Hey Everyone!

So found out that I am staying in Telford for another transfer! I can't believe that I've already been out a year! Time passes by so quickly when you are in the Lord's service! Also we found out on Monday that we are having a Mission Wide Conference! But this is the best part: We will be having Apostles of the Lord come to our Conference!!!! Elder Jeffrey R. Holland & Elder Russel M. Nelson!!!! I am so excited to meet these wonderful brethren! This will be my first time meeting and seeing actual Apostles in the flesh!!!! Our misson is truly blessed! Now I have to prepare myself spiritually to hear the message of these great men and be able to apply what I learn from them!

What a great time to be a missionary in this age! I count myself as truly blessed to be apart of this work! I love this Church and this Gospel so very much and I am honored to be His authorized servant in these latter-days! Take care for now and may the Lord bless you and keep you!

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey everyone!

Before I start I want the Mabry's and Rebekah Layton to know that I will write you all ASAP! So next week is another transfer down! I cannot believe how fast this transfer has gone! Life on a mission just passes by too quickly! Also if you are too lazy to write via snail mail you can email me at: terrencet@myldsmail.net

So last P-Day, our District went to go see the oldest Iron Bridge in the world which is in our area! It was pretty amazing! I love going to museums and famous sites! I love history and Great Britain is the best place for historians to go to! It was great to hang out with the district and just have fun with each other! Last week was pretty challenging though: so many appointments fell through. But that doesn't get me down at all; we went into our Area Book to call up Former Investigators and we set up an appointment with one of them this week! Talk about tender mercy! This week is going to be super busy but we love being busy; keeps us on our toes!

I've learned so much about scripture study this week; it gives me peace and understanding in my life! It is a great blessing that I am able to study the scriptures personally for an hour! It gives me hope that one day that I can dwell with my Father in Heaven and His Son Jesus Christ again after this life! I challenge you all to start reading your scriptures daily! I promise you as you do, you will feel burdens be lightened and your desires to serve God increase! These truths I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey Everyone!

Hey Everyone!

So what a great week I had! Busy but so so good! Missionary work is just so amazing! So many great things are happening in Telford! My joy is truly full; I am a happy man!

So as you all know I had Zone Training and Interviews with the mission president! It was such an amazing experience that I had! I truly enjoyed being around my friends in the mission in this zone and also speaking with my mission president! Also I had a great time at the BBQ service that we did for the Relief Society! It was my first time BBQing on my mission! I truly enjoyed my time there serving others. Tomorrow we are going back up to Crewe for another Zone meeting and activity! I am totally excited for it! Helping others makes me feel so great, I truly have loved serving here in Great Britain

As a missionary, you truly feel the Savior's love for others and I can truly say that I love the people here in Telford; they are strong people who know what they want and strive to get it! I am grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ and His love for me and for all of God's children. What a friend we have in Jesus! :) Well I hope you have a great week!

Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hi All

Hey Everyone!

Well Happy early 4th of JULY for those in the Good ol' US of A!!!! I love that holiday so much but its ok; the ward is having a BBQ!!!! They aren't celebrating that but in my mind they are!

So this week has been so good: Me and Elder Greaves went with our ward choir to sing at a interfaith thing going on in Telford! It was SO GOOD to see other faiths that still believe in God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ! They had a different way of praising the Lord but I enjoyed it! It is so amazing how people worship God in their own ways; it goes to show that there are still people out there who love God and Jesus Christ as much as I do! I was truly happy! Very friendly and a few actually asked us what our beliefs were and we bore our true testimony through the power of music! It was a great experience that I have had on my mission and will cherish it forever!

I know that Jesus Christ lives and that this work in which I am engaged in is true! I know that we can find true happiness in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I love being a missionary and this I testify in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Love,

Elder Terrence M Taylor :)

Hey Everyone,

It is great to hear from all of you who wrote me are doing so well and enjoying the summer! Of course here summer never comes around; we've only had a few days of sunshine and now its windy, cold and rainy haha!

Well tomorrow, we have a Multi Zone Temple Conference in the morning in Chorley! We are so blessed to have a temple in our mission boudaries that we can go to to receive personal revelation from a loving Father in Heaven! I am travelling today to Manchester to stay over with the Office Elders and then in the morning drive up to Chorley! I am glad we just have to pay for the trip from Telford to Manchester One Way on the train otherwise we would of have to pay £75 to get a train both ways to Chorley! Truly a tender mercy HA!

I recently read in the Conference Ensign the talk given by President Dieter F. Uchtdorf which was entitled 'Four Titles'. I love this talk so much because it truly gave me a reminder of how I should look at myself of being and becoming someday! If you haven't read it yet I urge you all to read it no matter if you are a man or woman. You will receive so many 'spiritual nuggets'! Know that I love you all and hope that you all have a great week this week!

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)

Hey Everyone,

So just to let you all know I am still in Telford! I am also training a new missionary fresh out of the Missionary Training Center (MTC)! I am honored to be able to serve with Elder Greaves; he is an amazing missionary and has so much potential to be a powerful missionary!

So the work is going pretty well here in Telford: The ward is so good, amazing scenery, nice people and just wonderful! I am so excited that I am still here another transfer! Great things are happening here: new ward missionaries, activity nights for everyone to come to and miracles. I often ponder about how do we see miracles whether if we are a missionary or just a person who follows Christ? I have learned that they can happen every single day as long as we are worthy enough to receive such a tender mercy! As a missionary we see miracles right and left each day and so can other disciples of Jesus Christ. They key is to constantly pray for them and seek the Lord in humility to have them happen to you.

This I know because the Lord loves us so much. I know that God lives and that Jesus Christ lives! I know that we can truly be happy in this life as we strive to live the teachings of Jesus Christ as much as we can. We can then receive blessings and miracles! Talk to you all soon. I love you all!

With Love,

Elder Terrence M. Taylor :)
