About Me

Hi I'm Elder Morgan

I am a bagpiper. I am a missionary serving in Hungary. I'm a Mormon.

ABOUT ME

I'm a kid from the heartland of America. I am an eagle scout. I was home schooled while in high school. I love playing my bagpipes and learning about my British heritage. I love reading about science and about how our wonderful world works. I want to study mechanical engineering at Brigham Young University, and I have a dream of being a NASA aerospace engineer one day.

WHY I AM A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

I was born to Latter-day Saint parents, but this in no way means that I was born with a testimony of this church. like every member of this church that I've had my own personal conversion journey. I've chosen for myself to be a member of this church because of how it makes me feel. Because of my knowledge of the gospel and because of impressions from the Holy Spirit that I have felt so much joy and peace. I have felt the love of my savior and of my father in heaven. I have come to know who I am, why I am here, and what my purpose in this life is. I have a testimony that this is the true church. I know that there is a prophet on the earth today named Thomas S. Monson. I know that he holds the Holy priesthood as restored through the prophet Joseph Smith. I know that Joseph Smith translated the Book of Mormon through the power of God. The book of Mormon is very important to me. I have learned more about Jesus Christ by studying it than by any other source. I know Jesus Christ is my savior. Because I have a testimony of these things, I have confidence in this ever confusing world. I have confidence in who I am and what I need to do to return home to my father in heaven. This is why I am a Latter-day Saint.

#11 Buda: The Nebraska Connection

I've been pretty sick this week, again, I've had a couple different colds over the last several weeks. The one I have now is really really really mean! Because I am a missionary I don't have very much time to rest so I haven't gotten much better. Today I'm going to call my mom and complain to her about being sick, just kidding. All the senior couples in the office are giving me suggestions to help me get better which is kind of interesting. (Ted was drinking a fresh ginger root tea when we were on our video call with him, apparently one of the suggestions of the senior couples.) Despite being sick, this week was pretty awesome! We had an exchange with the Zone leaders in Dunaújváros this week. Elder Jameson and I worked on companionship unity and teaching lesson 4. We found a few new investigators, and taught a returning member the word of wisdom. It was probably the best day of my year so far, mainly because Elder Jameson is awesome, and I got to be outside doi

#2 Pest: Lo Kolbász! (horse sausage)

Horse Sausage Yup, I bought horse sausage today! Welcome to Hungary. We did get food poisoning this week, but not from the horse sausage. We were poisoned after eating a meal we ate at a new members home this week. Fun times! It’s all part of missionary work. We ran out of food yesterday, so I dipped into my food supply from my care package and we made the Bear Creek Jambalaya from my last care package and we LOVED it. We definitely want more of that kind of thing in the next care package. I'm doing good, but it's been a crazy week, we have been just working and talking to people like crazy. It's been a little frustrating because tones of people have been "dogging" our appointments but its okay because it's just part of missionary work! Speaking of a missionary work... What's in a Missionary's Life? Here's a fun description of a day in the life of a Mormon Missionary, from my companion Elder Fales: https://drive.google.

#4 Nyíregyháza: Debrecen is a Cool City

This week sort of flew by. The miracle of this week was for sure our lesson with Zoltán. He became a new investigator last week, but this week we had our first real lesson with him. We did a lot of good and taught him about the Book of Mormon and how to get a testimony of spiritual things. He is a very religious man and he said that he is a real truth seeker and wants to know if what we have is true. At the end of the lesson he was asking us about how to repent because he said that it’s hard to learn about it in the bible. We told him that he will find answers to his questions, as he reads the Book of Mormon, prays, meets with us and comes to church. I hope tomorrow’s lesson goes well. A lot of our investigator lessons fell through this week, so we did a lot of look ups and meeting with members. We shared messages about how we can use the blessings of the gospel in our lives to invite people to partake of the fruits of the gospel. I guess you could say it was the “come and see”
