Hi Dad
Hey Dad, how are you doing? Because it sounds like you are
going to be running your self ragged going all over the country in the next few
weeks. Sorry that I could' t help you trim the hedge but I know how you feel
Elder Solomon and I are in charge of doing the yard work for the missionary
hosing in Mexico although thanks to Missouri and Mexico's burn laws we now just
have to burn the leaves we've raked up. I'll try and find spiritual thought to
send you next week I always enjoy yours. Anyway be safe in your travels and I’ll
write you next week.
Love,
Elder Taylor

Hello how’s it going? Hope you get some down time at work
Dad it seems like you've been flying every where recently. Tell Seth to start eating
I think I was 183 for about a day also thanks for sending me his email I'll be
sure to send him a note. This week was
crazy.
Monday was Halloween and P-Day which was interesting
because President said we had to be in the house by seven because of all the
trick-or-treaters. So
Monday was pretty much an all P-day which was good because
we got a break but disappointing at the same time because we couldn't go and
talk to people.
Tuesday was nuts. We were woken up by our neighbor at
three in the morning who told us our shed was on fire. So we get dressed and
run out and see twenty-foot flames coming out of the roof of our shed and all
we could do was watch and wait for the fire department to get there. The fire department
came a couple of minutes later and put out the fire only the shed and the fence
next to it were damaged, well the shed is now a black circle on the ground. It
was interesting two of our investigators were there as part of the police and
fire crew. So long story short after multiple phone calls and talking with the
fire investigator the fire was determined accidental, no other damage was done,
and we are now known in the office as the "burnt up elders". The rest
of
Tuesday we spent contacting and tracting and that evening
we had Combined District Meeting (CDM). CDM was good we set goals for the zone
and leaned how to better use preach my gospel.
Wednesday was a little calmer I went on exchanges with
Elder Purcell in Fulton Fulton
Thursday was fun the district had interviews with President
Clark. Interviews were fun while president was interviewing people his
Assistants (APs) were giving training on how to do street lessons.
Saturday was busy we helped out at an eagle project for an
hour or so and then got a call that a part member family needed help moving a
piano in Auxvasse. So Elder Solomon and I met the Fulton Elders in Auxvasse but
we were told the piano was still an hour out so we went on splits and Elder
Banks and I tracted while Elder Solomon and Elder Purcell went and saw a less
active member. Tracting with Elder Banks was fun the first person who invited
us in was a Baptist minister. He was kind and open minded and most of his
questions about the church were about the plan of salvation. Afterwards we went
and helped move the piano, it having arrived while we were working. That evening
we talked about the restoration with a less active member who is starting coming
back to church.
Sunday was stake conference. Most of the talks were about
meekness and the Holy Ghost but there were a couple about missionary work.
Afterwards we spent the day with Brother Herring who took us to see some less
active members and some non-member he knew that he thought might be interested
in the gospel. It went well, went to a nursing home and talked to a couple
there about the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was interesting even though the couple
we were there to see seemed to enjoy us being there because we were someone one
to talk to others around us were really interested in the message we shared. This week is looking to be really good. I
hope you all have a good week and thanks for writing me it means a lot.
I love you guys.
Elder Zach Taylor
