Miracles can happen!

Hey yall!

That’s cool about the box I’m sure I’ll get it soon. Wow! James is reading the bible....I think the world is coming to an end! LOL! I’m happy to hear that he is taking an interest in things a little bit more profound than the norm and it is good to hear things are better between you & your children, I know they mean a lot to you.

I don’t think you’ll want to be close to my children. I think they will be like I was but the good news is that they have a chance of turning out alright because at least they will have the gospel in their lives from the beginning. So I am the favorite....don’t tell the others! If my life is going to be easier it's because when you follow the commandments you receive blessings if not then there is nothing guaranteed. I too hope I get a great woman because I will need one to keep me in check! I have a lot of goals I want to accomplish so that I can leave a admirable legacy but it will require busting my butt spiritually and temporally. With that considered I will need a strong woman with high priorities and a strong testimony so that I don’t veer off on the wrong course. If Wally and Jennifer move to Utah maybe they will become Mormons like us one day! That would be funny if we all moved to Utah, who knows?! I hope you guys retire like Wade and Terri Simmons and not like Jeff.

Tell Chris to keep on studying and working hard, it will pay off in the long run. That’s a shame that Matt let James go but well he’s Italian and we know what he’s all about. I hope things work out better for you all financially but as we all know that requires working smart and having a lot of faith. You can do it because I know God had big plans for you, the trick is believing you can be more as Wade Simmons says. Vic and his girlfriend.....wow all I can say is I pray the best for them! It won’t be easy or pretty but as children of God were capable of anything. Vic and Chris are getting old, and fat! LOL! Who would have known?!

That would be cool if Alberto could be there for Justin’s pot luck. Justin may be immature but it's better to mature on your own than be forced into it like you were. It goes without saying I look forward to going home as well but I too have a lot of growing to do. I know that God has big plans for me here and I am so grateful for this opportunity to be a missionary. It has changed my life forever. I have been blessed to start a new trend in the Morton family and its a good one.

Thank you Mom for your support and the same goes for the whole family.

Love,

Elder Morton

1st Letter From Elder Morton from Lima, Peru, 08.27.08

Hey Mom & Dad,
I have reached my mission home in Lima, Peru and the President and his wife are great!
The Elders are nice & my companion is a good guy from what I hear.
All of your packages made it to the mission home. When I get to my area I will see which ones came. I will write you to confirm. I may or may not email you today but if I can I will. So far so good, I am alive and well.
I am excited to teach the gospel to develop a stronger relationship of Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father. It will be hard but I knew that to begin with.
The most important thing is that I concentrate on becoming the best missionary that I can be, so that you all will be blessed spiritually, & temporally, as our faith is tested.
I love you guys and pray for you every day. I know no matter if we work hard with our eyes set on eternal salvation things will work out for the best.
Never give up!
Love,
Rob
