Going back to where I came from...

Hey yall!

As the title entails I'm going back to the same zone that I started out in, so that will be cool. I'm not going to see the jungle again, as a missionary, but it is what it is. I knew I was going to be leaving but I was hoping I`d get one more chance at the jungle before I finish, but that`s pretty much guaranteed to not happen for whatever reason.

I hope everything is well with the family. I don`t know what to think about my change but all I can do is take it like a man and work hard. I am dissapointed but I am needed there for some reason, so I will do my very best.

Being in the mission is from another planet and as of yet do not understand really what they want from me at times. I pray that the mission will be easier for my children than it has been for me because they will be a lot more prepared for it than I was. It`s hard to believe but I have only 4 months left and I`m done.

I have changed so much and yet it seems like I have been away for only a short time. The mission truly is the hardest thing that I have ever done but it's the most significant thing I have done. I have a testimony that if we are obedient, have faith in the lord and ourselves and act upon that faith, we can do anything.

The lord has big plans for us as a family and all we have to do is live the gospel, knowing what the gospel isn`t enough. I challenge you all to do 5 things: Pray, Read the scriptures, Go to church, Dream big, and Plan for success, and you`ll have it!

Write me soon!

Love,

Elder Morton
