Hi everyone! What a great week! It was pretty dang busy, actually probably our busiest week since I have been here! With the 4th of July, transfers and all the other stuff going on it went by way too quick.
Transfers happened on Tuesday and I got Elder Talanoa back. It is just like old times. It has been nice to not have any awkward first couple days with a new companion because we already know each other so well. Couldn't think of a better companion for the last transfer!
4th of July was awesome! We started off with our ward's breakfast and I got to cook Aeblskivers! They are this little Danish pancake ball thing that are pretty good. This guy in our ward, who is super cool, apparently cooks them every 4th of July but was out of town, so he trained me how to make them. It turned out pretty well! Then we went to this park for a celebration for a little bit, then to a couple BBQs and got to watch some fireworks from our window in the house. It was a great day!

This week we got to teach the Weatherfords and Tristan again and they are both doing really well. Love them to death! We also helped out this part member family with some service around their yard and they are awesome! Things are going well in the area!
A definite highlight of the week was the baptism of Daunte! He is Frejia's cousin who lives with her down in Alamosa. Daunte sat through all the lessons that Frejia went through and he is so awesome! He turned 8 and has an aunt in Castle Rock so was baptized up here. So I was able to be a witness and stand in the confirmation and see a lot of people from the old area. It was so fun to see them all again. I was with Elder Nelson for most of the time down in the Valley. He is up here in my district, so it was awesome to see them with him here too.

So a couple nights ago we were riding back home on our bikes and are going down this good sized hill. Elder Talanoa was in front and thought that he missed the turn. So he slowed down and started to turn around and went right in front of me, so I slam on the brakes and skid into him at probably 25-30 miles per hour and did a front flip off my bike. I slid for a little bit and I saw my bike flying through the air and land 5 or 6 yards in front of me on the handle bars and seat. All I got was a small scrape on my elbow and no bike damage or anything. Elder Talanoa's back wheel got bent too. All things considered, we definitely had some angels watching out for us to come out with that little damage! Pretty cool!
Anyways hope everyone had a fun week!
Love,
Elder Morgan
Surprisingly this was only my second or third time seeing weed plants here in CO, so I asked if I could get a pic with it haha!
