Hey Mom!

 

Doing so well! Elder Tribe is my favorite! love it here. Ill send some pictures and what not. I didnt take too many. I saw elder hansen and everything. Im just loving it so much! 4 members in my apartment, love the guys. one chinese kid, one from england and then tribe and I. i cleaned the place up. Ride bike a lot. Had a great dinner last night. im in EMP eight mile plains. WE just started a new area so lots of GQing or street contacting. We wait by the bus and talk to the asians.

From Todd to the mission mom: 

Thanks Sister Henderson...this is great.

Our Elder Taylor really loves and looks up to his cousin, Elder Hansen.  I can picture that greeting and big hug.  Having him there is a comfort and confidence boost for our Chase.

I should tell you a quick story...when we visited Brisbane and the mission office back in March as a family, we attended church at the Kangaroo point building on Sunday.  There were 4 mandarin speaking elders there on that Sunday who we met.  One of the companionships had an investigator there and even pulled Chase, pre-Elder Taylor, into the lesson.  We were so impressed by the elders we met and the investigators and new members as well.  One missionary really stood out to us.  Jane and I were talking about him just the other day.  He latched onto to us and we latched onto him just in the few minutes we were together that Sunday....Guess which missionary it was?

Elder Tribe.  Isn't it great how The Lord works and how God loves and knows us individually?  Tell President he is doing a good job following the Spirit as he makes these important companionship assignments :)  It seems like an inspired choice of trainer.

Thanks for all you do, your sacrifice to be there and your loving and leading these fine missionaries and the work in NE Australia.

All the best,

Todd and Jane Taylor
