Just living the dream!

Subject: Just living the dream!

Hey yall!

Yes I was hoping you could send me a few photos from my childhood and growing up years until just before leaving on the mission. Pick some photos that are good to show how and who I was before the mission. Include a few from my bodybuilding days and I will pick out the coolest pictures from those. I think it would be good if you send them through the email and in the mail on a CD just to be safe.

That's good to hear that James is making a few positive changes in his life. I am proud of him. I knew he could do it. Yeah Camie should feel bad! Just kidding! LOL, I know how it is sometimes, and besides I’m coming home soon! Yeah we will see how things go. I don’t know what is in store for me when it comes to the dating game but I will be doing my fair share of contacts! Justin. There isn’t much I can say there, just that he will learn the hard way sooner or later.

I got the news that I am going to another part on the outskirts of Lima to end the mission. And it’s a hilly desert. The sad news for me is that we have a lot of baptisms scheduled for the next two weekends and I won’t get to see any of them. It goes to show you that you never know what the Lord has in store for you, all you can do is keep on keeping on and be positive. I will keep up the hard work and enthusiasm as always and I know that everything will turn out alright. All I can say is that the Lord has something really great in store for me, whether it be to learn how to be more humble, patient, or to have more faith, whatever it is it’s an opportunity to learn and grow.

I hope you all are doing good and following the commandments and working the business like crazy people so that you too can retire in style! Until next time!

Love you all,

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
