Another great Missionary Monday - love hearing from Sister Tait!!!

Yay! We got to email with Sister Tait this afternoon.  She is still doing great!  Adjusting to missionary life - maybe a little homesick but she didn't say that :)  Loves getting letters and any kind of mail of course and working hard.  We asked her lots of questions...here are a few of the questions and answers from our brief emailing back and forth.  And also some pictures from the MTC and from New Hampshire.  It was so wonderful to hear from her.  Go ahead and catch up on how she's doing.  Have a great day!!

hello family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's finally p-day!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHH!! I made it!!!!!!  Right now i'm sitting in the library....trying to catch up on all these emails!! 

I can get letters anytime but i'm only supposed to communicate with family/friends on Mondays so this is the only day i can send stuff! 

How is everything? How's your companion?  How's your apartment? How was your flight?
it is so hard! but good!!!  Sister Sowards is my companion.  She's from provo she's been out here 6 weeks and is already training...haha crazy right?!  Our apartment is pretty nice! The flight was good.... I felt like mia on princess diaries when we were flying here...you know the part at the end when she's flying over Genovia and she's writing in her journal talking about her new home and saying how she's now Amelia Renaldi Thermopolis...Princess of Genovia.... hahha well that's what i was thinking as we were flying over New Hampshire.... flying over my new home...writing in my journal and I am now Sister Chelsey Tait... missionary of the new hampshire manchester mission... haha :)

How are you doing?  Is your companion nice? Are you happy? What are you eating? 

my companion is really nice! I am doing well....there is so much to learn and do all the time though! it's crazy! I get so tired! but yes i am happy! I bought apples and chocolate almond milk and cornflakes...and stuff to make mac and cheese... and we have lots of chocolate and otter pops and ice cream!! So all is well :)

so here's some pictures of my district, my companions, me with elder tait and me with all my packages!!! 

 Did you get to watch the broadcast yesterday?

Yes! wasn't it awesome!! We got to go to the church and watch it there! It was so great! We're excited about the facebook...Sister Sowards my companion said that her brother was a trial facebook missionary and he could be friends with all his family and friends but just could post scriptures and stuff...so that will be so cool if i get to do that soon!! So you know how i was in the choir..well we all practiced the songs together but we were so sad we didn't actually get to be in it! I wish I could've been in the MTC for that! haha but it was still so awesome to be part of it all and to be a misisonary at this time!! Craziness! :)

How's everything going?

Sister Sowards knows way more than i do so hopefully i can learn lots from her... i've been kinda quiet in the lessons so far cuz i don't know the people...it's hard cuz i'm used to just teaching the lessons but all the people we've been teaching are just less actives so we're not really teaching the main lessons to them we just talk about whatever they need or read scriptures and I don't know what i'm doing! haha but i'm getting better i guess... it's so hard! 

TJ wants to know what you do on p-day? What do you do every day? Do you eat at your apartment or at members houses? 

 we get up exercise, personal study, comp study, then we had a little time to write letters then we went and got our car blinker fixed then did our laundry at a members house then picked up the elders they live like ten minutes away from us...we share a car.  we get it friday-monday i think? haha so today we picked them up...went to walmart then came to the library! so here i am! usually we eat at our apartment... gourmet meals...frozen pizza, hot pockets, peanut butter sandwiches, apples, chicken nuggest... the first day we were just walking around and then some awesome members called us and asked if we wanted to come over for pizza!! So we went over to the Mullin's and they fed us pizza and they invited over one of the less actives that we're working with so it was a win win! We're only supposed to have 3 meals a week at members houses...yesterday after church we went to a members house and they fed us lunch... it was really good they made bbq chicken and potatoes and salad and fruit and then brownies and ice cream! AHH! so i haven't had to eat anything gross yet... :) our district is us and then two sets of elders... it's so small especially compared to the mtc... it's kinda lonely haha but i'll get used to it!  the sister that was here before was named sister waite... she must have been super amazing because everywhere we go everyone is like where's sister waite!?!?!? and then we say she got transfered and they're all sad but they'll just have to learn to love me! haha

Can you only read your mail on p-day or every day?

we look in the mail box everyday....so i can read my letters anytime...! i can only write and send them on p-day though...ughh! that's the hardest part! after this i'll we'll go back to our aprtment...eat some dinner.... p-day ends at 6! so then we'll go teach some people!!

Here are some more pictures of  the last days at the mtc and then the airport here! with President and Sister Wilkey and at the beach when we stopped with Sister Smith on our way to our apartment :D

okay i have to go...they're waiting for me...hahhaa but I LOVE YOU ALL!!! i'll send letters today :) BYE! :)
