Now Reporting Live From Las Vegas....Elder Taylor

Hey there everyone.....Hello from Las Vegas....It is a totally different world down here.....yesterday I saw a sign that said "Support your local stripper".....and that's when I knew I was really in Las Vegas.....oh yeah that, and the fact that when we go anywhere in our area we can see most casinos on the strip......so that helps as well.
Well I'm in the Las Vegas Zone and my Companion is Elder Russell....he is actually from Camas Washington, and I didn't know where that was until he told me....it's next to Vancouver......in Washington across from Portland.....so he is from pretty close....he actually went to Remington's for mission clothes and Ron told him that he actually knew someone who was in this mission and that would be me! So small world, eh???? I will send my picture card this next week maybe and you will get to see a little bit of G-ville and some parts of Vegas......We live in a 2 bedroom apartment with some other Elders....they actually are spanish elders and right now we have one phone line so I'm always afraid to answer the phone when they aren't home because I have no idea what they are saying so...that has made life interesting....we actually just moved into a new place in the same complex, just bigger.....so it is kind of weird though....We live in the Ghetto....really it's the Ghetto....don't worry mom.....it's awesome. I love it......I'm so sick of dealing with rich people...they never want to listen.....and speaking of listening we have 5 people that should be baptized be the end of March so that is really cool....first time of being double transfered and there will actually be missionary work going on in the area.....so it is really nice....one other problem is, we don't have a car even though we are supposed to....it's ok. Elder Sanderson just became one of the Assiatants to President McCracken so I have a hook up....OH, and the fact that the mission president knows my Grandparents....Oh yeah! I got the Hello from you guys when I met him on Wednesday....it was sad though to say good-bye to President Andrus...we got to say good-bye on Wednesday when I got to Las Vegas....so that was really sad....but life will, literally, go on for him....he was very emotional......but I'm excited to get to know the new mission president....I love you guys so much and I hope you all have a great week.

Love,
Elder Taylor
