Hey yall!

Thanks for the pictures they are pretty much exactly what I needed to choose from! Whoa! How cool is that! My first bishop, and best the example of a latter day saint that was a bit crazy like I was will be the one releasing me from missionary duties! Yes that’s right it will be the first Sunday of the month. The 11th it will be then, I’m down!

Well Justin graduated boot camp, may have gotten married and the family wasn’t there? That’s a crappy start and sad enough it will end crappy as well. Mike was talking about going into the police academy 2 years ago so it’s not really a surprise. Good for him. It’s a good, steady job that pays well enough. Well Mike is a smart guy and I think that he thinks that is good enough to support him in the way he’d like but it’s not. There are a lot of smart people out there in the world and it’s those that work hard and sacrifice that make the good money.

Well I’m sure you guys are passing through your fair share of trials but be strong and never give up hope for a better day. If you obey the commandments you will be blessed sooner or later and in the time most needed. I too look forward to coming home although I will be leaving a big part of my heart here in Perú, but this won’t be the last time I step foot on Peruvian soil! My coming home will be a breath of fresh air for all of us I think at least for the first few weeks of missionary stories and photos!
To be continued.............

Thanks Mom the pictures of Semaj and I is the bomb and I will be using it for sure!

Now, to understand Lehi’s vision read 2 Nephi Ch 11. It’s the explication that Nephi received about his father’s vision. Laman and Lemuel are Lehi’s two older sons that fell away from the lord and didn’t partake of the fruit. The mist of darkness are the trials that the adversary puts in our way to blind us and lead us away from the straight and narrow path.

The blessing has the same result because you are heal based upon your faith, it doesn’t matter if I am a missionary or not but if that’s what you want who am I to say no? I love you all and I know that the lord is on your side all you have to do is have faith and act upon that faith because as you know the lord can’t steer a parked car!

I have crazy news! You know how I was sent to Ventanilla in a hilly desert? Well now I am near the mission office as a district leader and I am training a white boy from Washington! How crazy is that! I am teaching a white boy Spanish and basically I have a managerial position, in other words I get to serve 6 people and help them have more success. I am learning patience because my comp doesn’t speak Spanish at all and he wants to speak to me in English and he is adjusting to the mission life, that it’s not all about ¨me¨. You never know what’s just around the corner. I am happy to know that the president has a whole lot of confidence in me because if he didn’t he wouldn’t have called me as a district leader training a white boy Spanish. I feel good because that means the lord has confidence in me as well. Keep on keeping on! Keep it real and read your scriptures!

Love to all,

Elder Morton
