Only allowed 3 lines! But I am here in Argentina after the longest flights ever! It has been really hard only getting 7 hours of sleep in 2 Days plus time change, but it has been so worth it!!! I'm loving it here and I got my companion today! There were only 2 American elderes here out of 12 that I could have been a companion to! I am with Elder Collins from ST. George! Anyway I am loving it here, although I don't know the language as well as I thought! My first area will be in Paraguay, and most people there speak Spanish but there prefered language is Guarani which I like to call Spanish Chinese... Yeah wish me luck!
Love you all!
Elder Graves!

Kirsten and I are so happy to know that he is safe and happy. It is exciting that he will be serving in Paraguay to begin his mission!
Since he was unable to send a picture with this e-mail (and I love sharing pictures of Taylor :-) I thought I would share a special picture of Taylor's baptism day. As a missionary, Taylor will be helping others enter the same waters of baptism that he entered 10 years ago when he committed to live as a disciple of Jesus Christ. We sure miss him, but are so grateful for the work that he is doing.
Here he is on his own baptism day (10 years ago):
