mothers day.

so yeah seeming as how we talked just yesterday. there really isnt that much to tell and i forgot to bring my camera to send some more pictures so you will just have to wait. but yeah im glad you all enjoyed those pictures. and you guys can see the people that i met in rivera and kinda of funny having a horse staring into your kitchen as your eating dinner haha. umm so yeah you all sound a lot older and its only been 7 months everyone is growing in their own disitnct ways. it was super good to here from my homeboys austin and thomas. why didnt taylor loomis say hi to me!!!! thats kinda jacked but whatever. so yeah its weird that i have been gone for 7 months and there just barely getting out of there and its funny to know exactly what there gonna be going through these next couple months. the mission is the hardest, most tiring, at times dangerous thing on planet earth. i never thought it would be just quite this hard. but i have never had a challenge in my life and i definately need these 2 years. elder jones brother told me something cool he said. the mission wasnt the best 2 years of my life but it was the best 2 years FOR my life. and obviously im just getting started but thats soo true. i have already learned how i knew absolutely before the mission and how little and stupid somethings are but as a teenager you think its your entire world. so yeah the mission is the best, funnest, life changing experience ever. the key is just to recognize the little miracles and blessings everyday. thats something i have a hard time recognizing until someone says it or i reflect back on it and say wow that really was a miracle. so yeah all is good with me i love being a missionary, time is flying by. and i love you all take care of yourselves!! talk to you next week. your brother, your son, and i hope your friend. keep it krispy. elder michael barton
