Now Go, And Be Golden: Since I've Got the Resources

This will be another quick update.

The first and best news is that we had a baptism on Saturday. I kinda forgot to tell all of you about it because it wasn't somebody that I was working with. Before we rearranged our area boundaries in the ward I was teaching Bobby, the one who got baptized. He's married to a member and had been coming to church for years. The missionaries had been teaching him for quite some time. After we rearranged the boundaries Elder Summerhays and Elder Weaver started teaching Bobby. And soon after that he came to realize that he needed to be baptized, it also helped that President Van Cott went with the missionaries to teach him a couple of times. It was all jim-dandy in the Pioneer ward. That was one of the biggest turnouts I've ever seen at a baptism.

We found a new investigator this past week named Sebastian. Sebastian is awesome. He's 17 and has a bunch of friends at school who are LDS and he really just wants to be happier and come to know his Savior. He's a great kid. We will be teaching him again this week. I'm pretty stoked about that.

For those of you who will serve missions, being friends with your companion makes all the difference in the world. It's awesome that Elder Hevner and I knew each other before we were companions, because now all we do is work. We don't have to figure each other out and we don't fight and stuff either. We just get out and we work. It also helps that Elder Hevner is a boss, so no complaints there.

Next week we get to go to the temple. It's been 6 months or so since I've gotten to go, so I'm super excited!

Have a good week, all!

Now go, and be Golden,

Elder R. Sage Taylor

There was a baptism in the ward for Bobby, someone who has been investigating for many moons. Elder Summerhays and Elder Treanor were the ones teaching him, but I taught him back in the day when I was covering that little part of the ward. His step-son is the one who baptized him.
