It's been a week! I know you're all dyyyying to hear about my new companion so I won't make you wait. Her name is Sister Case. Basically, she's a Disney Princess. She's like five foot even, sweet as can be, and an absolute angel. We've been getting to work hard this past week and I have never loved being sore more than every night when I go to sleep.
Okay so we almost died and it was so hilarious. We were walking down the street and ran into these two guys who were working on a demolition derby car that had already been through a derby. So it was basically torn to pieces, and they were trying to salvage what they could for the next event. They stopped to talk to us and we were having a good conversation and chatting it up when their sister/girlfriend/whoever came out to ask them a question. Apparently the guy got bored with the conversation because all of a sudden he took his massive sledgehammer and just started waling on the car with all his might. Chunks of metal went flying and we took that as our cue to leave. The girl standing next to us got drilled in the forehead by flying shrapnel. It was the weirdest way I've ever ended a conversation.
Then later that night, we were walking around in an unfamiliar neighborhood and Sister Case had to pee sooo bad. She said, "Right now my bladder is basically smushing my lungs because it's so full," so we went up to the first house that looked like someone would be home, and asked to use their bathroom. The old guy who answered the door laughed, shook his head, and said "No, you can't do that," and shut the door as Sister Case is doing the potty dance on his porch. I was dying laughing. She was so mad. Luckily we were able to find a bathroom just in time but she was so peeved. It was so hilarious.
To give you a glimpse of the area I'm working in, my sweet Bishop described it in the most perfect way possible. He said, "It's basically the redneck Baltimore." Absolute perfection. If you didn't know, Baltimore has one of the highest crime rates in all of America. So imagine Baltimore and West Virginia had a baby, and that's Cumberland for ya. They even have drive-thru windows for alcohol. It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
Anywho, I can't even begin to express to you how awesome it is to be here. I absolutely 1000% love it. I am so excited to be able to share this wonderful news! That we do have a Savior and that He can extend His mercy and love. Heavenly Father sends His angels to protect you and guide you and lift you up. You have hope and happiness available to you! These are powerful and wonderful things! Don't discount joy and faith! You have Heaven's help and all these gifts just a prayer away.
Doctrine and Covenants 103:36 "All victory and glory is brought to pass unto you through your diligence, faithfulness, and prayers of faith."
I love you all so very much. Continue trusting in Him!
Love, Sister Morrison
Onward and Upward!
