Hello my dear family and friends!  This is once again, your most favoritest missionary, Elder Taylor! This week was my first EVER week in the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC)! And it has been absolutely AMAZING! But first, let me tell you about the journey that was the beginning of this week. (Some of you complained about the length of my email last week, so sorry if this is also crazy long.

Jacob will have just one week of MTC in our home, but he is determined to make the most of his experience here.
