Farewell

Prior to leaving for his mission Taylor had a lot of friends over for a barbecue.

Since the missionaries were also over for dinner it was decided to introduce Taylor’s friends to what Taylor would be doing for the next two years. So the missionaries presented a gospel discussion to the group. Then the Bishop had assigned Taylor to speak in Church on Sunday, October 18. Many of his friends were able to attend. He also had family come from Idaho, Michigan, Utah and Arizona. Interestingly, the other speaker fainted leaving Taylor a lot more time than he had anticipated. But it worked out fine.


















The Stake President set him apart as a full-time missionary on Sunday evening, then he left for Provo, Utah on Monday, October 19.

















His brother, Clark, picked him up from the airport and he stayed with Clark and Holly until Wednesday, October 21, when he went into the Missionary Training Center.
