The greatest and saddest day of my mission...

sounds like you are staying busy as normal which is good ha but yes winter is coming faster and faster and for you there will be snow haha. i was gonna say we worked really hard to do that insulated and heat lamp part and your gonna tear some out and add on to it... but thats good how are those chickens? you still love them to death? so the letters, i will be happy to write them back as a group is there anything special that you would like me to put in or just ansswer and write to what they said?

wow sorry idk what happened computer like spazzed out and sent it. so the letter to the school (skyline?) i write and just say please release my transcripts to my mother mindy stosich or what? and i have to get that notarized? then the thing for the visa i fill everything out but i dont sign it and then get it notarized and send them both back right? yeah the connections class, its like an english class or something and its sweet and it gets me some stuff that i need. it is the one that starts a week early yes. hey Shane Motes had like 3 days home and then he went to Hawaii, i can still visit ha. Yes, i could definately work with kids for a career, i really wanna be a doctor or something now. that may change between now and when i get home but thats the career that is on my mind right now. you can give me some other ideas like specifics cuz i dont really know still.

im super glad you llike your class, it is definately good for you!
oh man that stinks that he is goin off again, im glad he had fun though. you both definately deserve some of that. what is he going to now? speaking of going, did KaLee go to phoenix or is she going? i was hoping you could see elder klien that day but maybe another day this week.

wow bub is off i am sooooo excited for him and proud of him! he will do great, tell him not to stress and that il be thinkin about him sunday.

so i will tell you a story that will take up time and i wont be able to write about the other questions but here it is. so saturday morning we get up do our normal thing and we get to comp study and we decided to talk about the spirit and praying by the spirit and some different things. well one of the questions was do you think that your companionship and personal prayers have been getting answered. we sat and thought about it and after about 8 minutes i had really thought that that hadnt, well the bigger things. we have prayed to find a family to teach since we got into this area and nothing, we prayed for just people that would listen and nothing. so i said that and i really felt like those things werent getting answered. dont get me wrong he answered other prayers and i think that is what frustrated me the most is cuz the things that mattered to me a little bit he answered but the most he didnt. i talked to elder pierson and basicly told him how great my desire was to find a family and someone to teach and yeah we ended companionship study. so we head out and start doin the norm, talkin to everyone, visiting potentials, recent converts and less actives. well at about 1215 we are riding and see this guy lady and little girl walkin so we stop and talk to them and they are like yeah we have some time and we will listen, so we were like sweet! im locking the bikes up and said kind of a little prayer saying thanks 3 people is awesome and how grateful i was. we walk inside and they have 3 other kids, its a family of 6. now this family sat down all the kids and listened and were sooooooo amazing, quiet, happy everything it was awesome! their apartment was so clean and they really wanted to learn and wanted to better their lives even more. it was such an answer to my prayers and it was definately more than i asked for!

saturday was one of the greatest and saddest days of my mission. i have come to love my companion sooo much and i learned alot from him, the area wasnt going crazy but we had found that family and the ward is sooo awesome. i found out saturday nighht that im getting transfered to a place called tierra rica and thats about all i know, my companions name is elder carrillo and is way nice. im gonna miss liahona 2 and elder pierson but i think that he is one of those friendships that is gonna last a long time like dad and kenny and russ. well i gotta run cuz i got a few more to write. i love you and i hope all is well have fun and be happy!
love taylor
