Week 91 - Sheridan Morgan is a great person.

Family!!!

Love you!!!!!!

This week was good. We were pretty busy, but it went well. 

We finally found out about our Ward mission leader. He had just dropped off the face of the planet, but he finally got a hold of us. Supposedly, some cops here pulled him over for not having his seat belt on, even though he did have it on. After first trying to get 400 pesos out of him, they decided to take him to jail because his car wasn't registered here in Mexico. After 9 days in jail and multiple attempts at trying to charge him for contraband and smuggling, he was finally released. He ended up with a bunch of skin problems from the dirty sheets they have in jail. Basically, that's the Mexican government for you. 

This week we helped out with a ward baptism of an 8 year old. It went well. 

We have been finding some pretty great new investigators and it seems that they are progressing really well. I am enjoying the mission a lot right now and trying not to think about going home even though it seems that every week the family wants to remind me about it! haha. 

Love you all! I know that this church is true. :)

PS - we have received Elder Morgan's return flight information.  He will be coming home 10/27/2015.  :-)

Week 90 - Smoke and Mirrors

Family!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you!!!!!!!

So..... I have no idea how to title these emails anymore, so I've decided to just put random titles that I think would be cool. 

This week was good! Elder Alegria and I are working hard. This week we also had our leadership council. I am now officially the Elder with the most time here as Zone Leader. Everyone is so young. I can't believe that I've been going to those meetings for over a year! Time flies so fast. 

We also had a baptism this week! Gabriela got baptized! Woooooo!!!!!  Gabriela has been my goal for this area! When I met her, I thought, "I need to help this sister get baptized!" There were a lot of ups and downs, but she has made a complete 180 turn in her life. One of the things that she changed was her addiction to Smoking! She quit smoking after 30 years!!!!!!!!! Woo!!! She was so happy the day of her baptism that she was dancing around in the chapel dressed in white! haha. She's probably been one of the most difficult investigators that I've had, but also one of the most memorable! 

Anyways, that's the news for this week. Things are pretty normal here. 

I know that this Church is true. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God. The Book of Mormon will change our lives if we let it! 

Love, 

Elder Morgan

Week 89 - And our special guest is......

Family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you all so much! For reals. A lot. A ton. A bunch.

This week was pretty good. 

We had our meeting with the Stake President and the Mission President. it went well. We gave a monthly report on the zone and talked about what we can do to be way better. 

This week we also found some great new investigators. People that really want to grow closer to their Father in Heaven. 

There were also transfers! Elder Canche went over to another zone and Elder Alegria (which means happiness in Spanish) is my new companion. He really is pretty happy! I'm excited to work him. The whole zone has been completely changed! Only 6 of the 18 of us are still here in the zone. Almost everyone is either opening up a new area, training, or has a new position in the mission. It should be interesting to see how everything goes, but I know that The Lord sometimes works in mysterious ways!!!!

NOW FOR THE MOST EXCITING NEWS......

This week, Elder Smalley called me (that's normal). The first thing he said to me was, "You need to get down here right now." I go, "Why? What's wrong?" .... "Just get down here. I'm going to pass the phone to someone so you can talk to them..." 

At this point I thought that I was going to start talking to some extortionist or kidnapper. Then this voice comes on the line and says, "Hi Elder Morgan, do you know who this is?" I had no clue. He said, "Who was your companion when you were in a trio with Elder Guzman." Then it hit me.... I recognized the voice.....ELDER SANDBERG!!!!!!  He came back to visit TJ. Anyways, I got to meet up with him a few hours later!!!! It was so great to see him. He's doing well and had come down to San Diego for the wedding of another RM from this mission. It was so great to see him. The first thing I did when I saw him was give him a big hug and then punch him because he promised he would write me and never did. 

Sandberg and Morgan

Anyways, That was my week! Looking forward to what the future has in store!
