letter #43 (May 30th, 2012)

Hey all,
I completely forgot it was 10 months!!! But that's probably because I
keep thinking about how close my birthday is and my 1 year mark...
time has really flow by...!

The last couple of days the AP's have been in our area and then in our
district and we've been having fun with them teaching out in the bukid
and having District meeting
We got stuck yesterday waiting for the rain to stop in a members
house. It was ridiculously heavy and took forever to stop... we were
going to go up the bukid to teach our less-actives there but we
thought better of it after seeing the black clouds rolling down the
bukid and were really glad we didnt go up there when it started
raining.

Elder Nelson gave a great take on learning things around the pulpit
and not from the pulpit. About listening to the impressions of the
Spirit as we listen with our ears to the words of the speakers and
then writing it down. I'll have to remember to bring my notes next
time and write some things i learnt and felt.
And we havent moved house just yet BUT both the Croppers and Sis
Schmutz just love it (they came and checked it out last Friday and
said all the other missionaries are going to want to transfer to Zambo
now... jejeje). We will probably move in this coming Friday, if not
than this week some time (cause others wise they have to pay extra for
the house we are in at the moment as the rent is up again next month
on the 3rd or so)

So with the transfers, it turns out that the ZLs dont have a meeting
in Cebu so Elder Dela Cerna will leave on Tues morning by himself and
catch a bus to Cebu, while I stay in Bacong Dumaguete and work with
the ZL's in their area until my companion arrives on that Friday.

Miss you and love you all,
Elder Taylor Addison Cox
