Hey everyone!
I hope all of you are doing fine! Crewe is just such an amazing place to serve and to be. It maybe a little rough around the edges but I love it either way. We had such an amazing miracle happen on Sunday for me and Elder Methorst and I love to share that with you:
We were going by some people we teach before we went to a ward fireside. Before we went into the chapel, we decided that day we would go to a nearby neighborhood and talk to some people about the Family Proclamation to the World. We began to tract or to door knock on a few houses before the fireside began. We knocked on a few doors and then we came to this one door. A woman answered the door and then I said to her, "Hi we're sharing a message on how families can be together forever through Heavenly Father's Plan!" It was pretty chilly that night and she invited us in to talk to her. We then properly introduced ourselves. Her name was Carol and she told us that she knew a little bit about the Church. She said that she has never been to our Church before but always sees the members go inside. She came in conatct with a few of the members before. We then shared about the Book of Mormon and then she told us that she had a copy but lost it. We gave her a copy, invited her to Church and she said she would think about it. We then had a prayer with her in her home. After we left we were prompted to give a prayer of thanksgiving for the miracle we have experienced. What a true tender mercy from the Lord!
Why I share that with all of you is that the Lord will always want to bless us. Some of you are going through trials at this very moment and think that the Lord has taken away that safe haven. I testify to you all that the Lord is always, always, ALWAYS there but sometimes we distance ourselves from Him. We need to draw ourselves to Him and turn our problems on Christ so that He can teach us. Now I want to say thank you for your constant prayers and for your love for me and for those who are serving in the Lord's vineyard. I love you all.
With Love,
Elder Terrence M. Taylor

Hey Everyone!
ITS SNOWING! It has been snowing since Thursday! Thursday alone we had 6 inches of snowfall! I also took some pictures that I hope will be posted to the blog. As you know as a missionary we can only access Church approved sites so its out of my power.
Lets get back to the work: So my Ward Mission Leader is so good! His name is Bro. Diamond and he is a convert for about 10 years! He was a practicing Jehovah's Witness and has an amazing conversion story to the Gospel. Every Sunday we meet to coordinate the missionary work here in the Crewe area. Bro Diamond was talking to us about how we can get people back to church and to get people to understand the Church even more. He came up with the idea to knock doors and to give out the Family Proclamation pamphlet to them. He also mentioned that it would be alot more effective if we get the members of the Crewe ward to help us out in that endeavor! I LOVE this approarch of the members here! I will keep you all posted to let you know if it goes well!
It is an exciting time to be a missionary in this work. I am privileged to be on the Lord's errand full time! My commitment to you all is to find ways to do missionary work. Pray for a missionary experience and I promise you the Lord will provide a way for you to get that. I love you all and thank you for your prayers for me; I truly feel them throughout the days, weeks, and months.
Much Love,
Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey everybody!
First before I began I wanted to let my Bishop Brad Barret and my friend Sheyla that I got your letters! Also Sheyla I sent something to you before I got your letter lol! I will respond back to you all hopefully by today!
So my new area is pretty good! It is cold like the rest of England and very wet as well! This weather makes me miss the hot dry weather back in Arizona ha ha! There are so many miracles happening here to me and Elder Methorst and of course some oppostion. I was reading in the book of Acts this morning on the ministry of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. I was blown away at how, through the power of the Holy Spirit, these men were able to speak with boldness and with courage about the Savior and His teachings. It was a big reminder to me that I must always strive to do the will of my Father in Heaven and be worthy of the Spirit of God to do the same as these Apostles in ancient times: to speak boldly and with courage the things pertaning to the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know that as we strive to do what our Heavenly Father has asked us to do, we can speak as boldy and as courageous about the things pertaining to the word of God.
My mission president, President Preston, told us that the work is going so well around the world. He mentioned that we will have over 70,000 missionaries serving around the world by June 2013 and that a little under half of the applicants for missionary service are young women! If you all out there are about to put in papers for missions, let me know and keep me posted on where you will be serving! :)
Well until next time, God be with you till we meet again.
With Love,
Elder Terrence M. Taylor

Hey everyone!
As you all know I am in a new area called Crewe which is in Central England. This place is just so good: the ward here is so focused on missionary work and are so supportive of us here in Crewe! I am serving with Elder Methorst from the Netherlands! I actually served around him in Whitefield so I know him pretty well already! Also in this area we are serving with two sister missionaries: Sisters Hull and Hanson from the USA! We are really excited to be in this area and to change lives here!
I am also in a bike area so most of the time I am on bike or on foot! Missionary work is very demanding work but it is the best work you can do in this life! I love being the Lord's missionary here in the UK! I dont have that much time but I wanted you all to know that all is well and that I love you all! Also there was a typo on the Crewe address. It is actually:
14 Hightown Apartments
Flag Lane
Crewe, Cheshire
CW1 3AL
United Kingdom
I want to leave you my testimony that God lives. That Jesus Christ is the very Son of God. As we harken to the teachings of the Savior, we will one inheirit what He has which is eternal life and happiness. I leave this with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!
With Love,
Elder Terrence M. Taylor
