Hey all!

Another week survived, another week of wacky experiences, another awesome baptism! Thats 15 people total who have excepted the gospel and took the plunge....literally! This month has been slow as far as baptisms go and people with baptismal dates, but the adversary sometimes gets his 2 cents in. We have had three baptisms for November as of the 23rd but the good news is we have more in line for this upcoming weekend!

On another note I have had a few firsts. One was my first religious fight with a boyfriend of one of our investigators. That was ugly because I am at the point to where I am understanding about 90% of what the people are saying and able to, with much delay respond, but not fast enough for a doctrinal fight.

Also this morning was my first dream in SPANISH! Por fin! It was a funny one ofcourse. Man I really have changed my train of thought for the better in these 5 months or so. My faith has come so far from where it was, but as our knowledge grows we realize how little we really know.

How is everyone doing? I pray that you all are perserviering over the economic situation and health issues. Time is flying by for me, which is a blessing because I love and miss you all.

Whats Rob A up to these days? Is he a workaholic or has he found a good, healthy balance? Whats my nephews and nieces up to? Are my brothers and sisters keeping their noses clean or they still as crazy as when I left? Keep on kepin all folks, there is more to life than being born, passing the time away and then dying and becoming worm food.

Anything new in California besides the economy sucking? Is Obama the President or was he really born in a different country? How are Bill and Sue, and The Young Guns? Please give a shout out to my team, and my homies in the Rocklin 2nd and Rocklin 6th wards!

Happy early Birthday to Annette, I hope it is a good one! Whats Jimmie and Futaba up to? Working hard I have no doubt. Whats going down with Semaj, Revonda, Joyce, and our Bay Area click? Dad and you still hanging in there? James still a hermit? Anyone else that I didn't mention it's because I don't have much time left and I am losing my mind faster than the hair on my head! (Which is fast!)

Love you all,

Elder Morton
