hahaha my computer is working today! yeah i dont think i have changed in skin color or voice that much but i sure do enjoy hispanic food and the people! i have no clue where i will be for christmas, transfers are comin quick and i just hope i will be here cuz i really dont wanna move right before christmas... we have a little tree already cuz a family in our ward gave it to us. ummm i think if you send it in the next day or so then you can send it to my actual address or if you want to send it to the mission office that is ok too. i dont think there is anything that i need or he needs right now but il let you know if something comes up.
wow that is so sweet that you got a 99%, haha yeah pride is a major downfall but its one thing that everyone has to work on. im glad you enjoyed it, thats what our heavenly father wants is that we have joy especially learning. gaining knowledge thats the point of our life here is to learn and grow to become like him.
im really excited for bridger that he is finally kinda taking his own course in life and doing what he likes, i kinda feel like i may have pushed him into different sports cuz that was what i loved. he will do good at swimming, he is a little fish. thats also one thing i love is swimming so i can definately cheer him on haha. thats gotta be super nice to be able to read and have some time to yourself while he is swimmin. i think i will really enjoy reading when i get home like you and dad. oh my goodness the story about grandma is hilarious, she wrote me and told it too and i was just laughin along with the other missionaries here! i can only imagine grandma with a flipper tooth.
Katie being baptized, i cannot believe that! everyone is growing up way to stinkin fast! the story about Jake in the car is pretty funny to, that is definately our family lol.
is lavern a pigmy goat? what animals do we have at the house now goat cats chickens dogs no cows but soon im guessing here in the spring. we are gonna need pigs cuz i will want some real bacon when i get home and im glad we have eggs cuz i eat them everyday but they dont taste the same. haha you have mikes mules, how is mike? i heard about the sharp boy that died in Iraq, thats sad.
ok so my last two weeks.... i wont lie i have had better. the companionship is good but the area went off the maps down hill... that family just like stopped and we dont really know whats going on, they were super solid loved everything and then the dad stopped listening to us and is dragin the whole family down too... its been really rough, we tried to pass by a couple times out of the week and they told us to stop coming by so much and then we would only come on the day that they said and the whole family wasnt there. so we didnt even get to teach them but they werent at church so we went over to see if they were ok and we knock and we could hear the dad say they dont come over all week and then they come today. so he didnt want us to come but then blames us for it idk its tough right now. so we are back to lookin really hard to find someone to teach... well there was a few other stories but they are definately stories for when i get home hahaha. so i felt the spirit super strong on friday when we worked at the lights, it was super awesome i felt like i had a HUGE smile on all night and we talked to ALOT of people and handed out 6 book of mormons it was a blast too! i think that some people are more receptive because of the holiday but i feel like alot arent because they dont understand the real meaning of all of it and they are focused on all the worldly things and everything thats happening in the world and all sorts idk its rough cuz some people are really touched by the spirit that there is during the holidays but some just get super grumpy and mean cuz they are in the worldy things. im going to temple lights again the 12 22 and 30th to so i am super duper excited.
it really hasnt been a very eventful 2 weeks, we helped put up lights and all that other stuff happened. hopefully this next week will be better!
well im glad all is well i hope that everyone is happy and enjoying their time right now, and remembers what this holiday season really is about. i love you all and hope you have an amazing week!
love taylor
