7/2/18... We had our Meet and Greet with President and Sister Adler!

Holla madre!!

Wow y all are in Slovakia right now.  That blows my mind!  Lol I still can't believe how many trips y'all have been on since I've been gone, I don't think I could even count them all. Oh well, we'll have some fun ones. We need to go somewhere cool this winter though because I'll have free time haha. Tell Pavol I said hi, that's so cool y'all got to go see his graduation, tell him I said congratulations. 

This week has been wild. Tuesday we went on exchanges and I was with Elder Crouch and Elder Anderson and Elder Hull went Kannapolis. It was a fun exchange Elder Crouch is a great guy. We were able to teach some people I think, i cant really remember back that far right now. But that night Elder Crouch taught me how to solve a rubiks cube! That's right! I can officially come home from my mission successfully now that I've learned that. I'm actually so proud of myself for it haha. Oh wait I remember one lesson we taught, we went with Brother Cielo to the lady who we blessed her home last week. We had a great lesson with her and read the Book of Mormon the Brother Cielo took us to get some food....also a weird thing happened there. The bartender guy was speaking Spanish to brother Cielo and asked who we were and said that we were "sexy" hahaha I wanted to puke.  

But that night we also got calls for transfers.....and the whole zone got switched up pretty much. Elder Hull got transferred to York, SC. Which was really surprising. Elder Anderson and I are staying and we got an Elder named Elder Talgo! He's awesome.  He's a convert of about 4 years and has a 4yr degree from USC already about to go to law school next year. He has been out about 20 months and he's a really great elder.  I'm excited to get to finish my mission with him and Elder Anderson. Wednesday was all over the place thing to get to our lessons and pack and see people to say goodbye. We went to the Cielos last and they made us the best guacamole I've ever had (besides yours mom of course) it was sooooo good, she put jalapeno juice in it too and we had quesadillas with guac and it was amazing. Then Thursday we transferred got Elder Talgo and we had 5 appointments scheduled for that night and all of them fell through! All of them, even a church tour. But Brother Ange came out with us and it was fun getting to know him, we visited some part member families and he took us to get ritas which is soft serve ice cream with Italian Ice, it's pretty good. 
Friday we had our meet and greet with President and Sister Adler! That was a lot of fun. Very interesting though. Their flight got cancelled from Atlanta to Charlotte so they drove 4 hours last night and were exhausted that day. But they're from Germany, they have thick German accents, kind of like an Elder Uchtdorf and Arnold Schwartzenegar combined! It's so awesome haha. You have to really listen to get it all. They're so nice though and are so excited to be here. We had a short 5 minute interview with them and they seem really good. Pretty exciting to be a part of this switch.  He said he's not really going to change anything at least until he gets a good grasp on everything for a while. Then he had his first mission president's fireside this Sunday and we were able to go to that. Sabrina came who is a recent convert and we are actually going to start teaching her sister today which is really exciting, she came to church on Sunday. 
Went on a triple date last night...... lol no of course not, but we had a dinner with a couple in the ward and they told us that 3 non members were going to be at dinner. So we were like, awesome that's a great opportunity. We get there and sit down for a minute and they told us that four 20 yr old girls were staying with them haha. It was kind of funny but it was a good dinner, we ended up giving them copies of the Book of Mormon and reading a little bit out of it. 



Qs
HOW’S THE NEW MISSION PRESIDENT??? 
He is really great, don't know him too well yet but they are very German, 4 kids. 2 boys, 2 girls. He is so nice, wants all his missionaries to be really happy but expects us to work hard so it'll be really good. 
How was your goodbye with President Alexander?? 
It was short the last goodbye was really at zone conference last week and it was actually pretty tough, it was hard because it was like saying goodbye to them and realizing ,y mission will be over so soon and it just hit me that day saying goodbye. 
Did he give you your exit interview? 
No we talked about trying to do one, but he was just so busy before he left.  I didn't want to put something else on him, they both said come visit them when I get to Utah though.
Or will the new one?
The new one will, idk when though
How is Sandra?
She is doing great, still progressing and looking to get baptized the week before so leave so that's really exciting. 
Did you have any investigators at church?
Ya sabrinas sister came and next week we should have quit a bit there!
Have you been doing the exercises Tim sent you?
 Ya they've been really good, it's been fun getting back into the drill work and stuff again. 

Love y'all
Love you mom!
Elder Morgan
