1. Super cool-- Brenda asked me to confirm her, Christian and Tyler! That was awesome! I'm grateful I was able to do that part! But I wish Elder Peel was there to help out! Oh well! Me, the bishop and Jake Mathis all did it. But i had to yell the confirmation since there was no microphone! Not very conducive to the spirit! But hey, we did it! Just a blessing!!!
2. Not trunky! So everyone keeps asking me if I'm trunky (means my trunks are already packed) but I'm not. I'm really not thinking about it at all. It's kind of crazy since it's something so close! But I really just haven't even stopped long enough to hit me! I guess it will hit me when i get to tally in a few weeks but we will see! But I can't stand missionaries that are trunky and give up their last months so I made myself a promise I would never be like that!
3. Lincoln and Melanie! So we had a really good lesson with our ward mission leader this week. A family fed us and then we taught them... they might be a little bit of stoners.... they had a few bongs and it was interesting having dinner with reggae in the background but its all good I guess! But it was a really good lesson and they loved what we had to say! And it's also cool when investigators feed you! I've only had a few do that so far but I appreciate it! So does my belly!
4. We had a super good lesson with the Clements on patriarchal blessings! Brenda ate it up and is going to make an appointment with the bishop soon! we suggested it would be great for Christian because he is a senior in High school this year so he will have a lot lot of big decisions in the next few months!
5. Christian. This kid has only been a confirmed member for 1 full day and the ward is already trying to get him on a mission! He is so solid though! That's another reason he needs a patriarchal blessing! But he is the only young man that's anywhere close to going! So we are working super hard with him to get him going out there!
6. I was talking with Brenda one night this week about christian and how he became such a good kid. cause its amazing he's an athletic kid, super popular and the girls love him! All the young women who never stay for baptism came for that one! But he always cares about including everyone. He's just a good kid. Brenda is his aunt and she told me that the first night they picked him up to stay with them Christian just wanted to stay up and watch TV, all he wanted to really do was to have Brenda stay with him so she could talk to him. They talked all night, because the people he lived with didn't talk with him, that was when he was a freshmen. It's just amazing how the lord has prepared him and protected him to this point. He will do great things
7. Cold snap! I came to Florida! I don't want it being 20 degrees with 75% humidity! It's horrible and freezing and I think another one is coming soon! I hate being cold... all in the lord's work, right!
8. The District meeting I taught this week was super fun! The last 30 minutes we do roleplays which is acting out missionary scenarios so what we did was I gave out a Boook of Mormon and a few pass along cards and we just played hot potato with them, but we had to contact another missionary in the room with whatever we had and then relate it to the restoration! It was way fun!
9. My knee is really tight so Brenda has been doing therapy on it! Just working out the tight muscles! It hurts so bad but it feels better after! She was trying to make me cry but I was tough... Mark aka Florida dad gave me a hard time! I mess with mark a lot! But benefits of baptizing a physical therapist!
10. Last thing... Dale Hunter! A member met him at the hospital and he totally showed up to priesthood! It was totally random! So we set up a lesson with him! Good job members!
Love you all,
Elder Taylor
