Just don´t forget said password. Don´t forget to lock out the iPod Touch´s as well. You can add a four digit passcode to those by going to Settings, then Security.

That sounds like the first of the new board game movies. I know they were planning a Monopoly movie. Oh, Hollywood and your lack of originality.

 31 ¶And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
 32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have ^amourned to you, and ye have not wept.
 33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
 34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
You can think of that when you deal with the Anderson children, I suppose. Some people will just never be happy. .
I´ll let you know the certain details next week, but I´ll try to call before church, since the latest I could call would be 9PM, which is 1PM your time, which doesn´t work. It may be pretty early in the morning (10) or so.
The trip required a really early wake up, but we made it. Elder Caussé was a good speaker. He was pretty shocked to hear that we woke up at 7:30, though. That is probably the latest of all the missions. But the Area Presidency had approved it, so I doubt it´ll change any time soon.

We had a stressful experience on Sunday night. Right before the Christmas devotional was about to start (they showed it a week late here), we got a text message from our baptismal date for this week saying that she wasn´t going to get baptised. We´d just seen her at church and everything was fine. We called her, and she told us that her mother had called and freaked out when she heard that her daughter was considering breaking the Catholic traditions, and told her she couldn´t get baptised. At that point, we really couldn´t do much, but our wonderful Relief Society president went over and told her ¨We´re going for a walk.¨, brought her to the chapel, and in the ten minute walk calmed her down and got her to agree to be baptised again. So we only saw half the devotional, but it all worked out in the end.

So if all goes according to plan, we´ll have Georgiana this week, and Zoe, a little 11 year old, next week. Then that´ll essentially end the year for the mission, because all baptisms after the 25th count for 2012. We´re only 29 baptisms away from the year´s goal of 450, so it´s going to be close, but I´m sure we´ll make it. That being said, pray for us, okay?
I´m attaching a series of pictures. I was bored.
By the way, I recently ate mussels and shell fish. It was kinda bland. It definately wasn´t Mexican food.
We cleaned out a recent converts house this week. They´re gypsies, and not very clean...ugg...I´ve never seen so many cockroaches in my life. It was like being on an episode of Dirty Jobs, without gloves or any kind of protection. You could scoop up dead ones in handfuls, like candy. Lets just say you should be glad you weren´t there.

Well,

Have a good week!
