I didn't know you were all into the skype phase of life, I'm going to have to confess something, we got a letter from Salt Lake while I was in the office that said all missionaries now have permission to skype their families for their Christmas phone calls to cut down on the cost of calls. I didn't tell you because I thought you would have to install it, even though that only takes about 5 minutes, and I kind of thought it would be cool to be able to say I didn't SEE my family for 2years, but if we wanted to for Mother's Day we could probably do it, I don't know, I still think it would be kind of cool the suprise in September after having not seen each other for 2 years. Anyway, just had to make that little confession now that you have been talking so much about skype.
Anyway, to answer a few of your questions, I am still with my companion, Elder Juhasz, but we did, get a little change, I went up to zone leader, I'm over all the missionaries in the front half of Capiata, a zone of 12 missionaries, and I'm the only zone leader. It's been pretty fun so far, I haven't really had to do anything much different yet, but we'll see what happens. As for the little girl, she is supposed to get baptized this week, but we've been talking about it and we want to wait until next week. She's only 9 years old and her parents aren't members and she doesn't understand really yet the questions for her baptismal interview. I mean I know she's only nine and she won't be able to respond as intellegently as an adult, but I don't want to baptize her just because her aunt wants her to and then she goes back to live with her mom and never goes to church again. I think we should at least wait until she understands how to pray on her own, so I'm pretty sure it might get postponed a little. I think it will work out well too, because her cousin, that is the daughter of a member, just turned 8 and we can plan a baptism for them to get baptized together, so the girl will get interviewed by the bishop on Sunday, and then Monserrath by one of my district leaders (I like how that sounds) on Tuesday and we'll do the baptism next Wednesday. That way we'll have another week to get her more prepared, we'll go over there and teach her everyday to make sure she's good and feel a little better about it.
As for the letters you sent me, thank you so much for the pictures, I can't believe how much everything has changed, the mission is really weird in a way that it feels like everything has just kind of been put on pause and will be the same when I get back, its kind of weird to accept the fact that the world moves on without you. I can't believe Nick is married! No one ever told me that, I guess he's been home for 6months now, which is also just insane to me, I've been gone a really long time, and I've still got quite a bit left. It was just a weird kind of reality check.
Anyway, we're going to be going, I love you so much, sorry I didn't write much today, I spent a lot of time reading things over again, but I love you all so much, can't wait to hear from you again next week, Elder Adamson V
