Hey Everyone! This week has been good for us out here in good old Moncton! This week we got to have exchanges in our area with the Miramichi elders. I was with Elder Calheiros from France. We had a great time working together and had lots of laughs because of the little language barrier. We were able to have a good lesson with one of the people we were teaching, she was really distraught and confused and was really struggling with prayer. We taught about prayer and it went really well. We were able to answer her questions and resolve her concerns with the scriptures! Overall it was a great exchange and it was awesome to work with and learn from Elder Calheiros. After exchanges ended Elder Bonny and I went to another lesson we had. We knew that us and the guy had some differing opinions and we were holding each other accountable to teach with love and not argue with him. It was an interesting lesson. The guy has read the entire Book of Mormon, but refuses to pray about it to ask God if it's true. We talked to him about how we can find truth and testified of the answers that come to sincere prayers, but he still refuses to pray about it. It was sad and kind of frustrating, but Elder Bonny and I were both able to feel the spirit while testifying to him so hopefully someday he will remember something from that lesson and pray about it. We also got to do some service this week which was pretty fun. We helped out with a food drive where we would go door to door collecting food, Elder Bonny and I were right in our element going from house to house haha! We also got to help out with a member who had 40 trees fall down in his yard after the storm that came through last week. It's always super fun to be able to serve and help out other people!
Our mission has been focusing a lot on planning lately and how we should be doing it. It's been crazy to learn that our planning sessions haven't been like they should be. As we've applied what we've learned planning has been much better for me. I'm not a fan of the mornings anyway, but I really didn't like doing daily planning every morning. Now I'm still pretty tired in the morning, but planning is so much better because we are doing it right. That's something that I've seen a few times on my mission. When I think I don't like something, most of the time it's because I'm doing it wrong. If you aren't enjoying something in your life, then try to see what you can do differently because most of the time you aren't doing it completely right. I'm thankful for all the great experiences and the learning I get to do as a missionary! Have a great week everyone! Love you!
Love, Elder Tait
