Howdy
Family.
So,
sorry about not writing you guys last week. I was at the Oregon Coast! It was
awesome! It was so nice to see the ocean. I have now been officially coast to
coast in the United States. I will be sending pictures soon. We went from
Pacific City all the way to Astoria. The sites and views on the coast were
beautiful. The Morris Family took us. Sister Morris works at the post office
and they had Monday off, due to Columbus Day, so a few weeks before they asked
us if we wanted to go to the Coast. We of course said yes. We have a rule that
missionaries can only go to the coast after October General Conference until
April General Conference...we went the first day we could! The Coast it about 2
hours away so we had to get permission, not just from our DL, ZL, but from
President Morby as well.
It
was cool because we went to Pacific City where there is this huge rock in the
ocean...we took some pictures so you'll be able to see it. That rock was
actually in the movie "The Goonies". We also went to the "Goonies"
house they were trying to save. It was funny because not only was it "The
Goonies House" but there was someone living in the house with a "Star
of David" flag and a "Mitt Romney" sign!
We
then went to Seaside and visited the ocean there too. Seaside is actually the
end of Lewis and Clarke's expedition, and Elder Bishop and I took a picture
there right next to the statue saying "This is the end" or something
like that.
We went to a few other places, but there are two more places I want
to talk about. We
first went to Ft. Stevens, the first place America was attacked after Pearl Harbor
by the Japanese. This military fort was cool. This structure was built on the
side of a hill in the early 1900's and was HUGE! I felt like this place would
be a CRAZY game of "Call of Duty" or a sweet game of paintball. It
was really neat.
We then went to Astoria where there is this "column that
you go up 164(or so) stairs that leads to the look out. The Astoria Column was
already on the top of the hill. We could see FOREVER! It was cool because
Astoria is where the Columbia River hits the Pacific Ocean. I have pictures
that I'll give to you of that as well.
We
have had the longest "dry spell" in Oregon in a LONG TIME. But it is
over now. It's raining and its awesome! I almost missed the rain. ALMOST, but
not quite. I am super grateful we are in a car though. It makes rain a lot
easier to handle.
Right
now though, I think I got the Flu. I think I got it yesterday. Yesterday I got
a sore throat, a headache, dizziness and so on. Right now I am feeling the same
way. Today I have been trying to take it easy, but we had to go to downtown
Portland, walk around, take the max back home, go run errands, email and such.
Even though I don't want to, I think I am going to take it very easy tomorrow.
We have some lessons but I night have Elder Bishop go on splits with one of the
men in our ward.
Today
is transfers so that marks 13 months (and 1 day) as missionary for The Church
Of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!
All
is well.
Thank
you for praying for a few of my investigators a few weeks ago. I know that
helped.
Love,
Elder
Trevor A. Morgan
