Elder Ryan Tuckett: I am getting in the water!!!!!

My week was amazing!! This week just flew by! We have been running around trying to put Lee's baptism together and make sure she is all ready and also teaching my companion/son all that he needs to know and do. It has been super fun! Thank goodness, the 2nd Counselor in the Branch Presidency has returned so that he can handle the branch and can take care of things there. However, yesterday, we did learn how to do tithing because you need two people to do it! We had 7 members at church yesterday, and 3 visitors. Finally, the members out numbered the visitors! Elder Richardson gave the talk and taught Sunday School, so I had the week off! I love him! He is so hard working and knows his gospel principles! He is still building muscles on the bike though, but he has started out in one of the hilliest areas around. He is doing good though!

Yesterday, we started putting together the baptismal program and we asked Lee who she wanted to baptize her, and her husband was like "You, of course!" I am so excited! So, it looks like I am going swimming this weekend! Exciting! Maybe I could do some laps! (just kidding, I wish) It is going to feel so weired though, I haven't stood in water in over 7 months! It is going to be great though! The baptism is this Saturday at 1 pm in Gore (2 hours away). Hopefully we can get some members come to support her.

I am going to go to the post office to mail a lot of letters today. I have about 7 things to send in the mail. Hopefully it won't cost too much!

Thank you for keeping a list of movies that I will want to watch when I am home. Sounds like I am going to be in my room watching movies for a while. I will see if I ever really watch them or have time for that.

Time is seriously flying by. It feels like Christmas is around the corner! So excited to see you guys again! Then it will be my year mark, how crazy is that? It is so weird to think about, it is far off, but not really.

I miss you so much and I love you guys out the wazoo!

Your favorite missionary,

Elder Tuckett
