Minha Familia! Como Vao?
October 21, 2013
Hey noobs. I realize
it's Monday. But I leave tomorrow so they gave us a p-day today. But we still
have class. Weird right? But other than class the whole day is p-day. So we get
to just
chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
for the last time for a couple years today. It's not really chill though. We
actually have quite a bit to do.
This week has been
awesome. Last Tuesday we had a devotional after I emailed. So they had told us
that it would be a big one and that it was being broadcast to all the MTC's
around the world. So we knew something big was going on. Well, in walks Dallin
H. Oaks. Now I've seen apostles before, I've talked with Elder Bednar in the
Joseph Smith Building. I've sang for Elder Perry and Elder Hales at the
Governor's mansion, but the feeling I got when Elder Oaks came in and we all
stood up was incredible. We could all feel his spirit just emanating through
the whole building. It was awesome.
So on Thursday, we had
in-field orientation. It's where they go over a lot about being a missionary.
No one talks about it a lot. So I had no idea what it would be. It was
incredible. You could just feel the spirit in the rooms the whole time. And I
LOVE south Americans. They really are the best. I was with two elders the whole
time. One from Germany/England. and he was a genius. And a way nice guy. And
the other from Colombia! He was honestly one of the nicest people I have ever
met. I told him his English was really good. And He was so happy. Like just
beaming. Ah. What a kid. I love South Americans.
So during in-field they
challenged us to talk to people. There are people here that have life stories
that you can just talk to. One is named George. He only has one leg and the
other is a prosthetic. He was amputated just above the knee. in my whole time
here, I have never seen him smile. Ever. So I was really nervous when we want
to talk to him. But we just sat and talked and I told him about Brandon and
Josh Poulson. He got up and showed us what he had been working on walking wise
and he could do it! It was so cool. We talked about how much of a miracle and
blessing he is and how God has blessed him. I saw him smile for the first time.
He smiled for a while. We saw him later and I said hi and talked with him for a
little and when he saw me he smiled! I love the gospel.
Thursday we also got our
reassignments. Yep cool. you've heard about that. And it was Syd's birthday.
Friday, I finished the
Book Of Mormon for the first time here. It felt so good.
I am so excited to get
in the field! Thanks for all your letters this week! I got a lot! I love you
all!
Eu sei que esta igreja e
verdadeira!
Love, Elder Scott Jackson Taylor
