The phone call was great! No, you werent discouraging at all, it was super good to hear everyones voices again. itr was super crazy to hear camden and brody jabbering away like there was no tomorow. ha idk why you think the other kids listen to me so much but im super glad if they do, i want to be the good awesome influence and big bro that i should have years ago. ya i was calling from a cell phone but they bought 3 dollar calling cards for us to use anyway, but we tried to pay them back but they wouldnt have any of it haha they are super awesome. the guy actually gave me a suit the other day too, its way nice. they are awesome!! so the baptisms it was maria martinez rodriguez and her daughter yaritza martinez. OK, i will try and share more experiences in my emails. i have no clue about stuff to send with bro brewer to be honest i just kinda fly by the seat of my pants when it comes to my needs but i think everyone else is good really idk ha when is he coming? elder monahan is way awesome he is an elder in my district that i have really gotten along with, he still has a year left. he is from pensylvania and is just way cool, he has tried to talk me into goin to byu hawaii... but idk about that. it was pretty good timing though and kalee knows about the WHOLE cookies and thats what she will get one day ha she has never settled for half a cookie and wont. i am super glad that all is well there and i love you all sooooooooo much your amazing!!!

Beautiful hike in Arizona!

oh goodness time is not on my side today... i want to say sorry for 3 things first about emails, we went hiking today and it was amazing but its gonna make my email short. 2 sorry if you dont get your mothers day gift this week idk when it will make it. and the 3rd... i cant call on sunday... just kidding dont kill me and dont freak. we will probably call that night probably around 6 or 7 i think. i read kegs!!! the phillipeans is sweet he will do awesome, if you see him tell him im gonna write him next week cuz i had no time whatsoever today, actually call him please and tell him how stoked i am for him!!! im so glad bub started! i dont remember what i did for the egg drop but i think if you took like a a milk jug or something of that size and padded it super good with like toilet paper then put an egg in the middle and finish filling it, that might work, idk im sorry. the out house sounds cool. i cant even tell you how excited i am for vaughndavid, my heart just idk swells would be the best word but no i havnt gotten the invitation yet, soon. ha the whole Kalee thing i kinda knew i would be right. idk its weird even though we were at each other all the time we have kind of a bond and we know each other really well. il tell you about elder monahan another day ha i dont have time, and bah im sorry send all the questions again next week cuz i have no time. i love you all soooooooooooo much and i will talk to you soon. love taylor
