Hey yall!

Oh yeah Alberto's B-day! Wish him a happy birthday for me! Man 28 he's old and so am I! Wow sounds like you need to self motivate yourself, because it's your life and it will be shorten if you keep on this path. I am glad to hear Brandon is going to church and Vic especially. They need the positive reinforcement that is provided by the church.

Wow things with Rob A have been pretty rough to ask him to move. I see he's back to his old ways. What type of changes are we talking about? He gave up on the business after a month? That's not the Rob A I know, that's beyond disappointing. Homeboy has turned into the Rob A that I lost touch with on purpose. I am amazed he went south so fast and easy with all the help that the business provides.

Don't worry about the birthday box situation I understand and I'm sure Alberto does too. We gotta visit Alberto when I get home as soon as possible. Laura is taking the lessons? That is great! Elder Mo is done this change, send him my best wishes in his return to earth!...LOL That lucky dog.

I burnt a DVD of 300 something photos and I have a few with Elder Rich and if you could send a copy to his mom that would be great! You should recieve it soon. I am super happy for James. It's about time that guy has things going his way. I guess my work here is doing some good there!

Please mom don't give up. You know what you have to do. JUST DO IT! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE! I know this to be true, and you only have 15 months to be platnums or I will regulate!

Love,

Elder Morton

Subject: Easter?! Whoa what happened there!

Hey Fam!

I forgot it was easter! They don't have Easter here they have Pascua!

I was so focused on the work here because to have success it's essential to work hard and in the midst of all that I forgot about Easter! It was last Sunday huh oh well I hope you guys had a good Easter.

Elder Mo has been there a while huh, how many months does he have in our ward?

Whoa thats crazy about the earthquake in Italy. At least the Minguzzis are ok. I too am praying that the economy gets better in the USA. I am pretty tan, pretty much like back in the day when I played all day outside and was very tan, because the sun here is HOT. The rain is a nice break.

Re: Semaj's wife, it's funny to me when people don't like pictures, I don't really get it. The next change is May 6th about three weeks away.

Rob A it seems is back to his old ways, and is no longer the calm guy who had a good relationship with God and was full of hope for his future. It's shame, but if one doesnt have a firm foundation in something worthwhile these things are bound to happen.

Send my best wishes to Jackie I sure hope the surgery goes well. Thats cool that she is engaged to Rodney, he's a nice guy.

Whoa GO KYLE! I am super pumped for him! He sure deserves it! Is that 7K PV or $7K? Either way I will bust my butt to get there I want it BAD!

I pray that this girl James is going with is a good one. I know things are hard there, but NEVER, NEVER, GIVE UP! If you keep up the good work it will pay off in the end and the end is near. When I get home we will tear it up, TEAM INA business is like none other so that we may have some peace and be able to help others enjoy the same. Were eating jungle food, and working really hard, I am talking to 10-20 new people EVERY DAY! How crazy is that? Gotta go.

I love you all!

Hey Y’all family and friends:

I received two boxes one of which had shampoo, calcium tabs, and shades, Simply Products. The other had three plastic bags full of protein powder, cookies, 2 boxes of cereal and STUFF FROM February 9th with pictures and all.

I still haven’t received that mystery card. So far I haven’t received that box with toothpaste but I bought some more recently so I should be good for a while.

Brandon has really grown up! Is he doing any sports or going to the gym? I hope so.
As for me I am growing up also. I am continually changing every day for the better. I am less lazy, and my view on life is more and more positive. I am working hard and beginning to be effective as a missionary which is crazy for those of you who know what I was like before around people I didn’t know! The only thing negative is that you guys wont recognize me when I get back. I am SKINNY, BALD, and BLONDE! I sent you guys a letter last week it should get there soon, enjoy! Let me know how my loved ones are such as Jimmie and all my crew.

Love you all,
Elder Morton

Elder Morton wrote in Spanish the first two paragraphs, that he has been pre-occupied with serving the lord and had neglected to write sooner.

Mom, Dad, Family & Friends:

I got your email Monday, March 23rd but after writing you my PC went down and I lost the entire message. I was unable to get back into my LDS mail.

Mom & Dad I want to congratulate you for finding time to attend church despite all the craziness of the adversary going on in your lives right now. Go as often as possible. I was sorry to hear you have to work Monday thru Sunday. I pray with Obama's new plan you can stop working on Sundays and resume going to church every Sunday possible. I know huge blessings are instore for you guys. I feel it. As long as you don't put the Lord on the back burner you will never lack, you willhave enough of what you need.

My trainer Elder Sanez should be getting in contact with you soon through email, phone, or something so now it won't be a surprise. He's a great guy and he is going to try to visit you guys sometime within a year so be ready for that. Don't worry he is crazy like the rest of usso you should have a lot of laughs. When possible I would like you to introduce him to the business, but don't jump on it right away. I talked to him about it and he is a 5% all the way, so when you sign him up it would be awesome if you could put him as my second leg.

On that note I hear things are hectic right now at the house and that James is planning on moving out or at least, thinking of doing so. I am speechless....good for him! I knew he could do it, he just needed a good enough reason I guess. I am sorry to hear about Annette. I pray things work out for her. It wouldn't hurt her to have the missionaries over and listen to the lessons, not only for her but Justin and Brandon. The faith, hope, and personal strength that living the gospel of Jesus Christ provides us is exactly what they lack and with those things in their lives they will be a whole lot happier.

How are you and Dad doing in general besides working so hard? How are Wally & Mike and the Morton ladies doing? Hanging in there I hope.

I would love it if you would send me photos of Semaj, China, & Zion Semaj! Semaj is such a good guy, I was a thoughtless, selfish kid and because of that I lost out on so many years as his friend, because in reality he is the only one I still know that was a buddy of mine since we were in diapers.

Take care of yourselves! You guys, working hard is good, but working smart is better! Use the business to win back time and freedom financially consistantly every day until you can say Ciao to both of your jobs and be much better off.

Please say Hi to all of my friends in the Rocklin 2nd & 6th Wards and tell Jimmie & Futaba, Kevin, and our family & friends such as Bill, Sue, and the Young Guns Hello from me.

I Love you all!

Elder Morton
