Hey y'all!
It's the sad truth, I will be 27 tomorrow....Wow, I am catching up to you guys! lol!
The good times with Alberto will always be there because we will be visiting them as often as possible if I have anything to say in the matter.
Everything will be fine don't worry, Justin is doing what he believes is the right thing and thats all you can hope for. At least he isn't doing anything illegal. Give him my best and let him know I love him and he is always in my prayers. Uncle Rob
I have enough vitamins to cover me till May I think. If you could and if you haven't done it already, I would like it if you sent me some of that body lotion from the business, it keeps my feet in good condition so that I can walk without any problems.
I am not really thinking a whole lot about the first thing I want to do when I get home because I need to concentrate more on my work here in Peru still. When we get to that bridge we will cross it with pleasure. I really am greatful for all that God has blessed me with. I am lucky to have been born and raised where I was and have such great parents that taught me all that I needed to know to be successful even though I didn't take advantage of it as much as I should have. Thanks mom for covering me on all the bases that I can't take care of myself while I am here with the driver's license, credit cards, cell phone, gym and all! Thanks mom for all that you do, I really appreciate it.
It will be great to go back to the gym finally! In two years I have gone 2 weeks in total and that was almost a year and a half ago. I haven't driven at all for two years so that will be a bit strange at first but I will get used to it again.
I am glad that Dad is finally working and hope he doesn't go back on stand by he is happier working that is for sure. I pray that you guys keep on working the business and never give up so that you two can have a little something, something to retire on. That is good to hear that you found your gym shoes and inserts, now you can get back into the gym without excuses!
It is sad to hear James and the lady truck driver didn't work out. About James, I have an Idea that our branch president gave me and I really felt the spirit that it was true. It's called "The Courtship" It includes 4 steps that you must do in order. 1. Initial Contact 2.Be friends and nothing else. 3. The Courtship 4. The kiss! Sex not included till after the wedding! He can give it a shot, what does he have to lose?
Mother's day is right around the corner and it will be cool to talk to you all for the last time in Peru. I have learned and put in use that your point of view makes the difference and not the situation. A positive additude leads to success and not the other way around. I plan on coming home strong spiritually and using what I have to help me create a new legacy for the Morton family. There is nothing we can't do or as the Addidas shoe company says "Impossible is nothing", or Nothing is impossible!
We are working hard and I love it. The mission is the bomb because it gives us the chance to redefine ourselves and become someone more like Christ. I am being an obedient child of God and it pays off in many ways and we recieve many blessings because of our obedience to the will of God. I pray the best for you all, family, extemded family and friends.
With a lot of Love,
Elder Morton
Mr. & Mrs. Robert 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
