Taylor Patterson - Reno, NV Mission

  Happy Easter Everyone!!! This week went by extremely fast, like Monday literally felt like yesterday. My companion and I have been walking a lot recently because the weather is so nice. Yesterday we walked for 6 hours street talking to all the people we saw. We found 4 new people to teach and every single one of them has so much potential! Hopefully this next week we will continue to help them feel the spirit in their lives while we are around. It's crazy to think next week I'll be 20 years old. Time honestly flies by so fast, my birthday will land on the day that I'll have exactly 3 months before I fly home.  Thank you all for the emails this past week sorry I haven't been able to respond to many. We went golfing today so it was just a relaxing day. I shot a 74 so that was nice but the random guys we were playing with were pretty cool!!  I hope everyone has a Happy Easter!! Remember this week the amazing things our Savior has done for us!!!  Elder Patterson

  Hey Everyone!!! I just wanted to write an email this week saying how amazing missionary work is!!! We had an amazing week here in Reno, we ended up finding 9 new peoples to teach which is awesome! Our ward only has two 16 year old boys and the rest are 15 and younger, but this week we actually started teaching a 16 and a 17 year old which was really cool! Hopefully we can help the youth in the ward grow. We also found a new guy to teach, he is a beast! We were messaging people on Facebook and he said he'd love to talk about some cool places to visit here in Reno and invited us to his place to talk about it. We ended up teaching the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the spirit was SO strong. He wanted to buy the Book ofMormon from us which was pretty sweet, and he was really happy when we gave it to him for free. He asked us if we wanted to go get a bite to eat so we went to Wing Stop which was another plus. He actually ended up coming to church on Sunday as well and w

  Hey Everyone!!! Long time no email, that's my bad!! But another transfer has gone by here, and I'm staying in Reno. I'll be getting a new companion on Wednesday named Elder Lowry and it'll be exciting to see what the future holds. I can't believe 20 months ago I was heading to the mission field. Only 4 more months and I'm absolutely excited to grind these last few months. We are teaching a few people here in Reno and it has been really fun!! We teach a lot of lessons but the hardest problem we are running into is people not wanting to progress yet. So hopefully this next week or two we can see some serious progression in the people that we are teaching!!! This gospel is pretty sweet, if you ever want to hear a message from me about what I believe in or just want to learn more about Christ shoot me an email or hit me up on facebook.  Also if you are wondering what you can do to help missionaries out just hit them up and go to lessons with them, it's the bes
