heyyyyyy
This week was up and down like crazy as well.
To start it off I had the worst P-day ever last week. Let me go through our day, we cleaned which was terrible, then we went to the 'Gerocery Store' (Best 2 Years voice). tHENNN...we were getting ready play some ball and we all decided to take pre-workout so we all could have some energy. Well, it turns out--
pre-workout is the worst thing ever invented and it gave me the worst migraine I have ever had in my life. So we didn't go out Monday night because I couldn't even look at a light without my brain exploding.

Tuesday-Thursday was a lot of finding and contacting people. We were out all day workin hard... and nothin. We had only a few conversations with people that wouldn't even count as lessons. We also did a big service project with another zone on Thursday at the Childrens' Home Orphanage. I volunteered for the worst job too, pressure washing-- haha mom would appreciate that! Me and Elder Zesiger were the pressure washers. It was super fun to be able to talk to him again and talk about our zones and stuff. He is awesome!
Friday we had zone meeting which was really great I got a lot of great things out of it. We focused on goal setting and how we can set high goals that are obtainable.
We had a goal for 3 new investigators this week and we had 0 all the way until Saturday. It was a really slow week and we didn't have a lot of success at all. Then Saturday came and we were knockin some doors. This couple invited us in and we taught the restoration and they were pretty interested. So we were at 2 NI for the week at Saturday. We really wanted to reach our goal because you feel so much better when you do. Then Sunday came and we had a lot of hope that we were going to have a lot of people at church-- we could have had 5 that said they'd come. Only 2 showed up, but it was great! We taught Huan Huan the Gospel of Jesus Christ and he wants to get baptized. It looks like it will be early November time. Then later that night we had set up an appointment with Sister Davidson a less active and her non member boyfriend, Jon. It went so great, we taught the restoration and he was really interested. I gave the first vision account and it was awesome. The spirit was so strong in the room and he was really prepared to hear the gospel. So that was a huge highlight to our week after a rough start. We were pretty stoked to be able to reach all our goals this week.

I just got a haircut and then we are going to the mall to get some shoes and a sweater for winter. Then going to play some ball probably. Elder Shults is a big trash talker, he always says he is gonna dunk on me.
Got a hair cut! |
Also I cannot belive that about Cooper. That is so sad to hear. That must be so tough... I can't even imagine. He was awesome. He was always super fun to play against and I just remember him being super nice and complimentary whenever I saw him.
You can send another package whenever, we ate all the food pretty quick. haha We eat a lot of food. We are good on laundry detergent and clorox wipes though.
Love yall so much and hope everyone is doing well!
love you mom!

excerpts from Brad's letter to Jeff:
This week was really tough for the first 4 days, but its amazing how it can turn around with a good weekend. This will be bike week and it should be good. It's supposed to be high 70s so we will work hard even if we are drenched in sweat after it.
To answer your question, our motto should be "If ye keep the commandments, ye shall prosper in the land." I am reading in 1 and 2nd Nephi so that is a huge theme. I think if we really try and keep the commandments, as in read he scriptures daily, pray often, follow the prophet and pay an honest tithe that our family will be blessed in a lot of ways.....and our future families.
LOVE YOU dad thanks for the great email
Elder Morgan
PS. What are your thoughts on the motto, I know you always would talk about that theme of the Book of Mormon, so i thought it would fit well.
