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
