Zone Conference, traveling, teaching and blessings. Another great and busy week...

Hey everyone! We've been crazy busy, so it was a super quick week! We're teaching a lot of people right now in our area and we also had zone conference this week, so we had to get travel plans and everyone settled in for that. The day before zone conference one of the missionaries had to go to the hospital for an emergency appendix surgery, so that was a curveball in our travel plans for them. The surgery was successful and all is well now, haha. That was a crazy call though!
Everyone in the zone came to Moncton Thursday night for interviews with President Low. We took a couple elders out with us and worked with them for the night. Me and the elder I was with did a family history booth downtown and then went to a Bible study. The Bible study fell through so we went and visited a lady we are teaching. While we were walking there we met Eric. He's so cool! He's from Rowanda and was super excited to meet us and to hear about The Book of Mormon. He ended up coming to church with us on Sunday! Thursday night we had 6 other elders stay with us at our apartment, which was super fun!

Friday we had a great zone conference, we talked a lot about planning and having a vision and learned a lot of great things! After the conference we took the Lows to the airport and then had a sports night at the church and also watched the new Book of Mormon videos!

On Saturday we had 5 lessons fall through, so we spent most of the day on our backup plans. We had lots of great laughs all day, mostly because we were so tired, so everything was hilarious to us. That night I was writing in my journal and when I finished I had written about the same day twice in a row haha!

Sunday was good. We had 4 people we are teaching come to church. That was really exciting! Later we had a really good lesson with Eric. He is so prepared for the gospel!

Yesterday we drove a couple hours to Fredericton, visited a district council there and then came back. We had a great tender mercy. One of the sisters gave us some chick fil a sauce, so we stopped at KFC on the way back and used the sauce. It was so good! We got back for the evening and had another good lesson with Eric. We taught him the Plan of Salvation and he wasn't sure about some things, but we were able to read some good scriptures and he really liked them. Then we visited Rémi and Angelina and their family. We are trying to teach them English. They were watching some Swahili to English videos on YouTube and then Rémi handed me the remote and pointed to the TV "English video" so I put on an English video. I put on the primary song "A Child's Prayer" with the lyrics and Rémi sang along with it! haha it was a great time!

Everything is going great here! We keep finding lots of cool people and are teaching and traveling a lot! Lots of fun! Have a great week everyone!

Love,

Elder Tait
