Hey yall!

I haven’t received the box with vitamins yet but I’ll get it soon. That’s cool that Dad went to the temple because it rocks! I hope you guys make some time once a month to go and do a session it’s worth it! Wow Robbie Cook gets home tomorrow?! How time flies by. I’m sure Robs return will be great for everyone! Man that Steve Reynolds. I hope he is doing well. The weather is changing all over and I plan on moving to the state that stole our weather when I get back!

My new comp is Elder Parizaca and he is from Cochabamba, Bolivia. He isn’t trunky like many of my previous companions and follows the rules so it’s a bit strange for me but I have to clean up my act a bit and be a good boy lol! The Michael Jackson shirt was cool! I like it. Yes, it’s hard for me to pray in English now. I can communicate in English when I speak with someone from the states but its weird talking to a Latino in English, it throws me off. It will be weird the making the transition and all when I get home but I will be fine. The good news is you can always study Italian and if you work the business enough you can go on vacations in Italy and you will get your Italian back in no time.

I'm sorry you have not seen Justin since Thanksgiving. He’s doing his thing which sadly enough doesn’t really include family and that needs to change sooner than later. At least everyone is getting along.

Yes I heard it's been snowing in Northern California and have seen pictures with a whole lot of snow in Utah...provecho!

The things that I need would be razors, protein bars, vitamins, toothpaste, white sox and whatever your heart desires! I am sending the CD today so you should get it soon.

Good for Chris! Education is really important but even more important is what you do with that education! The U.S.A. is full of opportunities for people who want to work hard and learn. Literally we can be and do what our heart desires and that’s a privilege that not everyone has. We need to take advantage of the blessings that God has given us and be grateful that we have been born where and when we have. On a missionary note we are working hard here in Lima. It’s a bit tougher to work in an area that you have basically contacted everyone and their grandma and they all know you and say no I am still not interested in "your church".

I have been here for 4 months now and I have made some great friends and when I go I will miss them a lot but I plan on making a come back with the family in a few years when I am an emerald in the business and I have a bit of freedom from "The man"= (9:00-5:00 JOB). Literally I have family here and I can’t wait for you guys to meet them. I know that you’ll get along great!

Can you believe that I will be home in 5 months? The time has gone by so fast I truly am amazed. I truly am a changed man and yet there is a whole lot more to learn. If I do the best job possible I know that the lord will bless you and me.

I thank you all for making it possible to serve a mission, I will never forget it and it will be a legacy truly great in the Morton family to have missionaries all over the world as representatives of the Lord Jesus Christ. This was all made possible by our family and friends. Thank you all. Keep the dream alive!

Love,

Elder Morton
