Twice in a Week!

We got lucky enough to hear from Taylor twice a week for 2 weeks! His time got split up because of some service projects.

Dear Family,

     
So honestly, there usually isn't a whole lot to tell everyone considering I just wrote the day before last, but this will be my last time writing twice a week, so I might as well take advantage of it. So.... something exciting! Wednesday, a guy in our Zone left for Peru, so we had a party and his brother sent a can of silkworms, so a few of us tried them (including me)! Actually there were only about six of us who could keep them down, they were sooooo gross! They were actually pretty big, and when you bit into them, all the juice came out and it was very nasty. 

This reminds me... there is a guy in my District with a friend at the Dominican MTC. He wrote a few days ago saying that the whole MTC ate some bad chicken, and that all of the American's had worms and other parasites really bad all week - throwing up and uhhh, well, you know....But sounds like it's gonna be an adventure! I'm actually a little sad to leave because my District is so cool, but I'm sure new experiences await!

DR Guys

I was able to see Matt at breakfast before he left, and it was so weird! I’m not going to see him for two years! It just hasn’t set in yet I guess. And Greg came and visited the night before he left, and we talked for a while, and he wanted to do the "Hurrah for Israel" cheer thingy so we did (hahaha that kid cracks me up)!

     
So we watched the Joseph Smith movie on Sunday night, and the whole first like 20 minutes was about when Joseph was little, and it shows a lot about Alvin, his older brother, and how much Joseph looked up to him, and it really made me miss the boys... I kinda miss being an older brother if that makes much sense. And the rest of the family at that, don't worry mom but I know that me being out here is the best example i can set for them.

    
 Anyway. How's life in good 'ol AZ? Is it warm still? How's school going - just life and such? Is the house quieter without me? haha probably! Can you ask Emily if she's getting the mail that I've been sending? Last letter it kind of sounded like she wasn't... maybe it was just a delay or something. Mail has actually been not too bad this past week or so, so don't feel bad mother - I honestly expected to get no mail from friends so I'm pleasantly surprised! Anyways, not much more to say for now, but reply soon! I'll be waiting.

Love, Elder McBride

P.S. have I really only been here two weeks? It feels more life two months! Time is so trippy here.
