This is probably the biggest tree in Queenstown
That is sure sad about the PE teacher at Barbara Bush. I remember how much I loved PE. It is crazy how fast we can lose someone we love. [we lost a sweet young teacher of my kids this week as she was killed in an accident while out running] Did you tell anyone you will be able to see her again? Any missionary opportunities?
Sounds like great rain storms you have been having! It has been hot and sunny here. It has been great! Well, not really hot but warmer and I love it! But someone told us it is going to get cold again after the full moon! Apparently the weather here is affected by the moon and how full it is. Interesting!
We are emailing a little late to day because we waited for a member so we can hang out with him and get a ride into town with him. We are spending the day with him, going to lunch and then do some shopping, the hike Queenstown hill if possible.
This week was very good but I don't remember what all happened it went so fast, and I forgot my planner, so I will try my best to remember what the highlights were. Most important, we set a baptismal date! It is in about a month. I don't want to say a date in case it doesn't happen. It is the wife of one of the Counselors in our Branch. She is still learning English though because she just came from China a few years ago (me and the Chinese people!) She is so nice though and a wonderful wife! She has set my expectations for a wife very high! She is amazing but her faith and knowledge of the gospel is so little, so we get to build it up little by little. It puts the pressure on us as teachers. We have been going there and cutting the wood for them the last couple of weeks with a chain saw and that is so much fun!
Another great time this week is when I asked my companion where he wanted to go door knocking in our planning meeting, and he said the motor home park! I said, "OK, sure, I trust you" -- It was a bit sketchy, but the first house we knocked, we got a return appointment! Second house we knocked, got a return appointment, and so forth! It took until the 5th house that someone did not talk to us. So hopefully we will get one progressing investigator out of this. We are really getting people to listen to us and are getting more investigators. Everyone keep praying -- prayers are working! Now we just need to keep up with everyone and be efficient and not use the car all the time.
One of the branch members came back this week from Brazil so we had more members at church yesterday! He taught a lesson and I taught a lesson and 2 members spoke, so it was wonderful this week at church! We had 2 visitors from Australia, and 2 from Utah again! Heaps of people come here from Utah, where are the AZ people? Come on Arizona, Come to New Zealand.
Well, that was my week!
Love you!
Elder Tuckett
