Letter from Tyler

alright here is the dealio. basically the first flight was delayed 3 and a half hours. then the next plane was delayed again until 230 and so we didnt arive in lima until arund 915. so we missed our flight to cusco. not only that, we sat in that airport for 10 hours while allison tried to find us tickets for planes our of lima to cusco, unfortunately, nothing was found. today we were stuck in lima because the soonest flight we could get is 830 tommorw morning. then we have flights ranging from then until two, just our group is on so many different planes. last night i was really discouraged, mom i know you said just be strong about everything for josh´s sake but he handled in a lot better than me. we were stuck in a different country, not even knowing if we were going to get tickets to go to cusco or anything. i was almost in tears. anyways, to pass the time we went to the lima temple to do some baptisms and the most amazing thing happend. as we were waiting, we were told that the day that we were coming through on the way back to do temple work, they were closed for two weeks, i guess Heavenly Father wanted us to be in that temple at that time, we met a young man named vladimier. he was the funniest kid. he is fourteen and like up to my knees. ahah but anyways he did the baptisms along with us and that was cool. they asked if we wanted it to be in spanish and we all said yes. it was a great experience. we went shopping today as well, i got some prizes for someof you so start getting excited, only 2 weeks til you get to see it. sorry for not calling, we have been having trouble getting a sim card or even a calling card for that matter. so you will have to settle for this. tommorrows flight is supposed to take all day, just to get everyone there, but the flight it self is only an hour or so. the camera bugged out twice and i lost all my pictures twice. the first time i had like 10 pics on it and then it said the memory was full. so i deleted everything on there. there were pics from like when hailey made crap out of clay. anyways lights out in an hour and im on the first flight outta here tomorrow so i gotta go get packed. trying to stay possitive is hard when you are in a different country and nothing is going right. anyways, love y´´all and if this is hard to read its cus the keyboard is different. adios! -- Tyler Morrison

Ty and Josh, enjoy every moments and live the experience, because you will remember this the rest of your life. I lived in that life for so many years, through that struggle and not knowing what you going to eat the next day makes me who I am today. I came to the States and take advantage of the freedom and the opportunities we have here. I just hope that you guys will take some quite time while you there and think of your wonderful families here at home especially your parents for the sacrifice they have given you guys to make your life comfortable and enjoyable. knowing with these experience you will come to know that not everybody in this world live like the way we do here, not everybody have cell phones or I- pod or can drive a car. So enjoy the experience and hopefully it will be an humbling experience for the two of you. Please let Josh know that we love you guys. Have fun
love Toribau family

We miss you ty. But very proud that you are there experience something once in a lifetime. Try and explain "worthwhile once in a lifetime's" to Kylee. She doesn't pick a service mission to Peru that could actually benefit someone. No she picks bull-riding. Love ya lots!

Sister, Ty is in Peru. He has been sent there by his grandma Wilma Burch. She was the one to make this experience possible. He will be there until the 9th of Aug. He works there as service projects for the church. There are about 20 in his group. Working with orphans also. He is having a great time. Yes, he will love it even more when he gets home and looks back. Isoa, is a great friend of ours who married Becky Burch, Deb's sister. He has been adopted into our family. Great guy. You'll love him when you meet him. Thanks Isoa for your remarks. Thanks sis for commenting on our kids blogs. We love it when you comment. Love to you all. Good luck Ty, we will be glad when you get home and can give us all the details. Have a great time and pray every chance you get. We love you all, grandma & grandpa, Sister and brother
