This week was a pretty good week,
And technology is amazing!!
Were I am we don't have the opportunity to watch conference on time,
we get it about a month later in the Church magazine, and when they
send the films to the mission. but.... with in 5 Min of The
announcement of a temple in star Valley I knew.
I will never forget the spot where I was standing when I received the news!
My companion and I were just returning from exploring and finding a
members home, It is sufficient to say we were off the beaten
trail... ha ha. we were in a place called "Grass Fields", its a
meadow at the base of a mountain so we were crossing some Creeks and
jumping some streams to get back to the road side, we were about
about a mile from the closest road, (You have to remember I'm in
Africa, so this grass isn't the 2 in green stuff in front of our
house, this is West Africa Rain Forest grass, granted I'm a short
person, but the grass is taller then me. ha ha
As we were making our way back, I received a two text messages one
from the office Elders and the other from the Mission Presidents
wife... both stating they just announced a temple in SV!!!!!!
I truly felt complete Joy. I just looked at my companion and said
" I am in the middle of the Jungle, in AFRICA, and I just
Heard they Are building a temple to worship God, in STAR VALLEY!!
The only thing that could make this moment an greater is, if you were
an attractive girl..."
I don't think he understood my humor, (Different Cultures
I guess... ha ha. )
But all things aside, I am so happy right now,
I pray and hope they are not done building it by the time I come home,
because I want to help build it, even if it is only helping sweep up
the work site. I really want to help.
I hope every one is well, tell every one Hi,
Love Elder Taylor
P.S. I guess its a good thing that every girl Ive dated is already
married... because I can now get married in the Star Vally Temple.
Blessings for serving a full time mission! ha ha
