hola familia,

I know you probably already sent me something on here but again i only recieved dads email.. well my week has been good, my right leg has been yelling at me because i focus on my left leg more when i work out, and vice versa, my left leg doesnt like it alot either but i am getting stronger everyday, physically and spiritually, (but i think spiritual must weigh more, because i weighed myself yesterday and after my workout i was 193 .. i wont tell you what i was before the workout.. haha) but all is well and my teaching in spanish inproves alittle everyday.. im also thinking about doing a tape recording thing sometime this yea just so that you can all HEAR how im doing.. there are alot of elders doing it but i am not sure if any of you would want to hear my voice THAT many times a year.. well ill check in later to see if there is a new email, I love you all and keep you in my prayers... o and mom.. keep babying that leg.. its a pain .. but you dont want to have any pain for the rest of your life... -speaking of life and(my vast) medical knowledge.. i saved an elders life about three weeks ago.. he was in the final stage of staff.. i took one look at it and pleaded with him to get it checked Imediatly.. he had to be takin to emergency.. and i saved a second elder in the early stages of staff about a week later.. its so fulfilling to me that i can recognise some of these things and help people. (phisically and spiritually now :D -  com mi amor.. Elder Taylor Westbrook Logan

hola mi familia,

       Good job with writing on dear elder.com i received it last night... how is your leg doing mom? I hope it heals up nice.... i am learning soo much here everyday.. this week i am learning how to teach the first lesson in spanish.. (i can if i try already, but its still hard to expain things) its literally an adventure everyday.. my schedual is pretty nice..most days its get up and get ready and be in class a few minutes before 7. then personal study until breakfast at 8:15 then class twice a day for 3 and a half hours each with different teachers.. hermano Reichert teaches grammer and lessons well and then hermano Silva knows all kinds of laguages from experience and helps us sound like natives and works almost acording to our individual needs. usually sometime in there there is anouther hour and a half for companion study and an hour and a half for language study. luch is usually at 1 and dinner at six. 5 days a week i have an hour in the Gym sometime durring the day where i usually play volleyball, and sometimes foursquare, after i run alittle over 2 miles. im trying to keep busy and go into studytime with a purpose and stay on task the whole time. but i do get overwhelmed with all the goals i set sometimes but as i take them one at a time it usually works out for the best. I have two companions. Elder Warner who is a really good missionary with a well rounded personality and then Elder Jones who i can only relate to Andrew. he is a super hard worker who still thinks the idea of getting married someday is kinda icky.. lol and you can tell that he has lived his whole life for the purpose of being a missionary. He is currenty the District leador for this swich and im the senior companion.. and I thank Andrew everyday for teaching me how to live with someone this focussed and dedicated. I love both of them and wouldn't pick any other companions to star off with for the world. Oh and i found out who my companion would have been had i reported on dec 1st and lets just say i wouldnt trade my first companions for anything .. lol i have some pictures with him that im going to print out and send home .. it takes about 7 days so dont be discouraged if you dont see them for a week or two :D -Con mi amor
