Elder Wood, Elder Argumeda, and Elder Tzunux - Taylor's first companion in the field and his last companion before transferring to Peten.

el Trebol, Peten

What day do you get released? Jan 19th
How long to you want to sight see? Not quite sure.. Tikal is a 5 hour deal, not to mention a 8 hour drive one way!

Transfers effect you today? Sure did!!! How does PETEN sound? That means i will be seeing Tikal on the 13th. I changed places with an elder in peten. Get this Distric Leader.. yah.. thats what i thought... Anyway my companion is Elder Castro.. he is from Honduras but speaks perfect English.. Did i mention that his dad is in the 70.. Personally i think that President Torres is punishing me in a verry Nice way (I mean im in peten for crying out loud as a District Leader) Anyway He seems really cool. Ohh ya about peten.. It was 116.2 degrees last thursday.. Im freaking dieing of heat here.. I feel like Im swimming in a AIR pool. I mean seriously 116.2 WITH THE HUMIDITY:: THATS INSANE

We are thinking about putting your bed in Nikki's room and her's in yours.
You won't have any extra space if we do that but sleeping will be better

when you come back. You okay with that? I come home in 10 months.. you can plan places to visit... About my room... Just dont touch my hotwheels.. IF i dont like it i can always whine and change it next year.. Go for it!!

Sounds like Kim had a good experience in Phoenix. We all learn from mistakes. But some mistakes we can enjoy.. At least you have a car.. i remember buying a RETAIL LIST of computer monitors.. luckily we got our money back... just enjoy the new car and i will enjoy smelling like a dog in 115 degree weather..!!

Anyway my area is El Trebol 2 (trebol means clover like with the cards...) there is a sick lake in Flores Peten and we are like 10 to 15 minutes away.. Anyway... Sorry i couldnt write yesterday.. I was on an 8 hour bus ride.. I sent some pictures of my travel buddies.!!

Thats all for this week.. we have zone conference next week..
Elder Taylor Wood

March Zone Conference

Thanks el Presidente y Hermana for the fotos.

Well another week gone. i still have a little cough and some flem but its nothing like it was before.. at least i can walk up a hill without dieing! This week was decent. once again we are found with NO investagaters. but needless to say we have been working with the ETERNAL investagaters. Specifically a 16 year old kid named Nestor. I have been working with him for 4 months now.. he has been in church and seminary for about 7 months now. When we finally babtized him yesterday.

We also had the WORST day on saturday.. Suposably we had to plan an activity to do but they young single adults said they would do it so we didnt worry about it.. Needless to say we didnt do ANYTHING that day!! but what can you do?

Well this next monday we have changes... so i dont know what will happen.. I think my companion will go to coban and speak a mayan language (he knows 1 mayan language but he will have to learn another but they are slightly simaliar.

anyway thanks for the letters.. as of now we are dried up as an area.. and changes next week.. But thats all.. no questions this week. Mom can you find out how many people are living in delta... so i can say how big my home town is.. alot of ppl ask

The Hair Game

14 months

Well another week past. Still sick but doing a little better!
This week was normal. First of all.. I started buying a few Dvd´s I though why not. they are like a buck fifty and i can get 1 to 3 movies on a disk.

Next we did a little bit of service. Like working on the REAL mine! I exited with minor injuries. Like the war in Vietnam but worse.. I was getting shot at from every direction!! We would use a pick axe and hit the rocks when the rocks really started flying. HIT THE DECK!!! or SNIPER!!! whichever you want to use. Rocks flying around like bullets!! Just then A Zinger right into Private Xcaban!! A fatality!! MAn.. a few died but i tried my hardest to be humble and save them.. Then i decided, (after a spliting blown blister) I gota save my self.!! So thats what i did. Running to Home base with the 7 up in hand!! But seriously.. I coulda died!

Anyway.. nothing much is new,, Still sick.. But a little better
Anyway thanks for the letters.. not sure what else to write..
Wood

He's smiling ....

so it must be okay.

Well, Taylor didn't really tell us anything about these pictures, but since he is still hitch-hiking we'll assume that he just liked the looks of this one.
