COME WHAT MAY AND LOVE IT~: The best Missionaries around~

Where our story began~

I want my children to know that the temple is my favorite place to be. It is there that I am closest to my father in Heaven. I have a great love for the work that goes on in the temple. I know that we have a great work to do while we are here on earth and I am priveledged to be a part of that work. I have a testimony of Jesus Christ as my savior and redeemer. He has never let me down, not once.....I'm so blessed to have children that know at a young age who they are and what they stand for. I'm greatful for the Christlike examples in our lives. We are surrounded by people we love and that love us, what a blessing. The temple is where our story, The Taylor Story began....I pray that it is only the begining of a legacy of faith, service, love, obedience and happiness. Much Love~ Mom

The best Missionaries around~

Dear Good Neighbors -

Hello from our mission in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Do you remember that we promised to pose with your wonderful banners and notes after we arrived here? We couldn't do that any earlier because our camera was stolen and we only bought the new one on Friday, so here we are with our missionary badges on sending love from our mission to each one of you! We went to one of the two wards we'll be attending this morning. It is a ward full of single young adults AND cadets (many in uniform) from the United States Air Force Academy which is here in town. They are a happy group, indeed. The ward mission leader will graduate from the USAFA in 119 days. Between his sophomore and junior years he took a two year leave of absence and went on a mission to Scotland. There are currently 6 other cadets on missions according to the ward roster. All in Asia - that is interesting. We are learning a lot - and we are loving our fellow missionaries both youth missionaries and senior missionaries. We laugh a lot and are happy serving our Lord. Thank you for your kind and giving send-off and good wishes, hard work and kind deeds in our behalf. After 23 separate neighborhoods in our 46 years of marriage - Montebello Avenue is the FINEST IN THE LAND. We love you richly!
