of the time. He is a little older so you might not know him. We also had a baby blessing, so it was standing room only in sacrament meeting, even with chairs set up to the back of the gym. Talk about a big ward!
On Wednesday, I am going to the doctor to have procedure to take out a filter that was installed when they found I had blood clots in the hospital. It's been in longer than they would have liked, but it should still be a straight forward procedure.
So Thanksgiving is this week. We're headed up to Teri's house in Morgan. You remember making that drive I'm sure. You mom has a special service project planned that is meant to bless the lives of those whom you are serving right now. I'm not sure if it's meant to be a surprise so I'm not saying what it is just yet. I'm not sure if Thanksgiving is a thing over there, maybe not, but even if it isn't I hope you take some time to reflect on what you have to be grateful for. I'm sure you could come up with quite a list.
On the top of my list is a son who is serving the Lord. I know I have not always been a great example of what the gospel should be about, but I thank Heavenly Father every day for whatever other influences you have been blessed by to put you where you are today. It's something that makes my heart swell every time I think about it.
I hope you are eating well, staying hydrated, working hard and obeying the mission rules. If you do these things I know you will be blessed. Know that we pray for you daily. Please send more pictures when you can, especially ones with you in them. :)
Love, Dad
