Hermana Taylor VS The Headless Horseman

Hey everyone!

Sorry about last week! I had the oppertuity to go to the Manhattan Temple! It was super amazing and I would defiantly recommend that you all go to the temple soon. It's one of those things that is super easy to take for granted, but if you have the chance, go! :)

This past week was super hectic but also full of lots of miracles! 

Monday there was a big leadership meeting at the mission home in Scarsdale. Because my companion is a STL, we had to go into Scarsdale. We ended up staying the night at the mission home Sunday night. Sunday evening, I went on a split up in Sleepy Hollow, NY with Sister Sutton!! (fun fact: Sleepy Hollow is the town that the headless horseman story is based in. It's actually super pretty and not at all sketchy like the hood here in Harlem) I think that I may be a little too used to the city because the second that we got to our first visit, I was completly supprised to find out that the investigator lived in a house with no other families.... haha. After we finished the quick lesson with the investigator Sister Sutton turned to me and straight up sang "it's tracting timeeee" then proceeded to practically jog down the street to this little apartment building. When I finally caught up to her she looked at me and then basically pulled an "elf" and pressed all of the door bells for the apartment. Someone buzzed us in and then we started knocking on doors. We decided to go upstairs and see if anyone would open the door. Sister Sutton knocked on a door and these two teenage girls opened the door. Sister Sutton introuduced us and then she paused and asked if they had lost someone in their family recently. I was kind of confused and like "ummm why did you just ask that instead of asking their names.....". The girls looked us and then said that they had actually just lost their grandma. We were able to bear testimony on the Plan of Happiness and now the Sisters of Sleepy Hollow have two new investigators. Sister Sutton taught me a lot that night about listening to the holy ghost. Sometimes the promptings that we get seem strange and we second guess them, but when we follow through and act on those promptings... that's when miracles happen. 

Something fun that happened this past week was that I got the mission violin! The first night that we had it, Hermana Leon asked me if I would teach her something. Soooo either I'm a pro teacher or she's a pro student because in the past two nights she has learned how to play a scale, I'm a Little Flower, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. #getonourlevel 

I love you all. Thank you for your continued prayers and support. I have felt it so much this past week. Please know that you are all in my prayers as well. Have a great week and enjoy the spring weather!

Con Amor,

Hermana Taylor
