Letter # 3 (Aug 17, 2011)

Hey all,
Why so many questions in the last dear Elder? I don't have all the time in the world... joke lang.
Almost everyone in our district of ten got hit somehow be the illness. Even I got a runny nose for a couple of days. Now friends get mail before family cause usa(1), i can email you and duha(2), cause i did.
The investigators are actually our teachers. we have two teachers cause they study at BYU sometimes and only have us half days each. At first though we didnt know that our first investigator was our teacher until she turned up one day and started teaching us. Cool huh?!
My schedule is basically two 3hr classes, 1hr language study, two 1hr personal/companion study, 45mins breakfast, lunch and dinner, and 1 gym session each day. Pdays is laundry for 3hrs, temple for 3hrs, devotional fireside and district meeting for 3hrs and everything inbetween is personal time. We only have to wear suits on Sunday or to firesides and meetings with the Branch Pres.
Lunch and dinner... well you'll see in the pictures and yes, there is bar freezers with icecreams or iceblocks which you can just grab and eat at lunch or dinner or breakfast even... but only if they have restocked them.
For the blog though, just let everyone know I'm doing well and enjoying myself, especially eating food and gaining weight...(still only 61kg, so dont get too worried). Ive also been exercising to keep healthy. For the blog post this up for me please:

Nagtuo ko sa Dious ug kang JesuKristo. Nasayud ko nga tinuod ang simbahan ni JesuKristo. Nasayud ko nga tinuod ang Basahon ni Mormon ug sa pulong sa Dios. Nasayud ko nga tinoud ang propeta si Joseph Smith. Nasayud ko nga ang ebanghelyo ni JesuKristo nagpalig-on sa mga pamilya. Sa ngalan ni JesuKristo, Amen.
Naghigugma ko kanamo.

Thats just a short testimony in Cebuano and me just letting everyone know that i love them.
I hope everything is well with you all in Australia. Have fun this week.
Much love, and missing you all, nahigugma ko kanamo,
Elder Taylor Addison Cox


From Terri:
As you can see, Taylor is learning the language quite easily. (Well it looks like it to me!!) So through the blog you'll see bits and pieces of his letters with Cebuano written through them. That is how he practices as well.
