And so it begins!

We are here!! No one was messing around when they called New Jersey The Garden State! It is truly beautiful here and we are loving it! 

President Taggart, Paul, is in HEAVEN! His mindset has taken a big turn and he is completely focused on the lord and his work! It is also really cool to see the love in his eyes each time he meets another missionary, and to see him in his element. 

Sister Taggart, Jane, is finally feeling a little better now that everything is unpacked and organized she can take a breath and start enjoying herself a little more.  But as always she is her fun, outgoing, positive self and the Sisters and Elders all already consider her their "Mission Mom".  She is loving being here and is excited as always to get to work and start serving!

Emily is taking this big change a little better than Sophie, but we are working on her. They are both starting to make some friends.  Our new ward is incredible.  There are tons of kids and youth who have all been really welcoming which has made the transition a lot easier. It is hard to say much about these two because they are kind of stuck, but both have really good attitudes and are trying their best to make the most of our new life.

We have absolutely loved working with our awesome AP's, Elder Jones and Elder Nielsen.   

They are awesome!     

       
            We all feel really at home and are really excited to start our new adventure here in New Jersey!

We had one big adventure on the 4th.  Since the weather app told us all sun we decided to head down the "The Shore", which ended up being not so sunny. But we still had a little fun on the boardwalk and then ended up taking cover in the movie theater and then just driving home. The rain blew over and it ended up being a pleasant day but only after we made the hour and a half drive home.  But on the bright side the boardwalk wasn't as crowded as it would have been! (and we got some cute pictures, what more could you ask for?)
