Hey yall!

I am glad that you heard back from Giorgio. Those guys and their cigar thing, they make me laugh. Vic’s baby shower that has a funny ring to it, I almost can’t believe it, but it’s true. That’s cool that Vivian speaks two languages. I hope they teach the kids to speak Chinese and English as well. It would be a good advantage for them in the future. I hope as well the hard work ethic will rub off on Vic, he needs it!

Welcome to the military life Chris! It sounds like a blast! I think he will do well as long as he keeps a positive attitude, works hard and is obedient. The kids are growing up fast and so are the old people! Jeff will be 45, how crazy is that! Holla at everyone for me!

I am glad that your health is improving and that you’re seeing results, keep up the good work. If you can send some photos in your next email that would be great so that I can download them and give them to the offices so that they have something for my part in the slide show. They want 5 pictures before the mission, 5 during, and 5 of baptisms. I have the photos during the mission and baptisms but nothing from the life before the mission. Thank you for helping me in this and really all the help I have received in the mission. It has been a great experience for me and you have been a big contributor to that.

As I said I am here in Ventanilla which is a hilly desert about an hour and a half outside of Lima, but it’s panning out well for us because now we know the area a bit more and we have a little help from the members which was needed a whole lot. We will be able to do a whole lot more now, and that takes a load off my shoulders. It goes to show that if we have faith and work, in due time things will work out. It’s crazy to think that my time here is coming to an end. I never thought it would end but all things must come to an end. The only thing that has no end is the family! I am really pumped to work hard so that a lot more families can have their lives blessed by the gospel because this is the work of the lord and I owe him big time and besides that I don’t have time to slack off.

I will bust my butt till the very end just like I did as a bodybuilder! I pray for you guys always and I hope you are doing what you know is right: Read 1 Nephi Ch. 8. It talks about the perseverance. We are in that phase of life right now, persevering till the end of our lives. Keep up the positive attitude, obey the commandments and build the business! Plan for success!

1. Work
2. Family
3. Church
4. Team INA

With diligence eventually it will be:

1. Family
2. Church
3. Team INA

Send a shout out to all my family and friends that I love them and will be seeing them soon!

Love,
Elder Morton
