This is Sister Taylor and Elder Savage again on Temple Square in December having fun with Kerstin Hansen and her family cuz it was her last day there. And so we were all hanging out on Temple Square before she left to head for home. We had a blast like we always do when we are hanging out with everyone in the mission. That was a blast especially just walking around Temple Square just having a blast with everyone and talking and just chatting about life and stuff. It's a blast. Enjoy!!!!

This is Sister Taylor and Elder Savage during Christmas Time and before I actually left in December. We were having fun with Sister Hansen cuz this was taken on her last day with us here on the mission. It was taken on a Sunday night. And so I wanted to take a picture of Taylor and Savage having fun together on Temple Square on December 7th. Which was Kerstin Hansen's last day. We were all hanging out on Temple Square after we had dinner at our apartment which was really good by the way. Thanks for everything Kerstin.

This is The Mormon Tabernacle Choir on a Sunday morning for Music and the Spoken Word in the Conference Center actually. I love hearing them in person and not just on a cd or on the radio. It's better than hearing them on the radio or on a cd. They are better in person. I love going to hear them perform either in the Tabernacle or in the Conference Center. They are really good. And I know a couple of people in the choir from Cache Valley actually. So it's great going to hear them every Sunday. Enjoy!!!

This is the Christis in the North Visitors Center on Temple Square. I wanted to take a picture of it cuz I really like it alot and I wanted to have a picture of it. So anyway I absolutely love the picture that I took of Jesus Christ. It looks really good. And I hope that you all enjoy it as much as I have had enjoyed it. It's a great picture to have in your house or home during Christmas time especially and anytime actually you can have it in your home anytime of the year just not only at Christmas time. You can have it anytime. It's a great picture. Enjoy!!!

This is Sister Taylor who is my lovely roommate and lovely companion also. We have gotten along ever since I got here in November of 2008. I love it down here. This is on a Monday night just before FHE I just felt like taking a picture of her before we went to FHE. This is taken on the 10th floor of the JSMB during Christmas time. And this was also taken after I got back in January from being home for 3 weeks during December. That was not fun at all even though I got to see my family for Christmas and stuff. But other than that it wasn't fun being home for 3 weeks. I was so bored out of my mind. I wanted to come back really soon. And I finally did get to come back on January 4th. Thank goodness. I love being back on my mission. I really missed it alot.

This is the view from the 10th floor of the JSMB on a Monday night before FHE during Christmas time. I just felt like taking a picture of it while I was up there to see what it would look like from way up there. I love this picture alot. It's so pretty during Christmas time in Salt Lake City. I love being down here for Christmas. And I love being down here on my mission it is a ton of fun to be down here right now on my mission. I absolutely love it. Hope that you enjoy this picture as I have.

This is me and my lovely companion Sister Taylor. We are always looking cute and funny. We have been companions since I got here in November well actually we have been companions since Sister Hansen left in December. It's been a blast getting to know her more. And we are always together and always having a blast together too. It's wonderful to be companions with the most sweet and caring person that I know. And I am lucky to have her as my companion until she leaves in September. We are Best Friends. We have had a blast together so far. And we will continue to have a blast together until September and even after I get done with my mission next May. We will probably be roommates again after my mission in May. And I am trying to get her to come to Utah State with me after my mission. But I am not having much luck yet. I still have a while to get her to go to USU with me. I have the coolest roommate ever and the coolest companion ever. It's great!!!!!

These are my penguins that I have at home in my room. I love collecting penguins and I have some of them down here already that I have had sent down here. But the rest of them are at home still. I think that penguins are really cute and that is one of my nicknames down here already is penguin. Everyone knows that I love penguins especially my roommates. I don't think that I have enough of them yet. I had a Seminary teacher in high school that loves penguins too and he had them all over in his office and I am trying to beat him by getting more penguin stuff than him. Brother Orr was my seminary teachers name he was the coolest ever. He even gave me a nickname and it's T-dawg. Anyway I love penguins and I love collecting them it's a blast collecting them.

This is my cute puppy Louie he is a joy to have in my family. We love having him in our family. We got him from my bishop from my home ward. He is just a joy. We call him King Louie of Pugsly. He is getting so big and he will be a year old on April 23rd. That's going to be crazy. And I have missed seeing him grow up but I know that I will get to see him when I go home in June. I am getting way excited to see him. And I am getting way excited to see my family too. Doesn't he look cute. He is great. He loves to have people play with him and he likes to play fetch. This was taken when I went home in December for 3 weeks. It's great getting pictures of him sometimes from my family back home and seeing him grow up. He will be 2 years old when I get off my mission next May. That's crazy.

This is Temple Square during Christmas Time. It's wonderful to be down here during Christmas time and to be down here to get to know everyone down here. It's going to be a blast getting to know everyone down here. I have made tons of friends so far. I love Temple Square. It's a great place to be. I am glad that I am from Utah. I get to see this whenever I like to and whenever I get to come down here to see it. I love my mission so far. It's a blast. I love my companion. We have gotten along ever since I have gotten here in November about 5 months ago. I love it.

This is me and Elder Brown when we were just hanging out at the library our last day here in December. We were hanging out with Sister Taylor and Elder Baird that night. And the hat that I have on is Brown's that he put on my head that night. We were having fun as always. I have had a great time on my mission so far. It sucked going home for about 3 weeks though. But I needed it so I am grateful that I am back now and that I can be with Sister Taylor longer. I love being her roommate and being her companion. We are always having fun together. We are together 24/7. We are connected at the hip. I love having great friends down here it's a blast getting to know everyone down here. I have made a lot of friends down here so far. It's been wonderful.We are always laughing at everything and nothing and we are always making each other laugh which is a blast.

This is me being silly as usual in our apartment. I love to laugh and smile at everything. That's what I love to do most well the other thing is that I like to make Sister Taylor laugh too. I love being down here on my mission. I have been here for 5 months already it's gone by so fast. I can't believe that it's been that long already. We are always having fun in our apartment. It's a blast.

This is the Salt Lake Temple isn't it gorgeous. I love to see the temple. I love being inside of it. I love doing temple work inside of it. The temple is a place of love and beauty and place of worship and a place to ponder about lives challenges. I love knowing that I can be sealed for time and all eternity inside of it someday with my eternal companion. I love knowing that it's there and it's close by so that I can go to it whenever I want too. It's a wonderful place to be. I would live there if I could. It's a wonderful place to be and a wonderful thing to look at whenever you get a chance too. I love living so close to a Temple these days. It's wonderful.
