Taylor, Happy Happy Birthday!!!


i wasn't home yesterday to put this up- because after i got em to school i grabbed up tay and spent the morning with him at the temple and having lunch. i then went to the gun range to run leagues...and work on the next three mornings of subbing in seminary! whoo hoo what fun!

anyway- tay is such a great kid and i love him through and through. :) he's so prepared to teach. i asked tay why (because in all my wisdom i had a couple of thoughts on this) the Prophet, his mission president, and our local leaders had asked him to attend the temple often until entering the MTC.

tay- just being 19 had figured it out: that he needed to have a working knowledge and testimony of the eternal nature of families if he was going to be teaching about it. also- the more that we attend, the more we are able to lead others to the temple. i explained tha many of the missionaries will not have had the opportunity- for one reason or another- to have attended much. he'll have the opportunity to help and teach them as well. he may even have missionary opportunities within the MTC.

he's sober of mind and great in spirit and has such empathy for his fellow brothers and sisters. i'm just glowing inside!

i love you tay!

He IS such a great kid! Whenever I'm talking to Braden about good examples in his life, Taylor's name always comes up. Thanks Taylor! Your life's example is already touching many people for good, and so many more to come!! Love you and Happy Birthday!
