Hello
Once Again Audience!!! 4/29/13
To
another wonderful chapter in the “Amazing Adventures of Elder Nathaniel
Morris!!!!”... Ok some-what Amazing Adventures!!!!! This was actually an
amazing, but also a very sad week. Let’s go to the weekly events... kind of
like current events, but not so current.... get it, huh? Ok, enough with the
bad jokes.
So,
Tuesday we had our District Meeting and
interviews... (Nervous). They went
well, we talked about if I felt I could take over the area and if I was using
my planner...It was the second time I didn't have my planner because
someone.... (Finger pointing at myself) left his backpack at an investigator’s
house (Sad face), but it was all good. President Weston said he wants to meet
Arthur someday. That would be cool.
Wednesday was straight missionary work.... all the
HOT DAY LONG!!!!! Then on Friday we had our
final lesson with Michael as an investigator. The next day he was baptized WHOOOOOO HOOOOOO HEY BATTY
BATTY DUNK BATTY!!!! Apparently
the water was so cold that Michael came up gasping for air!!!! lol It was cold because someone (finger
pointing to my companion) didn’t fill the tank right. lol It all went well though. Everyone, but
us were involved in the program.
Well, I was the chorister for the baptism. So, I had a part. The next
day we were in the circle when Michael received the Holy Ghost. So it was an
awesome week.
Now
for Q & A corner!!!!!!!!!
Q1.
How is the bike riding going? Any new finds while you have been
tracting? Have you found an area that Elder Puckett has not tracted yet?
Have you tried anything new in your searching?
A1.
The biking is.... good very very exhausting. I should show you pictures
of the places we go. No new finds, really just some "Randy Jacksons"
(Random people: in Elder Puckett language). Some areas new to Elder Puckett, but we haven't been there
much lately. Just biking around is what we do most of the time.
Q2.
How did Michael's Baptism go? Who baptized him? How are the
other investigators? How is Ann coming along? Is she going to get
baptized soon? Do you like to be the Elder who does the Baptism?
Any special spiritual experiences this past week?
A2.
The baptism went very well. One of his old scout leaders baptized him.
Well, Ann is in the Hospital (super sad face). Hopefully she will be getting
better soon. Well, I've only done one baptism, but it's fun, and of
course it’s the investigators choice. The baptism was the only really
spiritual experience this past week.
Q3.
Kip Critchlow is getting married in May. I know, another person
getting married. lol I guess if you aren't out serving the Lord the next
best thing is living the gospel - right? There are so many things for all
of us to do. I hope you are finding joy in the work you are doing.
How is Elder Puckett doing? Does he get letters from home often?
Did you get my letter this past week?
A3.
Freak... he just came home. What... the heck? Elder Puckett is doing
well. Yeah, Elder Puckett gets letters. Well, actually today
I got your letter!!!!
Q4.
Have you met any new members who like to feed you or give you referrals?
Does the Shasta Lake ward help with the work? Are they willing to
share referrals and have people in their homes to be taught? How is the
Bishopric? Are they engaged and eager to help?
A4.
Well yes, but not like in pervious areas. Not really, everyone is older and
their friends all live in the ward.
We don’t get real referrals from ward members. The Bishopric is good.
They are sort of involved and helpful.
Q5.
Do you get to play piano much anymore? I guess Uncle Paul taught
himself to play the piano. I guess it is possible to teach yourself that
useful skill. What do you like to do to stay in tune and self motivated?
Is there anything we can send or do to help you make the best of the last
few months on your mission? I hope the best is still ahead of you!
A5.
Every now and then I get to play the piano. I'm trying to learn hymns and other fun songs. I listen to
music to help me stay motivated. I don't really understand that question. I can’t think of anything you can
send, as of right now, but I will think about it.
Q6.
What was the happiest moment this past week? What made you laugh
out loud this past week? What was the most frustrating moment this past
week? Who or What made you stop and think for a minute? Are you
writing all these special moments of your mission in your journal?
Remember those things will help you, Martin and others as the journey
continues.
A6.
Michael getting baptized was the happiest moment this past week. The fun
time we had after Michael's lesson made me laugh out loud. We had a debate
about if Goldfish Crackers are animal Crackers (or if fish are animals?). It
was Jonathan (Bishop's son) and I; in favor of fish are animals. Elder Puckett
and Michael believe fish are not animals. lol It was so much fun. What made me think was talking with a JW
who was putting down the King James Version of the Bible... don't get me started.
I’m trying to write in my journal, but that's why I'm having you put these
emails in my blog.
Well
that's it for this email, until next time...
Love,
Elder
Nathan Morris
