Good-bye CTM!

Crazy to say but its finally here! i am outa here! i am so stoked to go into the real world and bring people this amazing gospel and bring the light into their eyes. that they will be able to be happy, no matter what the situation is in the world. i've been lucky enough to grow up with this knowledge in my life now its my time to help others have what I am so happy to have.
so i gotta start out by throwing a HUGE shout out to you Máe! you hooked it up with the tapatio, the sweet and sour sauce and all that other amazing stuff in the package with Elder Shields.. i cannot tell you how stoked i was, especially to find out that they dont have Sweet and Sour sauce here it brazil!! the one reason i could never live here. so funny how i wrote about it earlier, than later that day i got some from you. i was so stoked. one of the sauces popped and was all in the bag so what did i do?! haha yup, i was licking the bag. pretty gross, but hey ive had some crazy withdrawls from not having my share of S&S sauce and it was a wonderfull reunion to finally have some again. my Braseleito didnt know what the sauce was, and since i was freaking out about it he wanted to try it so i had him lick some as well and he thought it was so gross he ran and brushed his teeth. they just dont respect the s&s sauce, atleast plain that it. and tapatio... ive had so many consecutive meals since week where ive left the cafateria sweating because i put so much on it. i've let two people touch my tapatio but people cant even look at my s&s sauce, i need to be more like Cristo and share i guess, but hey im trying. and jump rope too, its been so awesome to have. to finally get such a good workout. youre the best. and Pai youre right, mom does spoil me way to much. but ill take it! im one lucky son.

 at 4 today i get a pizza party as well as a couple other kids so we are gonna munch so hard! ill need it because i hear you get so skiny up north. but luke that doesnt mean youll be bigger than me. love you so much bud keep up the amazing work. keep growing and making all my friends feel short. haha im excited i have two years till i have to worry about coming home to be embarrassed by how much taller and more studly you are than me!!
so the language is coming along wonderul thanks to the girft of tounges i know that with it is the only way i am speaking the way i am right now. what an amazing belssing and gift that is. guess what we got to do this week.. go PROSELITING! (no clue how to spell that in english sorry my minds blanked)  but how awesome?! we got to go out of the boundaries around the CTM and pass out Livros de Mormon! it was the coolest thing ever! dont get me wrong, at first i was so nervous thinking holy cow i have to go talk to people in a language ive been learning for one month but knew that if i had faith, just like in all the million scriprtures about faith, that all this are possible and then i was so pumped. me and my comp said i prayer then went out and the portuguese flew! a true testiment to the gift of tounges. later that night trying to talk to my teachers i couldnt talk as good as i could when i was out in the streets. thats what im so excited to feel as well once im out in the field. i know it will be super hard, but nevertheless so worth it! we wound up handing out several book of mormons and talking to so many people and actually being able to communicate. even busted out my manderin "wo sure shun di hidza" excuse my spelling morgan. haha there was someone from tiwain who barely spoke portuguese i told him i could speak manderin and he lit up! haha just say my nehow and then let the i am a child of God rip. he thought it was funny but it was great, you could say that was by the gift of tounges as well haha.
next time i write ill be in some part of nothern Brazil. cannot wait!  one more fun fact about Joao Pessoa is there are gnarly bugs up there. haha this one you will love mom.. get this, theres a bug thats a little bigger than an ant called a Poró. this thing doesnt sting you but take a wild guess what it does! haha the thing pees on you! and to top it all off guess what the pee does.. gives you second degree burns from its trail of urin where ever it walks!! haha from pee! how funny is that. ahh i cant wait.
 isto igreja é verdedeiro. Pai, eu estou indo para fazer muito bom journal entries como voce disse.
this church is so true. i could very well have taught severl families by the time you get my next email. i can not wait. read pray and keep the commandments everyday with exactness, we will feel the love of God and see him bless out lives. i love you all so much, off to Blythe baby!!  
Love Elder Taylor
