Hello
Once again Family and Friends, 5/20/13
Man
this has been a crazy week and I really mean crazy week!!! Starting off last
P-day after I sent my E-mail and had great fun playing scatter ball, one of the
missionaries that is training got a call from the mission office and found out
that we (As in Shasta Lake) are giving up our car to the new sisters that are
coming in. I was furious...
because we live very far a way from everyone and our area is huge, like in more
than 50 miles across and it’s also very hilly. Yeah, so no more car.... for now.
Things
are a little better now.... well almost. We are just working on getting things
going in the city part of our area. Now we are going to have to rely on
the members to take us around the farther out places. It makes it hard as a
District leader as well. The lack of car makes it hard to do exchanges and
other things such as district meetings.
I hope to get a car soon.
Enough
about my complaints, let’s head to Q & A CORNER!!!!
Q1.
First question. Who is your new companion? Where is he from? How long has he
been out in the field? Tell us something interesting or unique about him.
A1. My companion’s name is Elder Henke and
he is from Dallas Texas. He's been out for 9 months. Um, he's just unique all
around, fun, good and easy to get along with.
Q2.
Tell us about your district. How many sisters? How many Elders? Are you
enjoying serving as the district leader? What cities are included in your
district? Are you able to find motivation for you and the others in your
district? Do you feel your district is strong and making significant progress?
A2.
There is one set of sisters and 4 sets of Elders (including us). I like it when
I can actually see or be around my district. It is quite spread out. The district includes the north part of
Redding, Shasta Lake, Mount Shasta, Weed, and well basically all those places.
Yes, we are all very motivated. Well, it’s the first week as the district
leader and I can't say much about the others, so not too sure where we stand at
this point.
Q3.
Tell me more about your house? I know you live in a member’s home, but do you
share the kitchen or do you have your own kitchen? I'd love to see pictures and
hear more about where you live. Are you keeping it in good shape and offering
to help the people who house you?
A3.
It’s like a separate section of the house. We have our own kitchen and bathroom. We are trying too offer help and do our
part but it’s tough.
Q4.
How is your new member, Michael doing? How are all your investigators doing?
Have you been able to contact the referral you had? Have you had any luck with
tracting and "finding" on your own? Do you ever run into people to
teach when doing p-day activities, like shopping?
A4.
Michael he is doing AWESOME!!!! The others are doing ok? Elder Puckett and
Bishop tried, but only met with the son.
Now we don't have a car so it's going to be a pain to get there. Not
much success tracting, I was really scattered brain this week, but I'm doing
better now. Sometimes we do meet people on our p-days.
Q5.
What was a highlight of your week? What made you frustrated this
week? Did you have a moment that brought you to tears? Did you have
a moment that made you laugh so hard you couldn't breath? What was a
something that taught you something new about yourself? Share your
favorite moment of the past week?
A5.
Um, no real highlights, yet.
Frustrated would be “Losing the CAR”, (tears), losing the car... (Laughing),
losing the car. What I learned
about myself is that I really need to take something and just roll with it. I
guess the favorite moment was having an awesome Sunday.
Q6.
How has the weather been? Today,
it was only 61 degrees here with showers and my computer said it was 84 degrees
and sunny in Shasta Lake! We are so jealous of you. Do you like it
warm and sunny or rainy and cool? Little Miss Crissy seems to think you
prefer rain! hummmm
A6.
It has been warm, but actually it was pretty cool for the last few days. We
heard now it’s going to getting hot, like in the triple digits. I do prefer rain
and cool.
Sorry
it took so long to send this. Life without a car is tough, but we are going to
get by. Pray for us.
Love,
Elder
Morris
