I love being a missionary!

Buenas Familia!

I hope everything is going good! This week was a very stressful, but awesome week! On tuesday we had a special meeting in the morning for all District and Zone Leaders, tuesday night we had a special Zone Leader meeting with President WIlkinson and the Heredia Stake Presidency, on Thursday we had our Zone Conference and interviews with President! It was a week filled with meetings, and meetings are very tiring, but it all turned out really well! Our missionaries are happy, and are working harder than ever, and we are trying really hard to strengthen the zone! The month before I got here, the Heredia Zone reached only 3 baptisms in one month, and now we have the goal of 20 in March, so that will be cool if we can reach that!

Things are going well in Ojo de Agua. We are really looking for new investigators, and we have been focusing on finding new investigators everyday. It has been a little rough because the members here are a little cold, but we are doing everything we can, and we are putting our faith in the prophetic promise that we will have more success if we work through members. So remember to help out the missionaries because they can´t do it on their own!

Thats so awesome the Josh came home though! Tell him that I say hi, and that I am stoked to see him after the mission!

Well this week we had a very neat experience. Sunday morning we passed by the houses of all our investigators that were going to come to church and all of them told us no, or they weren´t there. So I was really ticked and we got to church, and it started without any investigaotrs in the chapel. But halfway through we saw 2 of our investigators entering the chapel! It was awesome! Their names are Maria and Carmen. Carmen has a weird tumor in her back so she walks with a lot of pain, and it turns out that she wasn´t home inthe morning when we passed by, becuase she was in the hospital getting an injection for her tumor (in Latin countries, everyone gets injections instead of taking pills when they are sick...) so she came straight from the hospital, walking in pain! I love her! She is getting baptized on March 2nd! It really was a huge lesson in Humility. As a representative of Jesus Christ, I need to be a lot more humble, and I need to rely more on the spirit than in my own abilities.

I love the mission, and all that I am learning her. I love you all, and I hope all is well at home. Tell Josh I say hi, and let everyone know that I love them!

Love you all!

Pura Vida,

Elder Taylor
