January 19, 2009 - Third Area, Lomas, Belenes

Well, I have a lot to say, stories, happenings, learnings, philosophies, rumors, gossip, miracles, doctrine. To start I want to answer the doubts of my cuz´ns. First off to Cindy, thank you for the letter, actually its not that I MIGHT not have time, its just that I dont. Lol, Im not allowed. Also to start off the ´ button is a special button in a different place, entonces, or this means to say that I wont be using much. Lol. The package from Cindy and Melissa was great. I had been wanting an English Hymn book for a bit of time. That and the oreos and nutter butters made me melt inside. Ill tell you in a minute why I was forced to eat all of it last night. I was hoping, in all truth, that this would spark a little competition with Deb, lol. Even if she knows I wanted it to start the war shell still answer with a package of goodies and chocolates.... lol. Also en verdad, in all truth and honesty, I finished her peanut brittle toffe... TODAY! I usually dont like toffee, Ill take a piece or too every once in a while but for the most part I dont enjoy it, but hers... is a miracle! I refused to eat more than one piece each night, from the time I busted it open in Christmas and we passed it around and shared it, Ive taken one piece everynight. Then I started to eat a little more, then I finished it off this morning, lol. It was amazing! I used the container to store my christmas decorations in my suitcase, lol. It all worked out. Im not sure what were going to do with the lights though, something to have fun and make the house pretty, = D I was estatic to hear about Billy and his appeal. Oh, you didn{t send me that, Debbie sent me an email bout Billy and he might get out soon. I will pray for him, I will beseech the very powers of Heaven to surround him with the power protection and righteousness that is Christ Jesus. That the very desire and Devil will be purged from his soul. Also that you will have it said to Billy, that the next time I hear he has problems with drugs, after he gets out of prison: My support is gone nor will he have my sympothy. Maybe a little motivation will help him. I am praying for him, or Im going to start, and this it. Bills going to be an Elder thats awesome! That and the Super Bowl? Serious, its a joke right? Im sure Jon pissed his pants.... or the couch. I received your forward from Adam also. First quick note is that I did clarify it is no friends rule. I need you to clarify that with David. I had told him in my one time wonder that I was permitted to write him, but that was proven false. In terms of Adam, he defintely seems to be pushing along. I actually dont remember much of what he said, b ut that he cleaned the house and it was a very dnagerous task. I cleaned our house too last week. It took a whole hour for the shower 2 for the whole bathroom. Maybe a little more. IT was DISGUSTING and still is. Well see how it goes now. Ernie sounds awesome, Im kind of sad that Im missing all his kitten-hood. Maybe hell still be pretty cute when I get back. You didn{t tell me about his mom before, you know who his mom is? I have a pretty big desire to get good at tennis, I just want to do it the way I enjoy. The new courts sound awesome! They needed new courts, the new Head coach though is from 5th ward? What happened to Mike?!?!?! The Mesa Country Club is awesome, I always loved it, I REALLY hope it doesn{t go down either. Go to dinner a little more often, breakfast with the boys, theyd love that! Daniel and David, maybe Nick but the first two for sure! Waffles and Omlettes, lol. Yeah...those were the days.... and will be... Golf would be really interesting to learn, and Dad still has those lessons, and he should go in. Give him something to do if hes not working on the Armored Truck. The Ramada and Josh{s house really make me happy too. I just wish I could have helped build them a little. I laughed pretty good how you ended your letter. "Well dad wants to get ice cream..." Lol. Stick close to the spirit. Its the only thing youre going to take with you from this life. Take it or leave it. Or in the words of Burrito Express, "No Substitions. No Exceptions" Now moving on. Now starts the news and everything else. I was a little sad yesterday. Actually a lot of tears. Today I write you from the land of Lomas, Belenes. I have ganas, lol. I want to be here. But I DID NOT WANT TO LEAVE. Leaving Francisca, Marylou, Kimberly, Norma, Fatima Nikol and Evalyn and Raquel Medley and Rebecca and Gabriel. Tears me in pieces. We passed for Francisca and we were called, rather early this time, and they told me Im going to Lomas. I started to tear, I recorded alot of the things I said and if I can find out how and where to mail stuff I will. One thing I did not record that I was told last night. We took the night to pass by for all these people i love. We went to Raquel{s house. Hma. Raquel, who started going to church in case you forgot. Wasnt home, came back 45 minutes later wasnt home. I was devastated. I was chillin in the house downing the cookies that I didnt have space to bring them and the phone rang, it was Raquel and fam.! I left a note that said I was going and they asked if they could come to the house. They came over and this is a long story in full, I WILL write a letter to send to you about this. Caus this is big. This is a story that I will probably have read in church for you all. But she came with a few gifts and things but told me, to the more or less extent. Elder Taylor, te quiero, which literally means I want you but expressed is like I like, enjoy you. Something like that. Anyway. You will never be forgotten. When you placed your hands upon my head and gave me that blessing. I felt something I have NEVER felt before in my life, that made me go to church. It spoke to me, that I had to go to church. When Sunday came I woke up as if somebody spoke to me and everything was already organized I picked out the dress and everything and we left. I used to drink and now I dont. I responded I didn{t know she drank. She replies. Yes, I drank alot, one time another elder came by and found me (wasted). I drank ALOT. And now I dont. Completely dont. I will never forget what you have done for me. Its been an hour now, and theres more to the story but like I said I have a lot recorded and Ill send it over. I do have one specific request. I want you... to go straight up to Daniel and Ben, and Jon if you find them. And kick them .. in . the ... !!!!!!!! And say, from your dearest FRIEND, Jake. Lol Let them know I love them. I love you guys so much, thank you for your support. I{m going to write that letter for the ward. I dont know if you all are going to like it though. Im probably goin to planch them. if you know what that means. ´,= ) Stay awesome, stay the best most well rounded parents in the world. Ive switched areas now with Elder Heldt. Dallas Texas, goes home after this change. Ill let you know how it works out.Your only adopted son, (My only begotten... Lol)Jacob Daniel Taylor, Elder
