This email is written by Lisa Baton because Taylor didn't send a group email and we don't want anyone to worry or miss out on what's happening with sister Baton...
I will just share part of my letter to her. I had an awesome opportunity to go to the temple with one of the elders moms that Taylor flew out with (elder Pond) her name is Kara. We went to breakfast and the temple. It was so fun to trade stories and talk about our missionaries. While in the temple I just could hear the words to the primary song "a child's prayer", mainly pray he is there, he loves the children, speak he is listening, his love now surrounds you. I just felt overwhelming love. And know Heavenly Father is with her. I wrote to her and told her this...she replied "it's so weird to read your emails because I'll have little promptings throughout the week and things you say will match perfectly." Your head popped into my head this week with almost the exact words to that song. This week has been kind of hard because I got sick and had two days in bed ( I'm feeling a lot better now don't worry, we pumped me full of med's and orange juice) But I was feeling really annoyed with myself and was really mad that I wasn't out working when your words came to my head and I just sat and prayed to Heavenly Father and asked him for comfort and help. His answer to me was the talk about the airplane and oxygen mask. When the plane has an emergency you find that you have to put on your own mask and then you can help others with theirs. I was reminded that I am in a new country full of new things and my body just needs to get used to it. Stressing out about not being able to go out and work was just making it harder for my body to get better so I just had to relax, let my body feel better so I could then help others feel better.
One of my favorite spiritual things was yesterday we went to follow up and teach a referral we got from one of the member visits. These two cute twins their 9 and we had a thought to invite the entire family to come listen to the lesson and they did! The spirit was so strong we talked Jesus and the atonement! Now we have five new investigators possibly six when the dad makes a decision. It was so so cool! Have a great week. Mahal kita!
She is amazing and we love all the support that is shown to our family. Thank you for all the prayers and kindness!
One last thing she asked me if I could send her easy recipes to cook that don't require an oven or microwave. If you have any ideas, let me know. I'm not even sure what kind of ingredients she can get. Thanks again
Love ya
