Elder Morrow

We love our missionary...and we love having a missionary! We definitely feel the blessings daily of having our son out serving the Lord.

His letters every week are the highlight of our week. To hear how his testimony is growing as well the life lessons he's learning is the best thing in the world. Missions are not easy, nor are they fun all the time, but the tender mercies they see in their lives daily make it all worth while. He often says that these won't necessarily be the best two years OF his life, but they will definitely be the best two years FOR his life! :) 

He loves Ron, who was the first baptism he participated in out in North Carolina. Elder Thurber, his companion on the left in this picture went home at the end of March and Elder Standefer on the right (and his companion) still shares a house with Bryson and his companion. Bryson loves Elder Standefer and I feel like that is one of those friendships made in the mission field that will be lifelong.

 I don't know the names of this family but apparently they are a very supportive family and very good to the missionaries out there. I'm grateful for them!

 This is Bryson's 2nd companion Elder Poulson and he thinks he is awesome as well. He has really been blessed with great companions so far.

 Steven, the father on the left, asked Bryson to baptize him in the river. (I love that Ron is there for this baptism as well.)

 It was VERY cold and Bryson said they had a hard time finding a good place to stand...they eventually found two large rocks they could each stand on.

 Bryson also had the opportunity to baptize this cute 10 year old named Beau. Bryson loves him!

We are so grateful for the opportunity he has to serve a mission and assist the Lord in changing lives!
