Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great week! It was a fun one here. We were out of our area for 3 days road tripping across New Brunswick! Last week we had a district pday in Miramichi where we did a hike, then we stayed in Miramichi and did exchanges with the elders there. Our exchanges continued all day on Wednesday after we had district council. I was with Elder Morrell and he took me to Tait street! Pretty cool! We had a grand old time talking with all 3 people that live on the street haha. Later that night I conducted a baptismal interview for a person being taught in Miramichi. It was a cool experience. I could feel the spirit really strongly. It was a fun exchange with the elders there. It's always fun to hang out with the other missionaries!
On Thursday we got up and drove to Caribou, Maine for a district council. We gave a training there and spent the rest of the day driving back to Moncton and finally got home at 9:00pm. We drove 600 kilometers today haha, good times! We spent a bunch of time on Friday planning, because it's the first time in a month we've had a chance to sit down and do weekly planning so we had a ton of stuff to go over. That night we had a couple lessons with people we are teaching. One of them was completely in French, so that was a little confusing. I feel like I understand what's happening and what is being said in the lessons, but a lot of times I'm way off when I talk about it with Elder Bonny afterwards. Slowly getting better though! Saturday was super cool. We were finally able to get in contact with Jessica and Gustavo. They are the couple that we prayed for and then they just showed up at church awhile back. Things were going well and then they moved across the city and got super busy with work, so we hadn't been able to talk with them in over a month. We'd been praying that we would have another chance with them and then on Saturday they texted us back and we got to go visit them!
Yesterday was Canadian Thanksgiving! We helped the Remi family move. They are the Swahili speaking family we are teaching English to. Their basement had flooded so they'd been living in 3 rooms with 12 people in their family. They were able to find a new house that we helped move some things into and they were so excited. It was so awesome to see how happy they were. I love that family! They are so cool! We got to have a good thanksgiving dinner with our ward mission leader and then ended the night with a guy we are teaching named Pierre. All in French... I need to go do some language study haha! Have a great week everyone! Love you! Au revoir !
Love,
Elder Tait
