Tayler - April 28, 2014

it feels like i havent even been here that long but i have already been here for three weeks it feels like yesterday a was getting off the plane. the language is hard i can read pretty good and can make sense of most of what i read but when people talk i still can understand anything, they talk pretty fast and they just have a weird way of pronouncing stuff so i am still trying to get used to that. my companion is really nice and he is always telling me my spanish is really good but i think he is just trying to be nice cause in reality i suck at spanish, but we get a long good and the zone leaders who live with us i really like also one is form colombia and the other is from utah. im not sure what my mailing address is right now but i will find out and tell you next week or i think it might be in the packet i got with my mission call cause all mail just goes to the main office and then we get it from there but i will make sure and let you know next week. also im not sure if we will be able to skype on mothers day or just call cause for skype we have to find a member that we can use their computer but in order to skype i need to have a skype account already set up because we arent allowed to make one here. i havent really needed to use any of my money while i have been here cause we really dont have any time to go buy stuff and when i do buy stuff it never costs that much so i can just use the money that i get from the church. so you can but the money in my bank or whatever and send me the card later, and tell the robertsons thank you for me. its crazy to think lexie will leave in just a few weeks thats going to be super awesome. well i wish i had more pictures of where i work, but im scared to take my camera because it just feel skechy. so maybe oneday i will get some pictures. i will talk to you next week. i love you

easter was weird this year. it didnt really feel like easter because i wasnt home. it was just like any other sunday. one good thing though is a lot of the members gave us easter eggs and the easter eggs here are very different. the whole egg is made of chocolate and then they put these little candies kindof like m&ms inside of the eggs and they taste super good the chocolate is super good very tastey. but holy cow missions are tough. all we do is walk and walk and walk all day long and teaching people is really hard for me because i dont really know how to communicate my thoughts on things and relate it to the people we are teaching so its really hard for me to get to know people i feel like i am just an extra but as i get used to the accent of argentina and the language i feel like i can do my part more in the future. for easter lunch cause they dont eat dinner here a member made us like some spaghetti stuff with sauce and cow stomach wich was different but not bad. then we just worked the rest of the day like any other normal sunday. but being on a mission and teaching people about jesus christ i have really learned a lot more about the significance of easter and i am able to see how the sacrifice of the savior can help alot of people and its very cool. other than that this week has been pretty good we had a baptism on saturday wich was cool to be a part of. also we are teaching this really old guy and he is kind of deaf and im not sure if he actually learns anything cause he just sits there and if we ask him a question he just answeres by saying why not every time. so we asked hem to pray at the begining of the lessen and he said why not so we waited for like a minute and a half for him to start and he never did so i couldnt help my self i thought it was super funny so i started laughing and couldnt stop for the rest of the lesson wich we tried to do pretty quick because we both couldnt stop laughing. that was pretty funny. well thats all i have this week i will talk to you next week. i love you

So i wanted to get up early and email you this so you can read it today. We had the coolest devotional ever on sunday. It started as a normal devotional. We got there really early like usual and we didn't know who the speaker was going to be yet. So we just sat for a while then they showed the speaker was Richard Elliott who is if you dont know a tarbernacle choir organist. So we didn't really know who he was but as we were singing the prelude hymns I saw everybody craning their necks trying to look up at the stand. I couldn't see anyone so I asked the Elder sitting next to me and lo and behold David Archuleta was sitting on the stand. Apparently he had just got home from his mission that week and was here at the MTC. So the devotional went on. Brother Elliot played We thank the oh God for a Prophet, How great thou art, some song that Bach wrote that I don't remember, and the last song he played was Go tell it on the Mountain. He played the last song with the foot pedals and that was super cool he is way talented. Then David Archuleta got up and talked to us a little about his mission in Chile. After that he sang Be still my soul, Come Come ye Saints, with the third verse in Spanish, Then he sang Hark all ye Nations, he sang the first 2 verses then we all sang the last one with him. So I sang with David Archuleta which is pretty cool. And brother Elliott played the piano while he sang. So that is my devotional email which was super cool and I wanted to tell you.
