And ye shall go forth in the power of my Spirit, preaching my gospel, two by two, in my name, lifting up your voices as with the sound of a trump, declaring my word like unto angels of God. Doctrine & Covenants 42:6

Conference Was Steller!



I don't have too much time, so here it goes.

Conference was super awesome. I really enjoyed every talk. Elder Holland's was super boss. If you didn't get a chance to hear it, go right now and look it up. Super good.

I went on exchanges with a missionary greener than me. I had so much fun that day. We talked about on my favorite TV shows, Scrubs, a lot of the time. Until that exchange, I thought exchanges were dumb. Now I totally see why we do them. It really helped me out. I really am grateful that I have such a good companion, but it is nice to take a break and get a new perspective for 24 hours.

We got 6 new investigators this week. One of them was a guy Elder Smith and I tracted in to about 2 months ago. We started teaching him. His name is Mike. Pettegrew and I tracted in to a family of 5. I just hope they are super cool and that we get many opportunities to teach them and help them progress in the gospel.

Carla and Roland's baptisms are scheduled for Saturday. I sure hope that they are able to be baptized. I'll let you know in a week from now!

Not too many weird or strange experiences. Tracting has been weirdly successful. I attribute it all to Elder Pettegrew. He is super obedient and only wants to do what's right. The only time we've been able to find people are when he chooses the streets. All the ones I choose either have only one house on them, or the people start yelling at us and swearing at us telling us to get off their properties. Lots of good work has come out of tracting.

This Thursday we are having a mission tour. That is when a general authority comes to our mission and speaks to just us. Our GA is C. Scott Grow. I have no idea who he is, but I sure hope that it will be great.

Here's something kinda funny, so Jenny, the person I had my first lesson with, and her parents, have all said that they want to follow me where ever I go on my mission. They might also just come home with me. Haha! They said they only need a small room with a couple of beds. That family is one of my favorites.

Now, I can't even think of what else to write. How lame, right? I want to tell you that I found a giant gold nugget outside my house, but that would be a lie. What isn't a lie, though, is that ya'll are the greatest. Keep up being super cool.

Now go, and be Golden,
Elder R. Sage Taylor
