Week #11 & SKYPE!

Well this week in emails was kind of boring for Elder Monson because WE GOT TO SKYPE the day before!! We were all so excited. We got the call at exactly 3:00 pm. We could hear and (kinda, it was blurry) see him... FOR A WHOLE HOUR. Grandma & Grandpa Monson were there too.  He couldn't exactly hear us at first, but we got it figured out. (Thanks to Sana & Cory!!) We asked him a whole bunch of questions and he answered them. He even got to have a first look at his new cousin, Kate, who is 2 1/2 weeks. He said she was cute, so that's a plus. After about 45 minutes, Elder Monson had a few new visitors. Tyler & family said a quick hello and then left (after all, this was Mother's day.) But, they did talk in Spanish for a few minutes and he translated a few words from the hosting family... How sweet that was. They said only but nice things about Taylor, and we couldn't agree more. He seemed SO HAPPY and that was all it took. We KNOW Elder Monson is doing the right thing. Grandma & Grandpa Gertge came by for the last 15 minutes and he got to talk to them too. We are so proud of our Elder! Only 1 year, 9 months,and 2 weeks (okay, that's a rough estimate... but we're pretty excited.) until he's home. <3
