Hey Mom and Family!

So here is the update. I have recieved the packages with beef jerkey and toothpaste and protein bars and all that good stuff, you're a life saver mom!

For some fun facts our baptism count is at [8] 5 last month and 3 this month with 2 more scheduled for this upcoming weekend! The work rocks, the food is literally like playing Russian roulette but all is good in the hood! I will be here until about November 19th or so?

I am still with Elder Saenz my trainer. He is kind of crazy but a great missionary! I am learning a whole lot from him and excited for you to do business with him because he is sharp and motivated to succeed.

On a funny note out of all the girls who promised to write me, Camie is the only one so far who has lived up to the hype, besides Mom LOL! It's all good I don't really have time to worry about whats not happening because what is happening is that I am becoming a MAN. The man God intended for me to be and if I didn't go on a mission it probably would have never happened. So for those who are worried about the Jungle it will have to wait till mid November at least!. How is everyone up in Auburn and Roseville? Please let them know I am thinking of them!

I am taking pictures when I can but there isn't much opportunity to take pictures considering we are working pretty much 7 days a week, but I sneak a photo in here and there!

I have recieved to the best of my knowledge ALL the packages Mom sent even though our
zone leaders don't get a chance to get them to us as fast as I would like. What matters is that the mission office gets them within 2-3 weeks usually. That's all I can think of as of now.

If there are any other questions I have not answered sufficiently don't hesitate to e-mail me or write me snail mail and I will get back to you!

Love you all!

Elder Morton
