So...

Taylor Family and Friends,
¡Buenos días a todos! Digo, buenas tardes- ya es la una y media, pero está bien. Capaz debo escribir toda la carta en español...¿qué dicen? Estoy demásiado cansado para tratar a pensar en inglés hoy. Interesante, no? A veces es más facil a hablar o pensar en español. Antes de la misión, yo siempre quería siempre cómo pensaban las personas que podían hablar dos idiomas...y todavía no sé explicarlo. Elder Huber siempre se burla de mi porque cuando estoy hablando en inglés, muchas veces una palabra me sale en español. Es chistoso, pero a la vez puede ser frustrante.
Ok, enough Spanish. How yáll doin? I hope everything is going well on this beautiful St. Patricḱs Day. Yep, I still got the "American" holidays down...thanks to my AWESOME homemade calendar! I informed everyone this morning at our zone activity that today was St. Pattýs Day-they were all very grateful. Haha. This morning we got together at our chapel and played soccer, and afterwards we played football. We had some good laughs. Elder Huber received a football in a package from home last week, so he was pretty excited to put in to good use. Actually, he and I have been waking up early the last week or so to go play sports in the morning; one day wéll play basketball, and the next football, and so on. A good way to make the morning routine not so boring.
We had a pretty good last week. Not too much outside of the usual. Yesterday was cool, though. Pablós family (Nahuel, Rosana, Fabian, and Mariana, along with Rosanás 3 kids) all went to Pablós ex-wife house for the weekend, so they wereńt going to make it to Church; we were kind of bummed about that, but when Pablo showed up on Sunday morning, he brought a surprise with him-two of his nieces that he had talked to about the Church and were interested. Hés such a good example of how a missionary should be. He talks to EVERYONE about the Church; and hés only been a member a little over 3 months! It́s so cool. Anyways, his nieces dońt live in our ward, but we got their direction from them and wére going to pass it to the other missionaries. Pretty sweet.
Yesterday in church I also gave my first talk here in this ward. This Friday, the four of us missionaries are going to start a weekly training on Preach My Gospel, and Obispo Sampayo asked me to kind of introduce/give a pitch for the training in sacrament meeting. It went really well. A couple of members came up to us afterwards and made sure on the schedule and asked about where they could buy a copy of Preach My Gospel-so hopefully that́s a good sign!
Whitley Davis is getting married? That́s crazy! To who? If you see her or her mom, give her my congratulations and tell her I want an invitation! Haha. Oh, speaking of which, what ever happened with Shayla Troff́s (Bentleýs) invitation? You guys got one, right? Send me a copy. Or maybe you can scan it and send it in an email. That́d be good. Íd just like to see this shady character that stole her heart! (Just kidding Shay!)
Wow, that́s crazy what happened to Sister Nelson. Next time you see her, make sure you tell her I say hello.
Carson Homer is such a stud. I need to write him again, but with the new rules on the pouch mail, it made it a little more complicated. Some excuse, uh? Get over it, Elder Taylor and write that kid! How are the other Elders doing from back home? Ward/Stake/Bingham. Have you heard from/about any of them? Such as Jeremy or Brendan, for example? Just a question.
Hey Melanie, are Bro. Montoya and Bro. Christensen still at Bingham? If they are, tell them to quit being lazy and write me! :o) Man, I miss seminary. Those were some good times. *Sigh*....haha
Hey Melanie, what́s all this about all these trips?! I want to go! Haha. That sounds like a blast. What is the group that Ms. Hatch chose you for? You are going to be a Senior next year, right? Sheesh, that́s crazy. Yoúre getting old, kid!
Hey Mary-Anne, that́s a pretty sweet missionary experience! Congrats! Haha. Now you just have to follow-up and tell the missionaries yoúd love to be present in the lessons! :o) Theýd be very impressed, as would I! The sister missionaries had mono?! That sucks-we just had an Elder who had to go home early because he had mono. That́d be tough.
Alright, well that́s about it for this week. Ím gonna go home and take a nap. Well, wash dishes and then take a nap! That sounds just beautiful. I hope all of you are doing well. Have a happy Easter this Sunday. Eat lots of candy for me. :o) I love you!
Elder Taylor
