Elder Taylor 10-Oct-2011

Hello how are you doing? 
This week has been interesting.

Tuesday was a good day we met a woman by the name of Mary and talked with her about what she believed and the restoration.

Wednesday we did exchanges with the Elders down in Fulton and I went to Fulton for the day and worked with Elder Thacker who is the district leader over the district I'm in. Elder Thacker and I went down and tracted down in Holt Summit a smaller township about fifteen minutes south of Fulton. We met a few people who were on the way out but stopped long enough to Say that they were interested and asked us to come back later next week. That evening we had dinner with the Cowells, who are a great family, and talked about the restoration with them.

Thursday we had both district and correlation meeting which took up most of the day. District meeting was good the Zone Leaders were there this week and the Linn area was reopened by Elder and Sister Keller who are now in our district.

Friday was good we went and followed up with a few people we had contacted tracting. We talked with and man named Richard and told him about the restoration; he said we could come back so we assumed the lesson went well.

Saturday was great we talked with Matthew again and set a baptismal date with him at the end of the lesson; he is really interested in the church and is asking a lot of amazing questions.

Sunday was fun after church we went with Brother Andelin and saw Mildred again. Meeting with Mildred was odd we talked and asked if she needed any help around the house then just shared two scriptures. The first was John 3:16 which she liked and commented on. then shared Helaman 5:12 which says "remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation" and she changed the conversation not because that scripture said anything that she didn't agree with, but simply because she doesn't read the Book of Mormon. That evening we went to the Carter's for dinner and helped Brother Carter rake and burn the first pile of fall leaves. We move into our apartment today, but we have transfer calls this week so I'll hold off on sending the apartment address until I know whether I'm moving or not. Have a good week -

With Love,
Elder Zachary Taylor
