A Day in the Life ....

Taylor said that he is working hard doing missionary work during the day, spends a great deal of time hoping it isn't raining and enjoys relaxing during his off time in his hammock. He loves the people, and appears to enjoy getting out and seeing waterfalls etc.

The roads are pretty rough on him. Made of cobblestones, they are hard to walk on, and cause him to turn his ankle often. This has been a hard thing for him. He is prone to turning his ankle on flat, paved roads, so he turns them often, sometimes weekly.

The Elders have to be on their guard a little bit. Some of the people have yet to be trained/taught about the "Missionaries don't date while on their missions" rule. They have to guard against that.

Taylor had a member ask him about getting the PAF 5.0 or 5.2 update. The only problem is that Spanish PAF is only in the 4.0 version. I don't know the differences between the 4.0 and 5.2 but the 4.0 seems to work fine. Good luck with that.

All of this worrying about how hard this mission would be for Taylor, and I was wrong. He DOES have a shower. In fact, it sounds like most of the places he may serve have showers, with the exception of those serving in the Mayan language areas.
