HEY FAMILY!!

I´m sorry I don´t have a ton of time to write today, the computer took forever to load and then an investigator called me and that took a minute but hey, no worries because, even if i don´t have a chance to say everything I want to it´s alright. P-day comes again in 3 days. Yay!! Kind of crazy. can i just say, I hate late p-days? They just take too long to get here. But I did get to see a little bit of Cadiz today. That was fun. It´s a beautiful city and surrounded by ocean. Also by cats...I counted 50 as we were walking along looking down at the rocks by the ocean. There are a ton of strays in Spain. Everyone has a dog. but not very many people have cats, yet they are everywhere. It´s crazy. We didn't really see anything too exciting, just walked around. We tried to visit one place but there were 10 hermanas and some of them were really slow and we took too long to get there. but i was happy. This way we didn´t spend money, but still got to see a little bit of the city. I hope you guys get to see Cadiz one day. I was thinking, mom and dad would love it here.

Ok so i´m at this computer right, and the owners of the computer shop are from china, well their little boy is playing some shooting game on the computer and i look over and he is just shooting the heck out of this old guy. i don´t know why, but it cracked me up. ok, he just blasted away a chicken. ha ha

Zone conference was great! I loved it. I just felt spiritually edified. I loved what president talked about, i don't have my notes with me now so i can´t remember, all i know is that i felt really good, really happy. President called me the other day. It was Wednesday morning. He told me that we were going to be in a trio again. Yes, another trio. Crazy huh. Her name is Hermana Griotti. She is from Uraguay. That´s why i said my Spanish is about to improve, because she has already started teaching us how to speak better. So presidents talking to me, telling me how she is coming from the MTC in Madrid and how she will come home with us after zone conference and I´m thinking, yeah ok, this will be cool. then he says, "So that means you´ll be training." oh, didn´t put that one together. ha ha, so yeah, i´m training now. crazy huh. I´m not nervous at all. I´m glad I have hermana clegg with me for at least the rest of the transfer, because i think i would be freaking out otherwise. But Hermana Griotti seems really great. She is really quiet but really sweet. I am excited to get to know her better.

Thanks for telling me about Halloween. I was excited to hear about it. Kade is so dang cute. I bet that was so fun. What a cutie. I´m glad you got to have a Halloween party. Sharla is so fun. Our Halloween here was really fun. We took some really great pictures. I´m sorry I haven't sent the pictures i promised yet. They have been sitting on my desk with a pile of letters i need to send because i ran out of money last month and had to wait for this month to buy stamps. So no worries, they´re on their way soon. But i want to print off our Halloween pictures first. Your costumes were perfect. We totally used the teeth all day. Maria Jose got a kick out of it. The elders ward had a party and Cecilia and maria Jose both came with their kids. it was a really great night. I definitely missed you guys though. I am so excited to have our Halloween together next year. But honestly, I really enjoyed this one too. Holidays are fun here.

Oh, i was going to tell you. Spain puts olive oil on their food pyramid. Funny huh. So Obama huh. Well, i wasn´t happy but i wasn´t surprised. It will be interesting to see what happens. Maybe congress will vote down his tax idea. I guess the Lord knows what´s going on. We´re in his hands. I love that the church is getting involved in this thing in California. I think that´s great.

Well, i better run. I love you guys so much. You are awesome. I will have to send the recipes Monday because the 2 i wrote down are the Navajo tacos and Banana Chocolate chip cake cookies from the ward recipe book you sent me. the other two she already had. We have a missionary cookbook, and I just told her the ones i likes. I think she´s making a new book. So i´ll look those up and send them your way. How did that Bolivian food go. I hope it turned out ok. I wasn´t sure on the amount of spices. She just kind of threw them in. I made that tortellini salad the other day. Are you proud of me. I was proud. haha.

Alright, i better run. I love you guys so much. You are the best family in the world. I hope you are all doing great!!!! I´ll talk to you in a couple days!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Love ,
Morgan
