Thanks!!!!!!1
Thank you all so much. thanks for the e-card. Um.... ya. you asked me to watch it by myself for the first time but that doesnt really work. there is never a moment where elder Baird is less than a meter away from me. Which is cool. We eat together, We sleep together, we share the same piece of mint flavored dental floss. the world is our burrito. We are such a team. I love it. I can really notice how much more of a load i have to carry when i am on exchange with somebody else. Elder baird and i carry the weight and work together so well it is almost unbelievable. I think i will attribute that to his amazing work ethnic and devotedness to the work. I dont even know if those are really words that i just used but i felt cool using them.
We are stoke for the Baptism of silvia davidova this weekend. She is the daughter of the Silvia that we just baptised a couple of weeks ago. She has made a ton of progress these last couple of weeks and i hope that she contiues to make progress and fight off the temptations of satan. He is really a bugger.
I got to work in basel this week with Elder Meckes. he is from Minden Germany. what a great missionary. I also had the opportunity to be on another exchange with Elder Venczel he is from Hungary. Such great faith have i never before seen. It is wonderful to be a missionary here in the greatest mission in the world.
The time is going by way too fast. I dont even know what happened this week. We are constantly calling people in the mission getting stuff organized. We have no time for ourselves and that is kind of not good because my journal is suffering. but its positive because its not about me. My mission was never about me. I'm really glad that that has become internalized. because this is whats most important. these people are the most important and their eternal joy is the most important.
Well other details about this week are... ya i dont know. its just going by too fast.
Lots of love,
Elder Adams

Lovies!!!!!
Sorry that i did not email last week. It was pretty crazy. We had a platefull to do. It was transfer week and that we had to get all planned und set up. I am however very thankful for elder Aeschbacher who is in the office now. He is so great. he got all the train times and other stuff set up so that missionaries wouldnt get lost on transfer day and that was great. I am staying here as assistant with elder Baird. I am so excited to be able to keep working with him. we have a goal to have at least three more baptisms in this transfer. the baptism with sister Davidova went great. Elder Baird baptised her in her mother language, Czech. As he baptised her it was so cool. I got to be one of the two witnesses because i knew the prayer in czech as well. The spirit was so strong. and after she came up out of the water she exhaled a joyful laugh and then she went to her daughter smiling and beaming happiness and just cried in her shoulder i gotta go have a meeting with president hopefully i can write more later and then ja bye!!!!!
So to continue this email....
on sunday it was great. It was silvia's confirmation day i had talked to denise, her daughter, the night before to learn the prayer for the confirmation in chech. that was so hard. But i managed, in sacrament meeting, which was also fast and testimony meeting, i confirmed her in her mother language and then gave her a blessing in german. The spirit was really strong. I love this restored gospel. One can really feel that these sacred ordinances are ordained of God. I know its true. We are working on being better and better though. We are never going to give up. And i am grateful to be doing this work.
as for that other stuff. I think that my uvu id and password are laxer11 its the same for both of them i think. ya i dont know, what i want. I think it would be great to study there at other places. Elder baird wants me to study with him. but i have know idea. I think i will just stay here. that would be easiest. ha ha. no but really for now i think i will just work my self to death here and then worry about life when i get back there. thats a good idea. Thanks for all that you do. and for the support you give unto me. have a great week and let me know if there is anything i can do for you.
love

Hi,
Thanks a ton for the birthday song. It was a pretty cool birthday. I thought i had managed to go along without letting anyone know that it was my birthday. Then we had all of the zoneleaders from the whole mission over in our house on the first of April. we had zone leader council on the next day and i thought that nobody knew. We had a super busy night on the first of april and we taught 8 lessons to our super amazing investigators that are making progress and loving coming to church. But as we came home on the night of the first of april. i went into my room after planning in the office and getting everything ready for zone leader council the next day and all the zone leaders had decorated my bed with streamers and flags and other stuff. it was funny. Although unnecessary, I am thankful that some people care about me. Thank you for the card. :) i will have to use the coupons after my mission. I dont think i can use really any of them while i am here.
WE had a crazy good week. The baptism for Silvia Davidova is planned. She speaks Czechoslovakish and she wants me to confirm her so i got some language study to do. She speaks german as well but in her mother tongue would be cooler. Elder Baird is going to perform the baptism in Czech as well. We are stoked for next saturday. Busy week ahead of us. I am greatful for general konferenz. that was great. I felt uplifted and strengthened.
well we have a meeting with president condie now. So i gotta go. thanks for all that you do. I love each and everyone of you for the support and love that you send to me.
Love,
ELDER ADAMS
ps. could you see if i can apply to byu or u of u and then apply that for me. I dont know when the deadlines are. President condie commanded me that i should start thinking about my studies and life after the mission even though i dont want to at all. man the prophets had to talk about marriage and president jumped on that topic and started giving elder Baird and i council. funny stuff.
well bye till next time.
