New Area - Transfered again


Dad..
Great letter! It was full of things that i liked.

First of Changes.. I went back up to peten in an area called La Libertad. (the liberty) I am with Elder Turek from Denver colorado. I am excited for this one needless to say that im sweating really bad.. Ask mom if she can update my blog and put Peten´s weather back on instead of guatemala.

Buisness Next. Here is what I am looking for in a computer.. Also get blaine in on this.
4GB Ram
dual core possible a quad core
Video G force 512-728 im not sure on how raedon graphics cards work.
500 GB hard drive
I really like the new HP´s how they can scan your finger print. I think i like hp more than dell but i think they are also more expensive.
I am assuming that they all come with built in mics and cameras?
I dont know the diffrence between microsoft 7 and vista.. someone look into it and see if the new Microsoft games will run onf microsoft 7 when required Vista.. (yeah its alsmst been 2 years.....)
I am assuming that dad was putting down 1000. I will put down 200 as well.

OTHER BUISNESS:. I was thinking about getting a 42inch Plasma tv with HD... in guatemala they are around 10000 quetz or like 1000 to 1,250. how much could i get one for there.. also i am thinking about getting it black friday.. Can you keep your eyes out?

As for the outage/school.. here are my plans
I was thinking of what i wanted to do with my life and i decided i want to be a Xbox game tester.. LOL J/K Inspite of what everyone thinks of how i will be a good buisness person i have never thought of that.. I want a job that keeps me home so i can go to my kids dance concerts ETC.. I don´t know if some huge buisness Traveling job would suit me. I was also thinking about engineering.. but havent looked deep into ANYTHING. As for school i was assuming i was going to Snow because everyone else did.. I am interested in going to Dixie, Snow, or UVU in provo. I will look into Utah state in about 3 years.

As for my plans for getting home.. I want to get the newest games, and vegatate, but not the the extreme.. which is why i was looking into a good short time job. I want to live at home untill Augest when i start college. As goes a job at the power plant, I´m not sure who hires. I would like the be able to get a job for my work history and not a free be of the workers (you) son (me) :D. I did work for 6 months on a copper mine. Look into the jobs they will have available, how much they pay, and what requirements are needed. and im not sure how the conflict of intrest works...

By the way.... I saw Halo 3 on a high Def tv.. you at least gota see it!! The only down thing is you gota spend about 500 bucks for an xbox 360 and some games.. (dont worry im converted to the good old COMPUTER!!)

Schooling again. I will want to go to the fall semester but i dont know if i want UVU, Dixie, or snow. I have some credits over at snow.. i dont know how to look them up though.

Sounds like the devotional was good in the upper room.. Why exactly did you do it? I know mom´s talented. you 2 are the best!!

Anyway thats what i got.. there are a few more pictures on flickr.. Please foreward this to mom and the rest.. I dont want to do anything but click send!! i think it will log me out or something.!

Once again THANKS FOR THE GREAT EMAIL!!

um this week was a good one. Nothing much happened.. We talked to Walter yesterday about babtism and still seems lost. We have a home evening with him tonight.
I´m not sure what else to write.. changes are in 2 weeks and i hope i go!

Questions!
Who is he? Elder Griffin Schone
Where is he from? He is from Dixie
How long have you been together? 2 weeks
How is his attitude? he has a good attitude but if he gets sidetracted its over.. I have struggled to keep him going because we've got of track too much.
Do you get along? yes we get along great
How do you feel about training? im sick of training and cant wait to come home :D
Any troubles with language? I still cant speak spanish.. But I´m still here
Favorite foods? Pizza, cafe Rio, anything now (its a hard world here)
Quirks? I dont know what a quirk is..
How is the work going? It sucks. we still have nobody to visit
Have you started getting familiar with the area? yes but i dont know many people
Are the members there helpful? NO!!
What's the weather like right now? warm.

Volentary information. I saw two guys fighting on the bus. One was Drop dead drunk and the other looked like he was 18. I just bought a knife and was thinking about protecting myself but i didn´t feel the need.. They just threw some words back and forth, as well as some fists and some wrestling but this drunk guy was serious. He chased the kid out of the bus and we were on our way.

This knife is sick its a double sided switch blade. Like Darth Maul´s lightsaber.. and cost me 5 bucks!

Oct 5 2009


Guatemala has received the new LDS version of the Biblia. Members camped out to receive a copy. They were sold out in 2.5 hours. Taylor received one, but gave it to Elder Martenez before he went home.
well i want to say this week went well but that would be a lie.. I would also be lieing if i said it was bad..For all of you who have served missions yes, We dont have investigators and i also got a new companion.
. It seems like i am always starting over. THis is the 3rd companion i have had to teach in 2 months.

Today we had interviews, We were supposed to be there at 11, president didnt show up till like 1:30, Im pretty tired.
Elder Ireland gave me a suit this week .. Its a gray pinstripe suit. It fits me well.. He gave it to me because he bought his 3rd suit in a paca for 2 dollars (self owned cheep clothing store). I Like it.!
Anyway.. No investigators.. And im really bored of my area and dont want to be in it :D

anyway thanks for the letters.. No lasers yet..

Love ya all Laq´ Che´
Elder Taylor Wood
