So i just wrote a long e-mail and it just disappeared. So I don't have much time but I'll try to get everything back in. The MTC is going great and the Spanish is coming along well. Two days out of the last week i only spoke Spanish no English it was really hard but it helped a lot. We have to teach tonight in Spanish I'll tell you how that goes in the next letter. I have seen Elder Wadsworth and Sister Shulte here they are both doing really good. I got the two packages that you sent thanks. The sweater fits me great. My companion is doing great we get along really good. I'm glad he isn't like Aaron's first companion. You need to go golfing with dad so he has someone to go with. He would really enjoy it. You could send gloves and a scarf if you want i don't know if I'll need it right when i get there because it will almost be Spring. Yeah you could send me that Uruguay shirt if you want i would like that. Sounds like you were pretty lucky with the storm that sounds like it was pretty fun. Tell Alison i didn't get to read her e-mail but i will next week and I'll write her. We had a great devotional last night Gene R. Cook spoke it was awesome. I don't have much more time sorry it was rushed but I love you all and I'm doing great don't worry about me. keep on having fun. Mom, please fix my pants for me the pant leg came unhemmed. Thank you i love you all. Thanks for all the lave and support that you have given me I'll talk to you next week. Adios.

Hola mi Familia. I can't believe that the water has gone up that much at Lake Powell that is amazing. I hope you had a fun time down there. Everything is going great here at the MTC. We haven't gone to the temple for the last two weeks because it is closed for cleaning and today our district had the assignment to clean. I have never cleaned so many lockers before it was fun though. I have a favor to ask I know why the ties at that store at South Towne Mall are so cheap it is because they are cheap ties. 3 of them are starting to fall apart. I'm going to ship home a pair of my pants they came unstiched in one of the legs i'll send them home this week or next. If the tie matches Brown or Black it will work thanks. > > Answers Yeah you can send that notebook I could use it. I already have my suit hanger. You take you dork dot off the night you get here. There were 18 Elders going to the Dominican Republic but they were the only ones in our mission. Our teaching went well last week we teach lesson two tonight on the plan of salvation but next week we have to teach in spanish and from then on out that is the only language we will teach in. I have got letters from Aaron and Jodi, Liz has sent me two dear elders, and i got one from Brother Garcia I think that is all. The perfect push-ups are great i love them i do 160 push-ups every other night. I'm glad that everything is going great back at home i'm having a lot of fun. I can't believe that it has already been 4 weeks wow! I saw the new missionaries coming in today and it seemed like it was just yesterday that i was being dropped off. I met 4 missionaries going to the Osorno Chile misson they are all excited. I love you all and can't wait to here back from you. Have a good week I love you all.
July 8th ***2nd Letter
Sorry about last week I typed dad's email in wrong so I forwarded it again today, I didn't just send you a one line email. That was what I forgot to send in the original email so i just hurried and sent it that wasn't the main one. Things are going good here at the MTC the food is good but I think after a while I will get sick of it. They have enough of a variety that you can usually get something that is good. The laundry is going fine i never did find my original laundry bag. All the elders in my room are going to Uruguay there are 8 of us going down there. Yes I met Elder Todd it isn't Hunter though it is Landon, Todd Hunter is his younger brother. Our service assignment is to clean one of the residence halls it is ok sometimes the toilets are really gross but it isn't to bad. I Think i have received everything that you have sent. I'll usually get the packages around 5 o'clock. I have to tell you about Sunday. First i finished the Book of Mormon second I said the sacrament prayer in Spanish third i bore my testimony in Spanish and last i was made district leader. So i have to pick up every ones mail and go to a couple extra meetings on Sunday. I was pretty excited. I love going to the referral center i got to talk to another lady that wants the missionaries to come and teach her i hope the missionary work in the field will be that easy. I have to teach the 1st lesson in Spanish tomorrow we will see how that goes. The language is coming along i study hard and try to speak it as much as i can so i speak good Spanglish. sorry about last week it wont happen again. I love you all hope you had a fun time at Lake Powell I'm doing great don't worry I'll write you next week talk to ya then Goodbye. Elder Taylor Tate

Hey how is the family doing? I'm so jealous you got to go to the concert. The Spanish is going great i haven't said a prayer in English since the 19th of June we learned how to pray and bear our testimonies in Spanish the first day we had class. It sounds like you had a fun experience with the cops i bet that was fun. Yes we do get to nap on Sunday it is only for a half hour though. I never did find my laundry bag but that's OK i have a new one. We have 10 elders in our district and 8 of us are going to Uruguay and the other two are going to the Dominican Republic to the Antivillos mission. They lived in Chile with the Jones I met them when we were down there. The other two missionaries in our room Elder Hughes from Boise Idaho and Elder Cone from Washington they are pretty funny we have a lot of fun. We go to the temple ever Wednesday in the morning. Our service assignment is to clean one of the residence halls. It isn't to bad. I think we get to watch them (fireworks) but we aren't going down there I'm not sure though. I have got all the packages so far thanks for sending them. I'm not sure what kind of memory card it is but I'll send that information in the letter to Elyse so just ask her in a couple of days. Has Ali and Taylor moved in yet? You need to send me a picture of my room when they do and a picture of there new car. I miss you all but I'm doing great i have really enjoyed the MTC so far. It is nice to know that everything is going good at home so i don't worry to much. I love you guys and hope you are all doing great. Tell dad thanks for the letter and I will kill more ducks than he will when i get back. Can't wait to hear from you again I'll write you next week. Elder Taylor Tate
