Well, another week down and another investigator in the water. Sunday night we baptized M., a 15-year-old kid who is B's friend (the guy we baptized two weeks ago). He was resistant the first time that he was taught by Elder A. a couple of months ago, but now, out of nowhere, he decided that he wanted to be baptized. We are teaching his mother and grandmother as well, both of whom have a lot of potential (M's mom cried at his baptism). So here in a couple of weeks we are planning on baptizing them too. The Lord has been blessing us with lots of people to teach and lots of baptisms this transfer (we have got one or two baptisms lined up for next Sunday too). This is a fantastic area for me to finish my mission in.
One thing I couldn’t help but comment on this week is that I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the family I have. Every day I teach dysfunctional families who bicker, fight and separate over either little, stupid, immature things or huge family problems (cheating, etc.), and I just can’t help but be grateful and happy for the family and life that I have. So, Mom and Dad, thank you for everything. Thank you for the happiness you have given me, and congratulations on the family you have created.
I’m totally jelly that two months before I get home, my favorite band [Boston] is touring in Utah. Make Michelle film “More than a Feeling” for me. I want to hear how they sound. Take lots of pictures too. I’ll do the best that I can to be there in spirit..
I’m happy that I am here in this ward. It is a great ward in a great area, and I’m with a great companion. I am pretty sure that Elder A. will be transferred (he is more than qualified to be senior companion now) so I’ve got one more comp waiting for me. We will just wait and see. But for now we are just going to keep working and keep baptizing.
I love you all. Stay strong.
I understand about indecision
But I don’t care if I get behind.
People livin’ in competition
All I want is to have my peace of mind.
Elder Morris
