Missed this one from August 8th - Zone Conference, Exchanges and driving

Hey everyone! This week was really good! We had exchanges with the Rimouski, Quebec elders which was a lot of fun! I was with Elder Croft who's been out for about 6 months but has never served in English, so it was a big adjustment for him. It's weird being the more experienced missionary on exchanges these days! Lots of fun though! We met some really cool people while we were together and ended up having a really good surprise lesson! That night on the way home we picked up frostys and gave Elder Bonny his first ever frosty! This week we also had zone conference! Everyone in the zone came to Moncton and we had interviews with pres Low and a great zone conference! Elder Bonny and I gave a training about faith and it went well! We had a lot of good things going on last week, we started teaching 10 people which is super crazy and really exciting for us! Yesterday we traveled out to Charlottetown, PEI to go train at their district council it's always really fun to get to see other missionaries. The training and driving took up most of our day, but now we are in our area for the rest of the week so we should be able to have some good lessons with all of our friends and continue helping them grow closer to our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!

It's super crazy that this week will officially be 1 year as a missionary for me! Mission time is wack it's flown by! I've learned and grown so much in the last year it's insane, but awesome! Missions are hard work but such a great opportunity! I'm so thankful to be a part of God's work and to try and be an instrument in his hands! Have a great week everyone! Love you! 

Love,

Elder Tait

Elder Tait's mom here...

We talked to Elder Tait for a few minutes this week and he is doing really well. 
It's transfer week and they had Elders coming from all directions to stay with them and then had to make a few trips to the airport and drive others to their new areas. 
It was fun to hear him talk about the many memories over the past year and the many ways he has grown. He has some great goals as he moves into the second half of his mission. I was a little emotional as I listened to him and felt of his love for missionary work. 
He received news from President Low, the one of the people he and his companion taught in his first area (Cornerbrook) was getting baptized this week.  
Also, they are blessed to have a large teaching pool right now and have seen miracles as they pray for very specific things. I'm sure he will tell you more about all these things, but this week didn't have a lot of time, so just wanted to send a quick update of what we heard from him.

Teaching the Preacher, Crossing the Border, another crazy & busy week...

Hey everyone! Things are still going really well here in Moncton! We are teaching a lot of people right now, so we are super busy and having lots of fun! At one of the lessons we went to this week, the guy we were teaching brought his preacher friend to set us straight with the Bible, but his friend ended up being nice and had some sincere questions so we are going to be teaching him now too! This week we also had exchanges which are always great! On exchanges Elder Wai and I went finding in downtown Moncton. There are some very interesting people in downtown Moncton haha. It was a fun time. We each got a big hug from this lady who was super out of it! Good times! We also got to travel to Maine for district council again. It was awesome, except for getting stopped at the border because it was Elder Bonny's first time crossing the border, but eventually we made it! More good things on the way this week! Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Elder Tait
