Where in the world is Mason?

I am a picture thief. Mason's mission mom, Sister Jenson keeps a nice blog. It is mostly about missionaries coming and going but occasionally she puts on just fun pictures.   This last month a typhoon hit the island Mason is on.  It came about 200 miles north of him as far as I could tell from the google map. I think they experienced big wind and lots of rain.  On Sis. Jenson's blog she has a video of some flooding.   Mason said in one of his last letters that they had been able to help clean up. I was a little worried when I heard the television weather tell about the typhoon because I didn't know where Mason was exactly, so I looked his ward building up on Google maps and could see that he was too far away to be in trouble.  I could see the building and Google had tagged it as a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints chapel.  I thought that was cool.  If you don't regularly send email to him, you might want to take the time.  Christmas is coming soon and I am positive he would love to get something from us.   Give it a thought!  His e mail is mtaylor@myldsmail.net


 Elder Taylors...Justin and Mason  Their dads are brothers and they are companions! 

 Some things never change!


This is the "Where in the picture is Mason?"  I haven't found him yet.  If you do, comment and tell me.

BYU Law School Graduation

It seemed like it took forever but it really only took six semesters, two summer internships, many finals exams, hours and hours of reading and so many hours worrying that you can't count them.  Sara graduated with her Juris Doctorate degree from Brigham Young University Law School.  She did it as she does everything,  full on, with everything she has.  She never went to class unprepared even if it meant propping her eyelids open with tooth picks.  I think there was some  rap music involved also.  She sacrificed some time with Luke, but made it up to him with lots of sushi, movies, and trips to Disneyland, a trampoline, and a couple of bikes.  He didn't suffer at all!  She is now employed at Parr, Brown, Gee and Loveless in Salt Lake and preparing to take the bar in August.  Next is moving to Heber City to live close to Carrie so Luke and Tyson can be brothers.    The two old people in the picture  couldn't be more proud of her.  She was asked by her fellow students to speak at graduation.  She says it was because most of them didn't really believe that she could talk.  Which might be true, but probably more true was that she was an inspiration to all of them.  Jennie has her speech recorded and is planning to send it to all of us.  When she does, I will post it here.  Be prepared for tears!  Not Sara's of course, but yours.
