Hey Everyone,

Thank you again for the birthday wishes! My mom told me many of you wrote or told her to wish me a happy birthday! For that I am grateful! :) Also Lisa Tenney I got your letter and I will be writing you as soon as I can! :)

So this week was pretty good and really busy! So remember I wrote about Dan last week.... so he actually ditched out on us and we weren't able to reach him! GRRRRRrrr..... all well keep pressing forward. Other than that, we've had great success with our other investigators! Also the Bishop and his counselors have been helping us in our missionary work here in the area! They have prayed and fasted for a few areas that we will be working in. We received the appointed areas on Sunday and now we will be doing our best to constantly do work in those areas! We can't wait to see the miracles that will happen as we work in the areas we have been asked to work in! I love being apart of this work and the Holy Spirit that dwells within me!

I know that this work is true and that it is the work of Almighty God and that no unhallowed hand can stop the work! As Conference time comes around let us be spiritually prepared to receive what the Lord would have us do to better our lives! How I love my Saviour Jesus Christ! These truths I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! :)

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey Everyone!

So this week has been great! So many great things are happening here in Birkenhead! Let me share a miracle that happen to us a few days ago:

So the first week we were here we spoke to this man named Dan on the train on his way to Moreton! We spoke to him, gave him a Book of Mormon and gave him a pass along card with our number on there. After he left, we realized that we had the wrong number on there! We were so frustrated! We thought all was lost but then we realized that we may see him again or he may get on the mormon.org website so we were at peace. Then just a few days ago we were on a bus going to contact an Investigator. We then saw Dan get on the bus!!!! We greeted him friendly and asked how he was doing! He said he was doing well! We then asked him if he read the Book of Mormon and he said he did and that he read half of it already!!!!! He then said he was trying to phone us but it wasn't the right number and then we told him we also realized that we gave him the wrong number. We then gave him our correct number and set up a time to meet with him this week!!!! WHAT A MIRACLE!!!!!

I know that the Lord is truly preparing people to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ at this very moment and that we can truly be that way of having people come unto Him! This I leave with you in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! :)

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey Everyone!

So last week has been so good and I am looking forward to this week! We will be having a Skills Workshop in Manchester that we will be going to! :) Can't wait to sharpen my skills as a missionary!

Last week was really good! It is such a nice area that I am serving in! The members take care of us and make sure that we are fine. Me and Elder Razanadahy are finding great people and teaching amazing folks! The Lord has truly blessed us! The work here in Moreton is going pretty well! We are seeing great miracles happen and we keep praying for miracles to happen!

I know that Jesus Christ lives and that He loves us! He gave his life for us so that we can live also! I know that Joseph Smith saw God the Father and Jesus Christ the Son and called him to be a prophet to do a great and marvellous work on the earth! I am grateful to be the Lord's representative here in Great Britain; I've come to know my Saviour better and have grown in testimony of Him. Words cannot describe my feelings about the Saviour. How I love my Saviour Jesus Christ. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen! :)

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey everyone!

So I am officially in my new area which is called Birkenhead which is right on the Irish Sea and right across from Liverpool! My new companion's name is Elder Razanadahy(say that 5 times fast) from Madagascar! We are whitewashing this area! I really like it so far! My birthday is coming up on the 25th of September so if you would like to send me a letter you could send it to the mission office (if it is a package it can ONLY be sent to the office) or you can write me at the following address:

Elder Terrence Taylor

Flat #10 Queen's Court

65-67 Shrewsbury Rd.

Oxton Wirral, Cheshire CH43 6TE

England, U.K.

I cannot believe how fast time is going on my mission! It has made me realize how valuable time is in the service of the Lord and that I should not waste any time out here to bring others to Christ! In my scripture studies, I've been studying about Courage. One account that always sticks out to me is the account with the Shepard boy David and the Giant Goliath which is found in 1 Samuel 17. If you haven't read it I suggest you do! David showed courage by stepping up to Goliath in the name of the Lord. David's response to Goliath is so thrilling to me: "Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. This day the will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand...that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel. And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give you into our hands.(v. 45-47)" As David did we too with the Lord's help conquer any 'giant' obstacles, trials and pains we face in this world. I know that to be true and this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Hey everyone!

So last week we went on a Church History tour as a mission! It was such a wonderful experience to go and see some of the Church History Sites in Liverpool, Preston and Downham! Such a wonderful time we had! We also had the chance to have trainings in the St. Leonard Chapel where Elder Heber C. Kimball and Elder Joseph Fielding taught a few people there! What a spiritual experience that was! The Lord has blessed me to come to this mission; I love my mission!

A scripture that I've come to love has been D&C 68:4! This is a promise to missionaries (Full Time or Life Time) that follow the promptings of the Spirit and are then moved upon by the Spirit! POWER! That is something for you all to ponder!

Also transfers are next Wednesday! I will know where I will be by this Friday or Saturday! I will keep you all posted! Take care for now! :)

Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey Everyone!

Last week was a pretty good week! We have a new investigator by the name of Julia! She is in her 60's and she has a love for God and for her community! The Sisters who serve with us had a baptism that was suppose to happen but their investigator was afraid and wanted to have more time to prepare; but gathering together wasn't in vain. We invited Julia to come to the baptismal service and she came. Since the baptism wasn't happening, we decided to take her on a little tour around the chapel. She loved it! When we showed her the Bishop's office, she went in, gazed at the picture of the Savior and started to tear up! We knew that she felt the Spirit and that the Spirit testified to her that Jesus is the Christ! What a miracle that was! Also last Sunday (yesterday) me and the other full time missionaries prepared talks on 'The Gospel Rolling Forth in THIS LAND'. The Spirit was in rich abudance among us! Sister Martin, a missionary from Canada, spoke with boldness and sharpness about how the preaching of the Gospel and the work should NOT be shouldered on 4 young foriegners wearing name badges ONLY but all of us should shoulder the work together. I had the privilege to sing Hymn #220 Lord I Would Follow Thee. After the musical item, I then had my opportunity to speak to the Telford Ward. I began to be moved upon by the Holy Ghost to convey the same message that all the full time missionaries conveyed but with emotion. I hope and pray that they may 'Catch the Wave' of missionary work.

I know that God lives and that Jesus is the Christ! I know that this Church is true and that it is led by Christ himself and has chosen Prophets, Seers and Revelators to guide us in these latter days! I am so grateful that I have found this knowledge, that I have found the kingdom of God on the earth and eternally grateful that true lifelong missionaries shared with me their beliefs! We are all apart of a great and marvellous work! May God continue to bless you and keep you! In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)
