hello! so this is my e-mail and i get to use it only on p-days and only for 30min but i can e-mail as many people as i want to in that 30 min. So hows everything going? have you got any of my letters? well ive sent 2. so you know i tried printing off pictures so to send to you but the stupid things that read it in the mtc bookstore wont read 80% of sd cards, like mine, and guess what mine was one of those 80%... so i'll try to get you some as soon as possible. they have disposable cameras here too so i might do that. and the computers they have here can't download pictures or send them. my companion's might work so we will try that a little later. so how is everything going? i'm doing great here! its so amazing i'm so glad i came!!!! so i thought i would tell you about yesterday! yesterday was probably the day that changed me so much! it started off with us going to a teaching appointment. Me and my comp. where so nervous but it was probably the most powerful expereince ever! We tought him the first lesson and it was an actual guy so it was way different from what i was use to. i have never had the spirit tell me so storngly to say something before! and at the end he asked to give a prayer and it was one of the most strongest and powerful and sincere prayers i've ever heard in my life! he prayed for us me and elder willams and our families and the people we would be teaching. it was so strong and so powerful both me and edler willams started to cry in the middle of the prayer. so that was the frist thing then later that night we went to the referal center. which is where people call to recieve all the free stuff that the church offers and can call. so i called this one girl shes 18 and live in mississippi. i was on the phone with her for about 12 min. she told me about everything in her life and whats going wrong. first off her parents just died so she moved in with her brother. and i guess they both work during the night so she watches there new born. but they just got seperated so she is getting kicked out of that house at 18. she also goes to work full time and school full time. just listening to her story and everything that she was saying about her life i could feel the spirit and felt so bad for her. but i told her i would keep track of her and make sure she was ok and i got her to have the missionaries come over to bring a book of mormon! :) it was awesome!!! that was amazing!! well thats just a couple of the expereinces i've had! also my district gave a blessing to a elder in our district. that was so amazing!! he is now quarentined for the flu but it was still an amazing expereince!!! Well i have to go! e-mail me back! the dear elders letters or whatever get here way quick so thats a good way to get a hold of me! but my letters take a while to send! LOVE YA!! talk to you soon!!! my e-mail is taylordowns@myldsmail.net!!!LOVE, ELDER DOWNS!!!!
