I don't know if you got my handwritten letter yet. Our branch president told us on Thursday night that we had to write to our families and send them a letter this week even though it wasn't P-day, so I wrote it and sent it yesterday. If you haven't gotten it yet, you should soon. Sorry if I repeat some things in this email that I also put in the letter. I don't remember everything I said.
I can't believe its only been a few days. It seems like its been so long since I got here. Every day is so full that each seems like several days. Its been pretty hard, but every day it gets a little easier. On Thursday all the girls and my district and I had a super hard day, so on Friday morning we prayed together before leaving our room and that made a HUGE difference. Yesterday was so much better.
Something else about yesterday. I came back to our classroom (that we basically live in) after lunch and there was a note on my desk from Dad. HOW DID YOU GET IT THERE, DAD?!?!?! I just can't figure it out. It was really sweet and made me happy to get, so however it ended up there, thank you.
We do a TON of role playing to practice teaching. Doing that in mission prep before this always seemed super weird and awkward, but now it feels so real! Even if I'm just teaching my companion. I feel the Spirit a lot and I love role playing.
My companion's name is Sister Orr. She's from Park City and is going to DC South, too. The other sisters in my district are Sister Spencer and Sister Terry. They're both from Southern Utah. I love all of them so much!! They have helped me so much when I struggle and are all so nice. When we teach together or when we have discussions, its like we have some kind of psychic connection, but its really the Spirit working on all of us. I will think to say something, and one of them will say exactly what I was thinking. It happens the most with SIster Orr and I when we're teaching. We totally rely on each other to add to the discussion and to build on each other. If I feel like I've been talking for a while and Sister Orr needs a chance, I will stop and she picks up and says exactly what I would have said next anyway. It happens so naturally its like we've known each other for forever, but really its just the Spirit guiding us both in the same direction. Its really cool.
I hope all of you are doing well. I miss you all so much, but I know already that I've seen blessings from being here. I read an email from Nakai earlier and a ton of things have happened to bless his life already too, so I'm sure that you have felt the blessings as well. I know the Church is true and that the Holy Ghost is real and is guiding all of us if we listen and live our lives in a way that he will be present. I love you!!!!!
Sister Taylor
