Below each picture is her own description of what it is (with a little editing help!). So enjoy! Also this week Kara is becoming senior companion. Her new companion is Hermana Norton from Utah and she has only been out for 4 months so we will see what happens.

Pneumonia

I know it is weird to see a picture of ribs but this is a picture of Kara's X-Ray she had taken. Kara sent us an email that said she has pneumonia and that she was placed on bed rest for the week to recover. She says she feels like a bad missionary having to stay home however she says she has no energy so it is probably for the best. She is doing breathing treatments along with humidification and antibiotics. So she should be on the mend soon. Since Kara is feeling down there are no pictures this week but expect them next week :)

PICTURES!! Part 1

So guess what Kara finally got my packages and so that means we now can enjoy some pictures. So just as a warning she has a lot! So enjoy and there will be more to come next week :) Oh and if you want to look at the pictures in the right order start from the bottom and go up. I downloaded them the way she sent them but they upload the other way.

This was my bomb district on our last meeting together. We lived far away from each other our district leader was 1 hour from us and the others are 2 hours away. We always met in the middle and traveled 1 hour every week to the meetings.
This was my house in San Pedro. I lived with my mom Hermana Pippia that is sitting next to me. My comp Hermana Guzman and Hermans Zaveleta. It was the bomb I learned tons of Spanish!

Getting Up to Date

It has been a while since you have seen what Sister Morris is up to and I apologize it seems the two of us have been busy, me at home in the states and Kara on her mission. Also Kara's camera was stolen so I had to send her a new one to get some pictures to post. Which she can't send until she gets my second package with the camera cord :) Oh the joys of international mail! So let me get you up to date on Kara's coming and goings.

November/December 2010:

Kara sent me a brief description of her last three companions. Her is what she said about the one she had over the holidays:

"My first comp in San Pedro was Hermana Gaitan from Argentina. I was with her for six weeks from right before Thanksgiving up until right after Christmas. I learned a lot! She made me do everything start the lessons, pick what we were going to teach to people, everything. And she was a fireball sometimes she would just blow up and I would just laugh at her. I loved her to death! I grew the most in my transfer with her."

If I recall Kara said this transfer was so difficult because she could only speak Spanish because her companion only knew Spanish. So it was in this transfer that she really mastered the Spanish language. Kara was also able to call home on Christmas Day and talk to all of her brothers and sisters and her mom. It was a great day and it was great to hear her doing so well. By Christmas her Spanish was so well that she was talking both Spanish and English on the phone and only Spanish to her brothers since they both severed Spanish speaking missions.

January 2011:

Kara started out the New Year with a new companion here is what she said about her:

"Hermana Guzman was my comp from Chile she was the bomb. It was hard at first cause we were both so use to doing everything and our companions just saying yes. I was not senior comp she was so she just did what she wanted. But we figured it out we worked together in unity. She worked different then I would have liked but the mission is all about making adjustments for your companion."

She stayed with Hermana Guzman for about 6 weeks and then she got a new companion last week.

February 2011:

So Kara started last week in a new area and with a new companion. Here is what she said:

"I'm in my new area.. guess where?? SALTA wear I told you 3 weeks ago I never wanted to serve hahaha. But it had two elders here before and now 4 Hermanas so we are opening up the area. My companion is a Latin and she is from Argentina this is my 3rd Argentine. She is super nervous because she has never opened up an area before. But I am excited because I was getting so bored I wanted a new adventure.

Guess what? I live with my step-mom Hermana Castillo!!! She is my favorite comp ever! I'm so excited. We are in the same ward but have different comps. She is opening up one part of the ward and I am opening up the other. I am going to learn so much!!!"


Kara is continuing to learn and grow on her mission. And now you know she is still working hard. I will post more when I know more. And hopefully she will get the camera cord so we can have some pictures to enjoy.

Good Bye Photos

On the left is my convert Edwardo and on the right my convert Martin and the boy will soon be baptized his name is Gabriel were working with his dad first.

This is the photo of my amazing ward they helped me so much I am so glad I had 6 months with them

This is Ana she is a member and she is the bomb I love her. And I want her to come live in the states with me. She want to serve a mission but she is only 18. I don't think she is going to make it on a mission some man is going to come and snatch her away she is awesome.
On the left is my x mission leader he was always so patient with me from the first week I got here. He served a mission in Bolivia and is genius in the gospel. Next is our investigator Luis he will be baptized soon he knows the gospel is true its just a matter of time. Next is Oracio he is a bomb member he always helps us with our lessons. Then in the middle is my convert Ariel he was the one that was on drugs hardcore but he is clean now and he has a million friends in the church. Then we have Ana another awesome member. And then me and then Jose our new mission leader. He put together all of our baptisms and loved every second of it.
This is a picture of me and my investigator he is getting baptized on Saturday but I won't be there cause I am here. But it's ok i have a baptism here as well. If any of you are wondering yes that is his hand around my waist. Talk about awkward! haha!! my comp made fun of me forever for that one.
My dream one day is to own a motorcycle they have them everywhere here. So we took a picture of this dream :). To the left Ids Fabian he is in the bishopric and the young men president he is the bomb. On the right is Patchy we eat lunch with him and his family every Sunday he very funny and his family knows how to play the guitar.
Me and my companion Hermana Castillo our last full day together she is the bomb she really is.
This is the family we eat with every Sunday. My last day we just sang and played the guitar for hours it was bomb. One day I will come back and visit them. The grandma the one I am sitting next to said when I get off my mission I can come back and marry any one of her grandsons. haha :) she was always so funny about that!
This is one of my converts family's the dog that the little boy is holding is named Shayla for my middle name. They are a darling family and the gospel has changed there life so much.

Fils Vera what can I say Hermano Vera is blind but he is the happiest person I know. And Hermana Vera I think would make a really good Gertrude Mcfuzz she loves to wear purple.

Transfer Changes

Kara was recently transferred to a new area. She spent the first six months of her mission in the same area so it will be a good change for her.
Here is what she had to say: Now I have a new comp and I'm in San Pedro. She is a Latin and her name is Hermana Gaitan. And she doesn't speak english. I'm learning a lot of Spanish because I live with all Latins now. It has only been one day and my brain is so so tired. But I learned a lot of new words. My pension (house) is huge. We have a baptism on Saturday so that is exciting. We live in the middle of nowhere. But my old comp use to live in my pension and her members always came and visted her. So I know the members of the other branch but we will see about mine. It's going to be fun I know it :)

Last Pictures Before Transfer

Its me and my companion buying stuff at chango mas (there so called Walmart) to make gorilla turds (no bake cookies)


These are our shutters. It was really windy one day and I wasn't paying attention cause I was so into my studies but our shutters were blowing back and forth. And then all the sudden I heard this big loud bang they had fallen off the hinges and fell two stories. They shattered into pieces and we decided it would be fun to put it back together even though we have no idea how. We fixed two of them and can't figure out the third and have yet to hang them up even though they feel 2 weeks ago haha the life of a missionary.
So my zone leaders call me a penguin cause one day we were eating ice cream on p-day and they kept saying paloma. I thought they were calling me one so I turned to my comp and said what is a paloma cause they keep calling me one. For all you that don't know its a penguin or a dove now they call me a penguin. And on Thursday I received bird food from them they so funny! So we made bird feeders and hung them outside our house it was way fun.
Our washer broke we thought there was a gas leak cause it smelt so bad but it was just our washer. We didn't have money to buy a new one so are zone leaders did. And one day they will get reimbursed.
Edwardo got baptized about two weeks ago he is the son of Carmen my first convert and the brother of another convert martin. I was so happy for him his dad died and he said that in a dream his dad came to him and told him to be baptized so he was. He is 12 years old and he calls me fat all the time and says I should go running he is really funny, like I would ever run!

Karina got baptized on Saturday she is the mother of Anahi she got baptized a month ago but Karina has had a tough life and her husband cheats on her with lots of other women but she has found happiness and wants to start a new life with her kids. I'm so happy for her :)

Ana is a member I love her so much she comes to all our activities!!
