Miles & Miles, Adventures on a “Spiritual High” for some...

Another crazy week! Lots of fun things going on! We took a road trip to Miramichi, had exchanges, slept over for a couple nights, and then drove to Caribou Maine for a district council. We gave a training about Beginning With the End in Mind. It went pretty well! On our exchange in Miramichi I went with Elder D'Eon to a native reservation. There's a bunch of black magic going there, but we were able to stay safe haha! We spent a ton of time in the car and got back to our area in time for more exchanges, this time in Moncton. The elder I was with and I had a grand old time running around in the rain and talking to people. We got soaked, but found a super cool dude standing in the rain. The next day we showed up to his apartment and he welcomed us in. We got in and there were 15 bros in there passing a few joints around. There was a thick cloud of smoke. We took the opportunity to teach about the Book of Mormon before we had to bounce. They loved us and wanted us to come back, but it wasn't the most spiritual environment. I'll write more next week!

Love you!

Cold Toes warm hearts...



Hey everyone - I forgot to send my email last week, so you get two for the price of one this week. First off, the week of November 6...

It's been a crazy week! We started last week with exchanges on Wednesday and Thursday.  I got to be in a trio for the exchange with Elder Furrows and Elder Hogue. We had a great day together and had some sweet experiences! We stopped by a lady we used to teach named Antoinette and set up a lesson for the next day. We went back the next day and had our lesson and it went really well! She was super grateful that we were there and is very humble and receptive to the gospel. I'm excited to continue teaching her! On Friday we drove out to PEI and visited their district council. It was great to see the elders there and learn from their insights. On our way back we stopped in at the best ice cream place in PEI and they gave us free ice cream! It also snowed for the first time this season on Friday. Saturday we had a ton of lessons planned and they all fell through, but we were able to have some cool unplanned lessons. On Sunday we had church and a couple of our friends came! Rémi the father of the huge Swahili/ French family came. Elder Taylor translated the meetings and he really liked it! On Monday we got up at 4am and went to the airport. We flew to Montreal and spent the day doing exchanges with the APs. We got to do some metro contacting on the huge underground metro system in Montréal. It was such a fun time to be riding around and talking to people. I felt like I was about to get on a roller-coaster every time the metro rolled up. Yesterday we had our MLC meeting and had a General authority Elder Bassett visiting. I learned a lot from his training it was super good! After the meeting nobody could give us a ride to the airport so we had to find our own way by taking the Metro and then hopping on a bus, but we made it! We sat at the airport for awhile and once again our flight got delayed. This time it was too cold to board the plane so we had to wait. We ended up getting home around midnightand that was it for this Montréal adventure! I hope you all have a great week! 

Love you! 

November 13-19

Hey everyone! This week was great! We had zone conference in Moncton. Elder Bassett came to that and taught some great things about teaching and sacrifice. Everyone came away from the zone conference motivated and ready to go. After the zone conference we started exchanges with the Rimouski Elders. I was with Elder Gutierrez from Mexico. It was super fun to work with him and get to know him! Growing up in Mexico is much different than growing up in Utah haha! We taught one lesson on a guy's porch that night. Our toes were frozen, but our hearts were warm! The rest of the exchange was awesome except for when Elder Gutierrez used our entire block of cheese for tacos haha. Saturday we had a bunch of lessons fall through. The one that happened went well though! The rest of the week was us teaching as many people as we could while we had some time in our area. Today we are having a district p day in Miramichi, so we've still got lots going on! Good times in the Maritimes! Have a great week! 

Love you!

Traveling, meeting the new zine, busy week...

Hey Everyone! It was a fun week with lots of traveling! Wednesday we had our district council in Miramichi so we had a nice little road trip for that. It was fun to meet the new members of the district. Later, we came home, packed and ate some dinner and then went to the airport and flew to Montreal. The next day on Halloween we had MLC where we had some really good discussions and set a vision for our zone this transfer. After the meeting we stopped and got some amazing burritos before heading to the airport. Our flight got delayed and we didn't end up getting home until 1am, so waking up the next morning was a struggle. We were able to fight through it though and had a great day. We were able to have some good visits and get some planning done. That night we were out on the coast in a place called Shediac and as we were driving home we passed the biggest lobster I've ever seen so we stopped and got some pictures.

Time is short today and I didn't get to finish this, but I love you all! Have a great week! 

Love,

Elder Tait
