MREs, Cleaning, and Swimming Suits

Dear Reader,

Morgan's email came in two parts this week. There will be a break partway thought your reading, that is where one email ends and the other begins.

Dear Family,

     It has been a good week. We taught two first lessons.

     I'm glad you all had fun in Disneyland and that you were able to travel safely. We did spring cleaning this week and all the missionaries spent a day cleaning their apartment. Ours was pretty gross. There was hair everywhere and old food in all the cupboards. We even found some MREs, which I thought was weird; but, then Sis Fitzgerald reminded me that we are in the middle of a military city and it was a little less weird. There are 5 military bases in San Antonio and the Converse sisters used to cover one of them.

After this little note, another email came. It said:

     I was just going to send you that other email and call it good, but then I remembered that Sister Jones said I had to send good emails so my mom wouldn't stress out any more than she needs too. (Which is not at all.) As you may know, I have not gotten any mail in four weeks and emails are usually pretty small so I don't always know what to say in reply. I try to just tell you the exciting stuff that goes on in the week but sometimes the week is pretty slow.  I also kind of find it hard to see the point in writing when I never get letters, but I'll do my best anyway.

     It's getting hot in Texas. We walk out of the apartment and are instantly sticky. Actually, we're pretty sticky inside the apartment too because our ac went out this week. Not cool (literally). We see a lot of people out doing yard work in their swimming suits which just makes it seem hotter to those of us who dress in church clothes every day. August is going to kill me.

    We’re planning a trip to the zoo soon, and I am so excited. I love zoos!

     My personal studies this week have consisted of reading the April Ensign and it is so good. "The Atonement and the Journey ofMortality" is a really good talk. You should all read it. Preferably before conference. .........................

     Ok, so I guess maybe I'll hear from y’all next week. Hope everything is going awesome.

Ok, love you all.

Love,

Morgan
