This my friends, is a portable baptism font!
So -- I still haven't gotten a package from Kylie yet! I got heaps of mail this week too -- however, no package. This mail came right when I needed it the most. This week was really hard for me. There was so much stress with the President here, then the Zone Leaders too -- I thought I just missed my companion, but then he came back and decided I missed Elder Edwards [his last companion]! He had fun and we got a lot of work done! My companion now doesn't know how to have fun and do work at the same time.... it's depressing.
But, things are going great. On Thursday, I got the most mail I have ever gotten on one day so far! I got 5 letters!!!! 3 from you, Mom (this is the most exciting person to get mail from), and 2 from my 2nd family (Paula and Bekah). It made my week a lot better -- thank you guys so much for mailing me letters.
We are still planning for the baptism this weekend here in Queenstown this time! So .... no long drives! The girl is totally looking forward to it and I am excited for her to experience it. We also have a great investigator that I believe is getting super close to baptism. We had a faith building lesson with him yesterday, with one of our members! He is diligently looking for Jesus Christ's church and I hope he gets his answers soon! I believe he will because he says he is asking the man upstairs about everything we teach! And, he is reading the Book of Mormon like no other investigator I have ever seen! So, I believe he will find out that it is the truest book on the earth for himself.
This week we are going to try a new way of finding investigators here in Queenstown. The Zone Leaders gave us the idea to go to the busiest place in the town, and we are going to set up a bucket lesson and try to teach very fast the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am excited to see how that turns out! It is going to be like a little booth, but instead of standing on a soap box, we will be on the ground hopefully having conversations with people. So wish us luck! We usually just get referrals for other missionaries all around the world since we are in a tourist town -- so we will see how this turns out.
Also Mom -- I need a new watch in my next package. It will be great to see what you can come up with.... do your best.... [love the confidence he places in me] The three cheap ones I brought are all broken.
Today, we are going to Lord of the Ring sight -- I am excited but scared because it looks like a long hike! It should be fun!
Love you,
Elder Tuckett
The lake was so blue when we were riding to email today!
P.S. I get an email from Ryan [the guy he baptized in Napier] every week. It always pretty much says the same thing -- here is this weeks. I love him and miss him so much.[He is from China and is still learning English]
Dear Tuckett,
Have you received those pictures I sent? Tuckett, I really miss you very very much. You gave me a very good memory in New Zealand. You are a very good man, I hope I can become your very good friend in our life because it was God let me meet you and let you guide me join the church. I was very sad when you leave Napier, I hope you will go to Utah for me, I wants to meet you in Utah, I have lots of things want chat with you and I wish you will take me to travel your hometown and the Statue of Liberty. Can you take me? Remember I will not forget you, you are very easy going, I want becoming your real friend. I will go to Utah next month and I have gotten the student visa, and I also hope you will go to China. I like to email you, but sometimes if I go to traveling, or I can not use Internet, I will not email you, but if I get time I will email you every day, you just reply to me once a week is enough. Can you promise me that you will meet me in Utah?
Ryan
[this is the sweetest note I have read in a long time]
