Week 52: One Year!!!

August 7, 2017

    This week has been awesome! I I'll have been out for a year on the 10th!! Isn't that crazy!? I can't believe it, it has gone by so fast already. This week was a little slow though because Elder Nelson got pretty sick so we had a few days in where we didn't do much. 

     We started off the week with a text from Ali saying that she couldn't meet with us anymore because she talked to her grandparents and thy din't want her too! So that was a bummer and then almost all of our other investigators have said they don't want to meet anymore as well so we have one person we are teaching that is sort of progressing haha. That is alright though because now we have enough time to go and find some awesome, prepared people to teach. Whatever happens it is in the Lord's hands so it will turn out fine.   

     One awesome thing that happened this week is that Caleb is back in town! He is a recently returned missionary whose parents are in our ward. He was here about 2 months ago and he came to a lot of appointments with us and he is just awesome! So he came back for a few weeks until he goes back to school. 

    On Saturday we were able to go on exchanges with the assistants to the President and that was really good! I went with Elder Boatman and he is such a great guy! it was cool because we were driving back from lunch and saw this big thing going on in the park and decided to go talk to people there and it turned out to be a BBQ competition! So we got to go around and hand out copies of the Book of Mormon and try people's BBQ. That was pretty cool and we were able to have some good conversations. 

    Other than that nothing too exciting happened, just trying to expand our teaching pool and find the elect of God! Hope everyone has a great week!

Love, 
Elder Morgan

CAN YOU BELIEVE I HAVE BEEN OUT FOR A YEAR!!!??? I was probably getting set apart and packed by this time last year. I am really excited to be able to do all the stuff that you do when you have been out for a year like:
  • Reading my journal of everyday from the year before
  • Saying I get home in August instead of next august
  • Saying I have a a certain amount of months left instead of saying I have been out for this many
  • Making fun of all the noobs who just got here
  • Being on the downhill
Man it is going to be awesome! I have heard from so many people that it goes faster when you hit the year mark and that is just sick. I also found out today in President's email that he is going to try and keep people in the same area for 6-8 months at a time, that is so long!! I really liked being in my areas for 3 months so that was a bit of a bummer but it will still be good. 

Jonah is also super excited to go on his Temple Jubilee, where he gets to go to the Temple in Denver Colorado for the day to celebrate his 1-year mark!
