Elder Torask and I

We get back to our apartment building Monday night and everyone is outside and our door is open. We get out of the car and the maintenance dude asks very angrily if we forgot to do something. He then told us that we nearly burned down the whole apartment building. Well it turns out Elder Torsak left the burner on after he boiled water but cleaned the pot and Elder Smith had taken his nuggets out of the oven and unknowingly put them on a hot burner and we left  right after he took them out. So the nuggets got superrrr burned and made the whole buildings smoke alarms go off. I thought it was kinda funny. Also I don't think that nuggets will make the whole apartment burn down, they don't really catch fire.

My only pair of regular shorts got snagged last time during service and got a hole in them. So I took the matter into my own hands and sewed it! I'm pretty proud of it to be honest. It's not perfect but it's honest work and does the job.

We got to do quite a bit of service this week which was excellent and my favorite thing still.

 

I learned quite a bit about myself which is always interesting. It's not like you even try to learn things about yourself. It's just like, OH I'm like this or I'm like that or I really don't like that or I really like this. Yep that's how I would describe it. I learned that I am not a great texter and don't do well with contacting when I can't see the person. I really like action and being there and am very annoyed with always being behind a screen but that's ok 

This week has FLOWN by and honestly the week before that did too. TIME IS FLYING.

Paid for a drink at the gas station with 95 pennies, and a dime. It was excellent.

Study time is the best time and I find myself later in the day just wanting to study more, it's actually super cool to have slowed down and fully come to appreciate all the books of scripture.

 

I played, "In Christ Alone" on the ukulele and sang with 2 sisters in my district! It took a ton of time and work and I'm so happy with how it turned out.

My Sunday was excellent because I got to study so much!! I am so grateful for studying and the Spirit that it brings. I learned a lot from the Book of Mormon and also from the book of Acts in the Bible. Reading how the old apostles worked miracles is so cool!

I'm also reading Saints 2 and have loved how it explains everything so clearly. It's a big testimony builder :)

Elder Torsak, Elder Tippets, Elder Smith and I

I  made cookies this week and they were HUGE, it's crazy and they aren't too bad but I'll have to do better next time because these ones are just a little bit too hard. EVERYTHING is a learning process, don't stress about it so hard 

I'm getting transferred! Something crazy is that the only time I have packed my bags on the mission, was to go home... but we will see where I'm going to next! 

I'm sorry for all you poor souls out there starting school. 

LOVE Y'ALL

Elder Morrison
