Hey Fam!

We have been working it for the past week and are begining to see some positive results from the three weeks of pounding the pavement/ sand. The people here are more catholic than our family was and they aren't even Italian!

Today I had the pleasure of lifting weights for the first time in 7 months! Its cool because it costs $1.50 soles per hour so if I use the gym (which literally is around the corner from us) twice per week its only $3 soles per week! Boy am I weak! My bench plumeted about 100lbs but it's all good.

On a spiritual note we have 4 baptisms scheduled for this saterday so if all goes well we can end this month with 4 baptisms which considering what we had to begin with its a victory for the big guy! My companion reminds me of my brother Jeff so needless to say I am on my best behavior and I pray A LOT!

This is the mission, to adjust to new people, things, and places. I am getting to the point to where I actually like the day to day challenges that we must overcome, not quite there but close. Pray for our investigators they need it because the advesary really works hard on these people leading up to important things such as attending church, and showing up for their baptisms.

So how is the family? Things must be pretty busy because you forgot to write this week. So write me when you can and let me know how everything is going, and I will read it next week.

Love you all and talk to you soon.

Love,

Elder Morton
