Hey everyone!

Just to remind you: You can now email me if you like! My email address is terrencet@myldsmail.net. So if you want you can email and I will try my best to respond!

So next week is transfers and this week is transfer planning! I am so nervous to hear what will happen to me! Every missionary panics about this week (and I bet some of you returned missionaries know how that feels!). If I leave Crewe, I really want to be called to Wales! I heard it is really beautiful! Elder Methorst thinks I will stay and that I will train here! That would be SO scary; yet fun at the same time! Whelp we will see! I love being here in England and the UK; I have learned so much I've been out here! These 7 MONTHS have transformed me and helped me become a better person because of it! Also for those who are leaving out on their missions, always remember that the Lord wants you to be you! That is why He has called you to that specific place because the people there need YOU!

Thank you all for the constant prayers in my behalf for I can truly feel them as I go throughout my days! May the Lord bless you all in rich abudance!

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey Everyone!

IMPORTANT NEWS: I can now email to you all! I know it is a little expensive to send letters snail mail so you can now email me! My email address is: terrencet@myldsmail.net. So if you would like to still send me snail mail, I would still love it! But to safe you some post expense you can email me.

So last Sunday was Mother's Day here in the UK! It made me think of my own mother and all the things she has and still does for me. Truly mothers are such a blessing in the lives of all of us! Also something else that happened on Sunday is that me and Elder Methorst taught Primary! It was my first time EVER teaching a Primary class! It was pretty fun and the children are so knowledgable about the Gospel. Truly future kingdom builders. But don't get me wrong it was tough to have them pay attention to the lesson being given. Still you can't get mad at them for their enthusiasm! :) I am enjoying my time here in Crewe and we see miracles everyday here. I love my mission and I cherish the people that I have been able to meet and associate with on the Isle of Man, Whitefield, here in Crewe and of course the missionaries here in the England Manchester Mission!

I bear witness that that this work is truly the work of Almighty God! I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ who invites us all to 'Come unto Him'. I love the people here in the United Kingdom and I cherish this time I have to serve them. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor

Hey everyone!

Before I begin I just wanted to leave a message for those who are on the Isle of Man who keep posted on my blog: I heard you all were at the temple! I am so sad that I didn't see you all! Also for those on the Isle who wrote me, I will write you all back today. Sorry for the late response but just know that I love you all!

So this week has been so filled with miracles and a little opposition. There was a day where me and Elder Methorst were talking to people on the streets and a few of them were really rude and crude. Another day we were walking and a few young people called us names but we dusted our shoulders of there foolish taunts Lol. Anyway we realized that something good must be around the corner! Then the next day, we were by the Czech family we are teaching! We went by and they were home! They let us in! We were able to catch up with them to see how they were doing. We then taught them about the Importance of the Book of Mormon. It started out a little bumpy with music playing in the background. But then Daniel turned off the music and Elder Methorst was prompted to read with them from the Book of Mormon and we read together with them; us in English and them in Czech. We read Mosiah 3:5-19. After reading that we asked them how they felt when we read it. They said they felt so peaceful and we knew then and there that they felt the Spirit of God! We then asked them to read together as a family and also we asked them if they came to know that the Book of Mormon is true, would they be baptized and they said YES! What joy we felt and the love we felt from our Savior and from that family!

I testify that the Book of Mormon is truly another witness of the Savior's divine sonship and ministry! I know this because I myself have read from this book and I cannot deny that it is, with the Holy Bible, the word of God! I invite you all to read from its pages if you haven't for yourself and see if it is from God! I love reading Moroni's testimony of the Book of Mormon in Moroni 10 and also Nephi's testimony in 2 Nephi 33. This I leave with you in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!

Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor

Hey everyone!

Before I begin I just wanted to let Erin, Rebekah and Sam that I received your letters! I will try to write you all by today if I can! Thank you for your letters and your words of sincerity and also your great stories!

So last week was so good! We were pleased to have a Multi Zone Conference in Manchester last Tuesday! Elder Stephen Kerr of the Area Seventy here spoke to us. He is such a Preach My Gospel guru! Most of his talk consisted of things written in Preach My Gospel which was so good! He also talked about the importance of keeping a journal! This was something that caught my eye! He talked about how that even the Book of Mormon was a pile of journals written by the prophets in the Americas! He went on to say about the different examples of people in the Book of Mormon who were poor record keepers and those who were top notch record keepers! I thought to myself: "What kind of 'record keeper' am I?" It made me realize that I need to write in my journal every day so that I can remember the things that happened to me these two years. So I am starting to change my ways and writing in my journal each night.

May we all try our best to be 'record keepers' in the things that happen in our lives whether it be a blessing that came true, things that would change your life, or just random things that happened in your day today. Thank you all for the love and the prayers offered in my behalf; I truly feel them every single day. Take care!

Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor

Hey there!

So last week has been so crazy! The reason why I say its been crazy is because last week I was sick for a few days! I guess I am just not use to the British germs that are here. Back at home, I would never get sick; I never even needed a flu shot! Its been so insane how sick I was but no worries though; I am not sick anymore which is so wonderful!

Tomorrow is Zone Conference which is going to be so good! It has been a while since we had a big Zone Conference! Whats going to be a big challenge is that we will have to get up at around 530am so that we can catch the train into Manchester then take the bus to the chapel where the conference will be at! The life of a missionary is truly a crazy one but I wouldn't have it any other way.

In my personal study, I've been studying this question that my mission president gave to me to study. That question is: How do I develop gratitude? I truly thought about that for a little bit. I realized that we can develop gratitude for what we have by prayers of thanksgiving, selfless service to others, and living complaint free lives. As we do these things, we see that even in sore trials, that we don't have it all that bad. We have our families, friends and blessings to enjoy! There are some people who don't have those things to enjoy so remember to constantly thank your Heavenly Father for everything you do have.

Thank you for your prayers and for the love you all show to me. I love you all very much and I hope you all have a great week!

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor

Hey everyone!

So I will be staying in Crewe for another 6 weeks at least! I am so glad that I am able to stay in Crewe because we have 7 new investigators here and we hope to get a few to be baptized by the end of this transfer. I will keep you all posted on how they are doing! Oh by the way, here is the Crewe address if you want to send me a letter:

It is crazy how time flies and that I've already been out for 6 months! I need to make everyday count and not waste my time! I have been truly blessed and have learned so much about myself in these months that I probably wouldn't have learned if I were at home. The work in this mission is hastening! We have 33 new missionaries who came today (Wednesday). I am so happy to be apart of this wonderful work! I am so grateful for my Savior and Redeemer and the love that he shows me and to all of God's children! Thank you for the constant prayers in my behalf; I truly need them. Until next time, keep smiling!

Much Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)
