Week 11 - Crazy fast week

PDay hike

Hola familia!

First off I love all of you so much!! I miss you and think about you.

This week flew by! This week some crazy things happened!

Elder Morgan at Burger King - Yum!

First off, on PDay last week we went to Burger King!! A little American food, yummy yummy.  I seriously stuffed myself. 2 burgers, fries, chicken strips, and 3 sodas. haha. Coupons! We also went to Walmart to find Elder Portillo space bags!

This week I found a tooth in the road. Like a whole tooth, with root and all. I thought of Dave :)

There was this loco guy at church this week that got baptized like 3 years ago but now is doing like hard drugs and his brain is fried. He wears like 5 pairs of shirts and pants and talks to himself in English.

This week we had a zone conference! It was so great. We learned a whole ton! President Carreon and Sister Carreon are the best!!! I love them so much! President Carreon tells me that I look like Superman, haha. He also in front of the whole conference told me, "man, we brought a whole bunch of packages for you Elder, your family must love you!" haha They do!!! and I love them too! Keep 'em coming! haha. I also was picked as 1 of 4 people to go in front of all the zone and teach a lesson! Of course it was on a topic that I'm sometimes shaky on! But it went well. I was the only one up there to have been out less then like 3 months! haha.

I also gave a talk in church this week on the work of salvation! It was awesome. I hope that I inspired the ward members to share the gospel. Because members play such a huge role in this work!!!

Also, we had the humbling experience this week of helping an elderly man in our ward who is crippled bathe himself. We gave him a bath. It was very humbling and all I could think of was how The Savior, the greatest man to ever live, washed the feet of His disciples. I literally teared up afterwards. It was such a great way to serve and makes me feel so blessed for all I have.

Thanks for the packages everyone! I got Mom's and Amber's!!! Woot woot. I have enough candy for the rest of the mission! I love you guys!

Elder Portillo, Elder Morgan, Elder Wood (on PDay of course)

Elder Wood and I also got to go around solo this week a little bit while Elder Portillio had to do an interview with someone else. It went well and we placed 3 baptismal dates haha. We're doing well with the help of The Spirit and gifts of tongues.

Thank you everyone for everything.

Funny story of the week: Elder Wood was dumping out a bucket where the old man who is crippled uses the bathroom, and Elder Wood got poop all over his pants and shoes. :)

I know that this church is true. That we have all the things that we need to return to live with a loving Heavenly Father again! I love you all and hope all of you are reading your scriptures, praying, and going to church. These things are essential to our progression and growth of our faith!


Love you,

Elder Morgan
