So Hot!!!

6/2/14

Hello Family! 

This week was good and so so hot! Normally I am always glistening with sweat. It makes me laugh. Right now we are working on finding new people to teach and it has been good and we also had a neat experience this week with someone that drives the little cars called "motos" that are like a mini taxi. We introduced ourselves and gave him pass along card of the temple. he told us that he was a member of the church but has not gone to church for a very long time. He is only 22 years and his name is Obed. And something he asked us was how can families be together forever? We found him again yesterday in his house and had the opportunity to explain the Plan of Salvation with him again. He does not remember hardly anything about his baptism but wants to learn again what he once knew. I am excited for him. Also in thinking about this it is the same for all of us. Before this life we knew the plan of God for us but we came here without knowing anything and we have the opportunity to learn again somethings we once knew. What a blessing to have the Gospel in our lives!! To remember that God does love us and he truly has a plan for us. Each and every one. Well my family that is really all I have for this week. Thanks for writing me! Enjoy the summertime!!! Love you all so so so so much! 

 

Love ya!

Familia,

I do not have a lot of time because I was enjoying your letters too much. Thank you for writing me!

This week was busy. We are searching for new people to teach. One experience: We were walking in the street and I had the thought to talk to this man that was sitting on the sidewalk and he is so awesome, but he does not live here which made us kind of sad, but we talked about lots of the Gospel and he was so receptive and everything. At the end of the conversation he told us that he had been sitting there waiting and wondering what to do when we showed up. The hand of God is in our lives every single day. And I just love this Gospel so much! Glad tidings of great joy that I get to share with all the people here in Mexico

and my favorite is that I get to be with all of you forever!!!!! Love you all so much!

Hola Familia!

 Well my family, my new area is wonderful. I am in a branch. It is a small town and pretty calm. But wow it can get really hot. There are so many mango trees and mangos everywhere!!! I like mangos a lot and there are tons of different types. All delicious. My companion is Hermana Salazar and she is an angel. She has almost 4 months in her mission and is already a pro. She is from Mexico. Also her birthday was on Thursday and we ate so much cake and food we almost exploded. The members here are very sweet and fun. The pictures are of her birthday.

Also this week we had a conference with Elder Johnson of the 70. He talked about faith, escogidos which means people who are ready right now for the gospel, and the importance of the members in missionary work. It was so good!! And that day we were challenged to find an escogido and then call Presidente Cardenas and tell him the story (he is my mission president). And my companion and I found him! It was in the last hour of the day and we went to meet with one of our investigators la bodega de mangos but he was not there (p.s. I do not know how to say bodega in english). And a young man was there and asked us if we talked about God and we were like yes we do and we began to talk to him. His name is Juan (John) and his life has been pretty rough but he has recognized he needs to change. He told us he wants to be baptized when we invited him. He is almost 18 and he is just great. He came to church with us yesterday and we are just talking with him and very excited for his progress. please Pray for him to be strong.

I am almost out of time and have more I would like to tell you, maybe next week. I only want to say one more thing. In Mosiah2:41 It says to remember, remember that these things are true. For me this is what I learned: remember that the promises of God are real. Remember that we can be with our families forever. Remember that God is with us withersoever we go. Remember to pray because prayer has so much power. And Remember that I love you all so so so much!!! Have a great week!

Hola my dear family! 

Karen got baptized this week!! She is golden. And this is her story: we found her through a referral of the Hermana Alvarez who is probably one of the greatest people I have met here in my mission and her family also. Anyways Karen, her dad is less active for a lot of time and her mom is not a member. We have been visiting with her this last month and she has been golden from the start. She just needed the mission talks and invited to baptism. And something more her whole family came to the baptism. Her cousins and everyone live in a different stake and almost all are members. It was so neat to see them all supporting karen. And then on Sunday was her confirmation and her mom and dad and sister came and they stayed the whole 3 hours! And Karen was so happy that they stayed and her mom is really interested and asked a lot of questions and really liked church! yes! 

Love you all! 

Hermana Taylor

Woohoo!!

My dear dear family,

This week went really well! We had 3 baptisms!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I am going to tell you the story of Jonathan. I believe this was all the way back in January, but near my house is a laundry mat of sorts and we passed by one day and decided to talk to the young man that was working there. We only got to see him twice because he only worked there for 4 days. We had taught him how to pray and gave him a Book of Mormon. But I always wonder what happens with these people we teach and then they disappear for some reason or another. Well this last Sunday, not yesterday but one week ago, I saw this young kid in our ward and I was like I know who that is, but why do I know him? Well it was Jonathan!! The elders had been teaching him, but it turns out Jonathan lives in my area so we finished teaching him and he was baptized this last Saturday! Woohoo!!! He is a really good kid. But this experience was so cool! I was glad he was found again. The other 2 are brother and sister and it has been a miracle to see them progress. Marian always wanted to be baptized, but her little brother not so much. But he told us this last week that he wanted to be baptized with his sister. I am glad the Lord touched his heart. Oh and my companion is taller than most other people...like me. She is really nice. I gave my first talk yesterday in my ward - wow after speaking spanish solo for 10 minutes straight my brain was really tired. I think it went well. 

I love you all so much!!!! Enjoy you week and remember that God loves you!! Always and forever.

My dear family!!! 

Well we had a pretty neat experience this week my companion and I. We visited one of our investigators that I have not seen since a long time. Her sister was there too and the son of her sister is a member of the church. We gave the first lesson about the Restoration and explained the Book of Mormon and total. And the sister said that she did not know that we believe in the bible and the book of mormon. That they support one another. And she understood!!!! It always makes me happy when investigators understand. And she also gave the prayer at the end of the lesson and began to cry. It was a sweet experience. I believe they will progress quickly. 

Well that is all I have time for!!! I love you all so much!!
