Turning 20!, He hears and answers our prayers, feeling the spirit, service, technology...grr...

So this is dumb....I just wrote this great email to send to all of you...pushed send...and then the stupid computer froze...now my email is out there floating around somewhere...ughhhhh! sometimes i hate technology... and now i've only got 15 minutes to write everything that i just wrote in the past hour and a half! dang... :( haha oh well...let's see how much i can get in.... i'm grateful for my piano fingers! fast fast fast!!!! :O

Well this is awkward...I've spent my whole 19th year of life in Maine. and now it's my last week of being a teenager!!! I'm gonna be 20 this week. What the heck?! haha not sure how i feel about that... :O haha so this week has been really good! We had good lessons with Linda and Arnez on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday! They are doing great and being good missionaries and sharing the gospel with everyone in the trailer park! :) Wednesday after district meeting we went to the library and saw the Book of Mormon! Elder Stallings and I have been but Sister Welch and elder daniels hadn't so we thought it'd be nice to let them have that awesome experience too :) So that was fun and then we went and saw Sister Russell and she shared a cute poem with us about prayer :) (in my last email i typed it up...but you'll just have to look at the picture i sent of it..) I am so grateful for prayer! I know that Heavenly Father always hears our prayers and he will answer them in His own time and His own way. He is mindful of us and wants what's best. Sometimes things don't go the way we think they should (like when you send a perfect email and then it freezes) but it will always work out in the end. So sometimes when you're on a mission you have those days where you just wish you could talk to your mom and dad and get some good advice from them...but you're thousands of miles away and can't talk to them til monday... so the other day i was having one of those days and just wishing that i could get some advice from them!! i wanted so bad to just pick up the phone and text/call.. and then i was like wait and minute! i can pray!! Heavenly Father is always there!!! So I prayed to Heavenly Father, told him what was up.. and then guess what happened... the mail man pulls up... no joke. and we go get the mail and there's a letter for me..from my dad!! :D Ahhh!!! how cool is that! so that was pretty great :) prayer works :) We had an awesome Book of Mormon class - sister doyle a less active came and let me just tell you it was the most jam packed spirit filled night ever. it was amazing!!! We read 2 nephi 2 and it was perfect! we talked about agency and how we get to choose to be happy!! :) We all got to bear powerful testimony about the Atonement and it was just so guided by the spirit it was really cool :) Then the next night was the relief society birthday dinner and she came and you'll never believe what the talks were about that night... happiness!!! how awesome is that?! it was perfect. Heavenly Father is so cool :) So she also came to church!! ahhh! yay!!!! and then we did some fun service this week and went to the lighthouse!!! it was so great!! :) ahhh!!! i wish i could tell you more but that's all i'm gonna be able to get in for this email... :( i'll try and rewrite it but there probablby won't be time for that either... oh well!! i love you all so much!!!! have a great week :)

Love,

Sister Tait
