Hi Mom and Dad.

How are you guys? My P-Day is today (Wednesday). I can only write on P-Day. My companion is Elder Tross he is from Maryland. We don't have much in common but we get along great. I have seen Elder Burton and Elder Morris (from High school). I sleep good at night, I'm usually pretty tired and I sleep on the top bunk. The first days were just meetings. We room with Elder Cone and Elder Hughes they're fun. We get up at 6:30 and have to be to breakfast by 7:00. All our meals are 45 minutes long so from 7:45-11:30 is class with Hermana Willardson. Then lunch at 11:30. Class from 12:15-4:30, then dinner. 5:15-9:00 we have personal study, companion study and language study. We are in bed by 10:30. We had a devotional on Tuesday and Elder Perry, Elder Scott, Elder Holland, Elder Hales and Elder Christofferson were there. It was awesome. Elder Hales spoke on the Atonement. All is going well here. I love you guys and miss you. Don't worry about me, have fun and be the best you can.

Love,
Elder Taylor Tate

Taylor's Farewell

Taylor spoke on June 8th 2008. The topic that he was given was based on the scriptures found in Mosiah 18: 8-10, which outlines the importance of baptism. He did a wonderful job, the spirit was so strong! Below are some pictures from the get together afterwards at the Tate residence.
