The work has been so great. It's
been a wee bit frustrating but I'm getting it done. I love the gospel and am
falling more in love with it everyday (Kinda like Kimber and Sam), haha I have
to put those cheesy things in there sometimes. We had a lot of dinner
appointments with members this week which was fabulous. The Berhmann's, that
you got the pictures from were on Monday, cute family. The next day we had
dinner at the Young's. They were a young cute couple with a little 18 month old
girl. We had some great pasta and salad. They're awesome. Tuesday was district
meeting and we were talking about companion unity so we had a three legged race
against all of us in the district. Our district leader didn't think Sister
Dicou and I were going to win, but we DID! and it was awesome. We got pokemon
cards for winning. Our zone went out to Fuddruckers after and it was the first
time I've been and it was so good. The next day was our zone conference. And
that was so much fun. We had some great talks from President and Sister
Jeppson, they sang for us and it was so much fun.
Thursday is walking day. It always so nice to get out and walk once a week. Thursday are good because we have set appointments everything Thursday. We go and teach two recent converts and a member that is in a hospital. It's so awesome to see the Light of Christ in their lives and the power of the Holy Ghost testifying to them the truthfulness of the gospel. We had a relief society activity that night about how to organize our home which was a great lesson for us. Sister Dicou and I learned some great tips for when we return home.
Friday
was RAINY!!!! It was pouring down pretty hard. But it was great. They have a
resturant out here called Friendly's that is really good we went to. We
actually went there two days in a row. :/ But it is yummy! Friday was really
cool and I got to experience being guided by the spirit completely in a lesson.
Sister Dicou has had a name in her mind for a while and we finally had time to
get to go see him. We got to his place and caught him just as he was going out
to smoke. He had had 5 baptismal dates but hasn't kept them. We got there and
got to know him for a little and then the scripture Ether 12:27 popped into my
head. It worked perfectly to what he was telling us, right after that Sister
Dicou took over and said she kept getting this prompting to invite him to
baptism. So she did. He was a little hestitant but accepted to be baptized
again. Yesterday our plans fell through and we weren't able to see him when we
had planned but it was so cool after we left to talk about how we felt and how
the spirit really guided us through that little lesson. I'm grateful for the
opportunity I have to change people's lives and be guided by the spirit in
those ways. I know God lives and is there for us, praying for help will help
you find answers to your problems.
Saturday
was awesome. We actually got to help priests and laurels who are looking to go
on their missions soon. It was kinda intimidating becuase I have just barely
got out here but it was a strengthening experience. I got to sit one on one
with a girl and help her understand the gospel a little bit more. We had a good
time and it strengthened my testimony about what I know. It's scary going out
and talking to people but with the spirit by my side I can do anything and I
just have to remember that. They had President Jeppson come and speak to them
and he is such a spiritual giant. I look up to him a lot. We went out to eat
again to a diner that has some good food. I'm excited to come back here after
my mission and show you guys all around the areas I served. I'm so excited!
Sunday
was good. It was church. I've gained a stronger testimony of church attendance
and the sacrament. The talks and lessons were fabulous. After church we did our
studies and then we wanted to go see if an investigator was home that Sister
Dicou had been trying to contact. And she was. She has a cute little girl and I
connected with them so quickly. I feel like I was supposed to meet this lady
and her little girl and I can really help them so that was fantastic.
I
know this church is true. I'm grateful for this opportunity I have to spread
the gospel. It has already blessed my life so much. Tell Melissa to write me. She
can email me to. I'd like to hear from her and I'd like some pictures of the
babies if you could.
Time for more gym time and
basketball! Love you all and am so grateful for your prayers. May the Lord be
with you always. Mosiah 2:41
Love,
Sister Taylor
