Letter From Elder Morton, 12-15-08

Subject: Givin it to the man!
Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2008 15:28:15 +0000

Hey Family and friends!

First off I recieved two more packages at our Chrismas lunch on Thursday and it had Elder Saenz and my presents thank you Mom, Dad, Annette, Justin, Brandon. Also I have a year supply of protein stuff which is cool! It was really cool to get a card and gifts from those who I love. Also I heard from some Elders in my district that there is a BIG package at the office waiting for me.

Also I recieved a package from the Gibsons with a nice card and goodies, so Please thank them for me, it was very nice of them.

Chris and Vic are old men now 19 and 20! Man Brandon is driving all by himself WATCH OUT! Wow 20 and still doesnt drive what's the deal? Mom and Dad yall are working hard, keep up the good work! Still working THE BUSINESS right? Christmas is a great time of year, full of surprises!

It took a while but I am actually not completely incompetent at making contacts on the street and knocking doors! MY Spanish is coming along and yesterday I gave my first talk in Spanish where I didn't spend half the time in silence! I am really staring to understand these people and as of now its a bit of a culture shock because I am in a super poor area so their way of thinking is a world away from the way it is in our family. Needless to say if Jeff and James spoke Castillano Spanish they would fit right in!

I guess I am ready for change. Despite all that I am working hard because I have a long way to go before I can honestly feel as though I am really good missionary. My God and my Family deserve the best of me, so thats what I am going to give. I am going o try to answer your other two emails real fast.

Love,

Elder Morton

1st Letter From Elder Morton from Lima, Peru, 08.27.08

Hey Mom & Dad,
I have reached my mission home in Lima, Peru and the President and his wife are great!
The Elders are nice & my companion is a good guy from what I hear.
All of your packages made it to the mission home. When I get to my area I will see which ones came. I will write you to confirm. I may or may not email you today but if I can I will. So far so good, I am alive and well.
I am excited to teach the gospel to develop a stronger relationship of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. It will be hard but I knew that to begin with.
The most important thing is that I concentrate on becoming the best missionary that I can be, so that you all will be blessed spiritually, & temporally, as our faith is tested.
I love you guys and pray for you every day. I know no matter if we work hard with our eyes set on eternal salvation things will work out for the best.
Never give up!
Love,
Rob
Elder Morton
