Lately I've been really missing Tayt Low. I'm almost certain its because I live in Provo...Don't get me wrong- I'm sure I would miss Tayt if I were living some place else, but Provo really emphasizes the fact that he is gone on a mission for two years. Main reason: in Provo you can't be friends with guys! Hardly ever. I completely understand the mentality behind this, but its seriously lame. I guess I'm one of those girls who enjoys hanging out with boys rather than girls, so here in Provo my friend circle is pretty dang limited. Guess I need to change that, eh? Anyways...I'm going to go ahead and step off my soapbox before this gets too detailed. The second reason Provo makes me miss Tayt is the fact that if he were still living here, he would live 20 seconds away from me. But despite the fact that I could really use some Tayt in my life right about now, he is serving the Lord and loving it. Letters from Tayt remind me that Heavenly Father knows each of us so well. He knows that sending little nineteen year old boys on missions will bless the lives of those who are taught the gospel, as well as those who are teaching it. Through Tayt's letters I have clearly witnessed a change in him and his attitude towards life and the principle of service, and through his testimony I have gained so much knowledge and continual reaffirmation of the truthfulness of this Church.

There really is nothing like a returned missionary to date, to hang out with, the be good friends with or to marry. There is just something about a boy who can serve, endure, work, and grow-up all on their own. They come back better and stronger in lots and lots of ways. There's nothing like em.
Nice post Michelle.
aww tayt :( I miss our boys too. It's kind of bittersweet with them. On one hand you miss them and all the sweet hang outs we used to have. On the other you think about them on their missions teaching the gospel, becoming "men" (haha will those boys ever be "men"?) and then two year doesn't seem like such a big chunk of time. ya know?
I miss tayt too!!! and I couldn't agree more about how much he has changed and grown already! He's such a great kid. I'm scared for this summer without those boys around!
