We waited all day on Christmas to get our phone call from Taylor, but to no avail... I went to bed last night and said a prayer that he was safe...that is my biggest worry for him is his safety. This morning he sent us a txt saying that he would call at 10a.m. We got his call and he said that a member had offered them their phone so that it wouldn't cost them anything to call. When they tried to call, the phone wouldn't authorize it. He said they tried for a long time and it just wouldn't go through. He said he felt terrible when he went to bed last night because he knew we would be worried.
He sounds great and his Spanish is amazing! He ended up getting all of our packages except the letters from all of our Stake missionaires and the big Christmas banner from the ward...hopefully those will be there tomorrow he said.
We asked him lots of questions and one thing he mentioned is that no matter how poor or rich people are in Argentina, they don't have carpet. Either dirt floors or tile or nice tile! He said he feels bad that people don't get the opportunity to walk barefoot on carpet! He had another baptism on Friday and said it was great.
Also, just a follow up on the "murder at the church." He said the member was a 19 year old boy getting ready to go serve a mission. Now that he has committed murder (self-defense) he has to talk to the Prophet to get permission to still go.
Thank you for all of your prayers for our missionaries! May they all be safe and successful as they serve the Lord all over the world.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
