Keepin' it Classy in Tallahassee: No such thing as coincidences, right?

1. So we had a great week this week! The best part was our lesson with the Clements! It was another spiritual experience! So that was very good! We taught the gospel of Jesus Christ! The spirit was there and then a distraction! lame... but then after a few minutes we would get it back so it was good! Overall it was a great lesson and one to remember!

2. The reason it is memorable is we committed Brenda (the mother), Christian (the nephew) and Tyler (the 9 year old son) to baptism on Feb 15th! That was way cool! It was powerful experience and Brenda said she would try her best to make it to that date!

3. Last cool thing: We thought we just picked a good date but it was interesting. It was the day that her father had passed away, some could say that's a coincidence but I know a little better than that! The spirit definitely helped us pick out that day! It was great! So i guess both sides of the veil are working on this one!

4. Last thing: Mark's father who is a recently activated member made me tell the story of the mission president putting me in Marianna and then Sister Smith, his wife, moving me out, then me magically floating back to Marianna. They all told me the reason I kept floating back was to teach their family! Super cool experience! No such thing as coincidences, right?

5. We are working with Matthew Clements who is a less active young man who I got close to the first time I was in Marianna! We are going to start to read the Book of Mormon with him! Turns out he still has the Book of Mormon I left with him my very last day in Marianna! No such thing as coincidences, right?

6. I got a phone call from an Alabama number and it was super random.. so I answered it and it's my good friend, George Rogers from Monroeville, Alabama! We talked for a few minutes it was good hearing from a good friend like that. A nice surprise!

7. I taught district meeting on the Book of Mormon using a lot of talks form Ezra Taft Benson! Oh man that's one good guy! He knew his stuff and I hope we all use the Book of Mormon like he said we should! If not, we need to start!

8. We caught two raccoons with a bunch of less actives... I wish I took a picture but I didn't... they looked so nice like in elf when he tries to hug it... but I bet you they were mean and they just looked nice in a cage!

9. We have a recent convert in the ward and she loves feeding us... but she also loves making creations... this time it was a soup with a little of everything... lots of greens... it was kind of hard to swallow but Elder Peel and I got it down just fine!

10. Not too much more to say but it was good week and I am excited for this upcoming week! Adventure is always out there

Love you all,

Elder Taylor
