it is quite graphic. Movies don't do quite the justice as a real bullet entering a human chest. My favorite after a drug bust is the police interview and the humiliation of the criminals on natioinal TV. Maybe with Trump now the US might do that!!
We had several good baptisms as a district this week and we had them under a waterfall, it was pretty dope! The little girl I baptized didn't want to get near the waterfall though, haha.
I am happy, despite my afflictions on the mission. I have opened two areas, one brand new one old, I have trained 2 new missionaries which is very hard, helped establish one branch, been district leader, gotten very sick, thrown up on buses, diharea more days than not, parasites, food poisoning, and so on and so forth, including in general just being a missionary!! But I have learned that the absence of opposition is not joy, but instead joy is best found when we overcome obstacles and opposition by applying the atonement of Christ, and therefore coming to know Him.
So yes, I have struggles, so has He, yes I have sins, but He can take them away, yes I suffer, but He did too, He holds the key to joy in this life. This gospel, the church, priesthood, temples, ordainances, organizations, covenants, doctrines, etc, are all to more fully understand the atonement and utilize the Atonement in our lives.
With faith all things are possible. All sins taken away, and all pain can be replaced with joy and comfort. I am blessed to carry this message to the world. I have passed through these things and yet I still have 16 months to go!! I have grown so much and I am so excited to see what the next two thirds of my mission bring!! And what joy and growth I get to experience!!
My only wish is that all of you, especially those of my family and "adopted" family can come unto our Savior, which really includes all of you reading.
Love Elder Morrison
