letter dated 01/02/12

hi mom!!
so grandma told me you guys didn't go skiing. which is a bummer cause i know the boys were looking forward to it but hey that means i didn't miss out on too much! haha so i usually make a list of things i am going to write in my email through out the week so i can remember what to write and today i forgot it so i'm going to trying and go from memory which is really difficult cause i'm gonna forget a ton and probably repeat myself cause everything meshes into one giant day! so this week juliana got baptized!! i talked to you guys about her on the phone. she is 14 years old and the bishops daughter invited her to a mutual activity and ever since then juliana has been coming! she LOVES the gospel. she said it just fills this space and this emptiness she was feeling. she has had a really rough childhood and had been jumping from church to church searching for the one that felt right and wellllllll her she is now baptized! she said she felt so much peace afterward that it was the best feeling she has ever had and that she never wants it to go away! it was so cute last night after she got baptized she texted us and was like "that was amazing!!!!!!!! now what do i do??" haha i was like well write down in a journal about how you feel and then NEVER forget it. she is so excited about her brand new start and life and man she is just grabbing the bull by the horns and runnin! (i dont think that is even possible but still thats what she is doing!) haha
well i saw sister baylon and sister balmforth this week!! it made me SO happy to see friends. they save me more than the know... we had a family home evening with president and sister weaver and their kids that came to visit them and the whole mission was invited so thats where i saw my old companions. i love seeing them!
oh so! we have been working out with this army chick in our ward and man she is crazy!! i have been SO sore all week! we have been doing some way crazy workouts and i'm just a little shrimp... everyone thinks cause i'm tall and skinny that that automatically means i'm athletic... and i'm like uhh no i am such a wimp haha but ya its been fun her name is tiffany and she is hardcore and has a gnarly six pack haha so dont expect anything less than that when i get home...... haha sike! we've been running the narrows bridge a couple of times a week so google it and you'll see part of what i see everyday :) wellll i can't remember what else i'm supposed to tell you..... i don't have a crazy story that i can remember... haha i love you and miss you! hope you had a blast in utah and have a happy new year!!
love tay
