TAYLOR TALKS

Throughout Taylor's cancer journey, we have felt the love of our community.  Especially that of our ward.  Every time we turned around we had people, young and old inquiring of Taylor's condition and always telling us they were praying for him.  One of the things that really touched Taylor was when he would hear about the little children who were praying for him.  

It made such an impact on him.  He felt like he wanted to do something to let them know how much it meant to him.  We talked to our Primary President and asked if there was a time when he could come in and talk to the children.  She was thrilled with the idea and asked Taylor to take 5-10 minutes during both Jr. & Sr. sharing time.

Taylor prepared a talk on prayer and the impact it has had on his life.  Most particularly in regards to his cancer.  He relayed to the children how much he had turned to Heavenly Father to help him with his fight against cancer,  He also talked about how much he appreciated the primary children praying for him.  He expressed his belief in prayer and also his love and gratitude for the prayers which have been offered in his behalf.  He gave each of the children one of his "Team Taylor" wristbands and told them how much he loved them.  
 He encouraged the children to call on God whenever they needed him and that their prayers would be answered.  It was a weepy, proud moment for this mama!
