Snipets!!

We received some "snail mail" from Ryan today.... A lot was "taking care of business" but I will share a few highlights from each of the letters that Ray and I got....

Letter to Mom:
[just a few highlights, mine was mostly business, letting me know flight info, etc.]
*I received really great news today at lunch, My travel Plans to New Zealand!!! [he leaves Monday, Jan 28th, if all goes well]. Prayers are working!
*It is cold here, I am glad I have my fleece sheets and blankets.
*I miss Maggie so much, It is hard not to think about her everyday.
*I am getting my suit and pants dry cleaned so they will be nice and clean for New Zealand.

Letter to Dad:
[just a few highlights]

Father,
*I can't believe that Mom is cleaning out my room already.  What is the status of my speakers?  Can you please box them up for me before she does something to them!?  Have you even started my truck since I have been gone?  Or is that gone too?
*I have been keeping a journal and I am planning on sending home the pages I have done for you to read and keep safe for me. 
*I love how simple they make the gospel here.  It seems like we always make things complicated but it always just goes back to basic things.  I am learning so much and time is flying by.  I love it.  I am not worried about my VISA, I know the Lord is watching over me so I am in really good hands.
*I love you, take good care of my mother!

Love, your son,

Elder Tuckett
