Hola Familia!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Wow, when I think things can't get any crazier they do! Crazy not in a bad way so don't worry, but its a constant roller coasterthat I'm on called a "Mission."

First things first the work here is good, but my companion Elder Saenz was sent some where else because my current companion Elder Garnica was having problems; so the fun is over for me. No worries though he seems like a good kid. Home boy speaks no English so I have no choice but to talk more in Spanish than I had to before. Plus I've been in this area for almost 10 weeks so I have to show him the ropes, it's all good. I can't believe its November already! On that note on my P-day (personal day) which is Monday Iwill send those pictures Mom wanted. Consider it a huge birthday from Peru! That's really all I can send for now. There are probably 150 photos.

As of today I have received two boxes: one with my suit,& black slacks, garments, & goodies. The other box had protein powder, cookies, protein bars, orange stuff for my water, shaving cream, shampoo, cold medicine, & razors. Thank you Mom, You Rock! But I must say again, please be careful with your finances, especially with things with the economy being "iffy" to nice. I don't want you guys to have a harder time finacially because your're sending me a bunch of stuff, than when I was home helping you out with the mortgage. The reason I always ask about the business and how it is going is because if you are consistent you will be able to enjoy the fuits of your labor sooner than later, and that would make me so very happy to know that while I am here blessing the lives of others, through preaching the gospel you are home not only blessing the lives of others through the business but having your lives blessed financially as a reward for your hard work. I Love You guys even though you are kind of crazy :-) I really feel as though I have the best family in the world.

I pray for you guys at least 5 times a day so I know that some good will come of my efforts for you guys. God Loves Us. I know this to be true. If we do what we are supposed to do like following the Commandments, working hard, staying positive, good things will happen because God wants us to be happy. I have seen so many mircles and changes of heart that I can not deny the fact that God is working hard also that the devil too is working hard, so we must Pray and Pray often if we expect to win this marathon we call Life. As of today we have baptized 12 people and if everything goes well tonight it will be 18! The Church is true, even down here! Much Love for you all and I can't wait to hear from you all!

Love,

Elder Morton
