"thine afflictions are but for a small moment..."


TRANSFER NEWS..................im staying but we are losing part of our area which has our investigators in and taking part of another area and white washing but we are both staying...i knew elder klein would leave this transfer but i knew that you would be ok now. the Lord gave you someone to kind of help me not being there but can see that you are doing great now and that you dont need him to stay sane anymore lol. im sad he is leaving cuz i loved havin him close to you all and what not. you will have to road trip down to him once and a while, and while your in driggs for all brodys cavities see elder francis. IM SO PROUD OF BUB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! im now going to be waiting for a letter from him that says where he'll be serving and when he leaves... thats crazy about the whole mishap with his papers tho. KaLee's softball, that's too bad they lost so many girls to summer basketball. sports are such a joke these days, i hate that its the way it is... oh well not much you can do, they will lose alot of good players. oh sebastion is kickin it in heaven with grandpa marshall hahah grandpa is teasin him with a cane that he doesnt even need but has so he can torment people with it hahahaha. this week was really good, i felt the spirit strongest on exchanges teaching Gabriela and idk it was really awesome. right now im bummed though cuz we officially have 0 investigators and we are restarting...... its going to be really really hard but its what the lord wants and knows that i can handle it. idk i have felt very afllicted lately but the words that the Lord told joseph smith when he was in jail and joseph said," oh god where art thou?" and the lord replies " be patient in thine afflictions for they are but a small moment..." its true and he knows, he has been through it all and they are very short we just need to rely on him. so it will all be ok. oh the baptism i had no idea until a couple days before and it was amazing i was super nervous though... the spirit was sooo strong! gosh i just cant explain the joy that i felt that night to know that finally she is baptized and she is on the path. my spanish is terrible but i will know quite a bit whem i get home. sundays are weird we have church at 2 so we go out for a bit before we go to church and have a bit of time that night. they are pretty slow though. BOM in spanish is good im slowin down a bit cuz i been readin like our heritage and our search for happiness and im now on jesus the christ. im very proud that you all like the horchata haha its amazing, im gonna mexicanize you all. lol. thank you all for everything you do and yes i feel your prayers everyday! i hope all is well and that you are all havin a great summer.
love taylor
