Hey Everyone!
I just wanted to quickly tell you all how awesome the MTC is and how grateful i am to have the opportunities i have here. I'll give you a quick run down about what has happened my first full week as a missionary! i got here and met my companion and he eneded up being so awesome and so cool! I totally Love him. He is Elder Beazer from Kaysville, Utah and has known Amy Doxy since they were little. He is so awesome and it was amazing how quickly we were able to bond.
The first thing we did was go to a big room with 100s of brand new missionaries and we sang Called to Serve! It was so awesome loved every second of that! And then it hit me that i am a missionary!!!!! The first thing Sister Nally told us was how important it is to call missionaries Elders and Sisters and not guys because "guys" are the ones at home dating your girlfriends! Some guys thought it was supper funny othere thought it was a low blow but i loved it so much! After, the President of the MTC spoke and told us that because of all of the missionary applications coming in, every apostle who is in town and able to help has been working to assign calls.
Am I in heaven??? Cause that's honestly how I feel!! It is so great being surrounded by almost 3,000 missionaries, and by June they will have 5,000 at 2 campuses here in Provo, and another 2,100 in Mexico by July!! Crazy! Even crazier is that now 42% of the missionaries here now are sisters. Can you believe that? By June it should be 50%! Sister missionaries are such a great thing! We have 4 awesome sisters in my district! they are sooo cool! I love them and the 8 elders that are in my district!
One thing that is super crazy is how much the Lord cares about simple roleplays that we do in class and with some teachers! It is crazy to be bearing testimony of a principle of the gospel to someone who knows it and lives it and have the spirit with you helping you sooo much! it is so awesome! i wouldn't want to be any other place!!!
Sorry that this couldnt be too long but we dont have too much time on the computer! goodness i could write for hours with what i have learned that last few days! but i still love every second of being here! Just wanted to end by say that the God loves everyone no matter their circumstance and i am so greatful to be a representative of Jesus Christ! i have to smile every time i run by a mirror and see my name badge there.. so bright and so awesome! I love this Gospel The Church is true! so grateful to be here!
On Tuesday ill have to leave Elder Beazer and go to Flordia. goodess time flies by sooo fast but you have to enjoy every moment of it! i have a few people out there who have mission calls... let me know!!! I love you all the Church is true! Pray for Me i have a big week coming up!!!
Love, Elder Taylor
