Hey everyone! Things are going well for us up here! This week Elder Thacker and I got a new companion named Elder Sorenson. He was training an elder from Germany who had to go back home, so we'll be in a trio until transfers next week. The work is still progressing forward! We had a really good week as a zone and it's awesome to see the miracles that are continuing to happen. Right now we are a little limited, but God is not. We're putting in the effort we can and he is making up the difference. I'm working on Swahili in language study and it's coming along, it's such a cool language! I've been studying a lot about virtue this transfer. Before, I never realized what exactly it means and why it's so important. Virtue is a prerequisite to having the spirit with us, so if we want to be in tune with the Holy Ghost we need to actively be thinking virtuous thoughts. Sometimes it's hard because letting your mind wander is easy and natural and so a lot of times that's what we want to do. As I've been studying I realized that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is about changing our desires, not changing our will power. Our desires have a big impact on our actions, so we need to make what we want the same as what God wants. It's a hard process but we can do it! There's a scripture in the Bible I really like. It says "anything is possible to those that believe". (Mark 9:23)
I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is true and it has been restored in its fulness. Have a great week everyone! Love you!
Elder Tait
