Here's some exciting news if you are a missionary or related to a missionary or a girl/boy friend of a missionary. The missionaries can now write home for ninety minutes every week instead of only one hour AND they can write not just to their families but to friends and girl/boyfriends as well. Still can't write to other missionaires in the same mission or to members of the opposite sex in the same mission - unless they get special permission.
We were told this was worldwide...probably something to do with the changes in age. Maybe they are encouraging relationships in the hope of encouraging marriage. Whoever "they" are!
The missionaries are still expected to spend the first thirty minutes of their email time writing to their mission president.
We get our first 18-year-old Elder and 19-year-old Sister in August. In the next few months the mission will have 22 new elders and 8 new sisters. That's a third of our total. Plus we just had 14 arrive in the last couple months. Really changes the dynamics of the mission. Seasoned missionaries leaving, new mission president, lots of new, younger missionaries. Ought to be interesting.
