Hey yall!
First of all....HAPPY FATHER´S DAY!

I hope Dad’s Father’s Day was enjoyable because he is the bomb! This might be my last email from Perú as a missionary how crazy is that?! I have learned a lot in these last few weeks. I have learned that at times our pride and fear of new things inhibit us from growing to be the children god intends us to be. I have been able to work with a gringo for almost three weeks, and it makes me want to call all of my Latino companions that delt with me when I was new and apologize for being such a butt.

In regards to the money deal if it isn't too much of a bother it would be great if you could send me a little bit more money just in case because I want to buy a little something for everyone from ¨El Perú¨ if possible and I don’t want to be completely broke when I get home.

Don’t wish to be more organized, just do it! Start today and do something every day until it’s a habit and then you will say ¨remember when I was un-organized? ¨ Annette lives close to Fitness 19. I hope she will make it a habit to go for her health and not just to drop a few pounds. It needs to be a life long endeavor, not just a quick fix.

I will need the varying clothes sizes because right now I am not as buff as I used to be but I plan on making a come back with vengeance. Yes, give those size elevens to Chris I am a 9-9.5 now. Thanks for the desk I will be using that a lot to study and the TV is cool but I don’t think I will be using that very often. I will be thinning things out as well because I too have a lot of things that I don’t really need and can be of greater use to some one else. Don’t worry about the air conditioning deal you will live, I have survived without air conditioning for 2 years and its all good! There is no air conditioning in the jungle either, and it’s always about 95 degrees with about 100% humidity!

How crazy, I will be a great uncle before I even get home! Who would have imagined? Oh yeah I got the photos and thanks a ton! I used the one of Semaj and I, when I played football and the one with my brothers and sister. I think we will end up developing the pictures that I have in my camera when I get home because if I send them now I will get home before they do! It’s been a crazy 2 years and every day it seems more and more crazy. My only comfort is prayer and the scriptures.

I have truly come to realize that were nothing without the lord’s help. We can accomplish our dreams on our own at times but its a lot more fulfilling when we have the help of the lord; we just feel more at peace. I really want to go to BYU and build the business so that I can provide every opportunity for my family possible to grow and be better than I was. We will see what the lord has in store for me, all I know is that he can’t steer a parked car so I will be moving from the get go! I have to put this new found energy into something positive because if I don't I will lose it and I don't want that.

I will write you next week if I can, but if not I love you all and look forward to seeing you soon!

Love,

Elder Morton
