Bucking Hay On My Birthday!

Hey Hey!
Thank you to everyone for the e-cards, real cards and just plain thinking about me on my 21st birthday…Well, what a day right????
21, I just can’t believe it….it really happened and I feel like I’m still in high school….OK, not quite that bad but I still feel pretty young and now I am over half way to 40….what’s up with that????

Just kidding! I’m really not that worried and I had a great birthday….Well, my Zone Leaders, who I live with, went out and bought birthday donuts….that is always a good gift…..plus a great way to start the day…..then I got to go do some service… .I got to Buck Hay!Yeah, that’s right... I bucked some Hay. It was a lot of really hard work….but was a great learning experience and I had a ton of fun….we did it for non member who asked our ZL’s for help…well, with them trying to surprise me the way I did to Elder Settle, this was the best chance, right? Well they didn’t quite get me, but it was the thought that counts….I got mom and dad's gifts and stuff on the actual day and I got Chanel's last Monday…..I opened it and made sure everyone I say knew “CUBS WIN…CUBS WIN!” Chanel, that was awesome! Perfect, I might dare say. Then we went out to lunch…We went to Chili's Restaurant and had a great time. I have some pics and some videos, but I will just send the card home soon so you can see them then. T,hanks to everyone again for everything that you sent or thought, or what ever.

Well on the missionary work side...Holy cow….that’s what I have to say. We had a lot to do last week and we have a lot to do this week, but I think it will all work out. First, I went on splits and we were in Dayton. That area covers Virginia City, and I wanted to go and work up there….it was lot of fun to try and talk to people. I must say I had a great time on splits…Then Saturday we had interviews with President McCracken. Then we took him to an appointment with us…that was kind of fun….I had a great time with him at the lesson and it was nice to have him come out with us for a little bit….we had Stake Conference this past weekend as well…It was a really a good time. Elder Richardson, an Area Seventy, was there and he was the one that did the most talking to us…it was really good though, and everyone had a great time....we even had a few investigators there, so that was really nice too.
Well, this week we have zone conference and so that should be a pretty big day. Then we have a baptism this Saturday, as I mentioned earlier...

Well I hope you know that I love you so much...sorry that this email is short and that it doesn't have maybe as much detail as you would like, but know that I love you all so much and am grateful to have you all in my life to help me in any way you have....again I love you all, have a great week.

Love,
Elder Geoff Taylor
