Elder Ryan Tuckett: Just keep knocking...

It is spring now, everything is green and there are flowers everywhere! I found your favorites Mom, tulips!

We found some new investigators this week! We knocked into 16 year old boy that is friends with one of the less active members. We have started teaching him and will hopefully set a baptism date this week. He is so excited to get baptized. Hopefully, this will help his less active friend to come to church. He says he doesn't come because all there are is old people. I feel so bad for the youth here.

We also have another investigator that really knows the bible. We invited him to be baptized and he said "I have already been baptized" so we got to explain the priesthood to him. He still hasn't been able to find out where his priest got his priesthood. He is being difficult now, but he is still letting us come over and he says he will keep reading the Book of Mormon.

We also have this German couple that we keep running into on the Queenstown trail. They love and follow the bible like no other, it is great. They learned not to drink alcohol and how the male is the head of the household spiritually, as well as many other things. They believe the Sabbath is on Sunday still. We are meeting with them for the first time this week. We also told them we have a living prophet and invited them to watch General Conference.

We met a guy while knocking a while ago and he said that he was going on a vacation so we couldn't go back for like a month, and we went back this week and we met his wife and we were welcomed in and they gave us hot chocolate and trail mix, and we had a great conversation with them, we gave them a Book of Mormon and they said that they will read it! It is hard to explain, but the conversation went so well and they were so nice that my companion thinks they have the most potential to be baptized. I love our investigators!

This is an area we were knocking doors. That little boat is the Earnslaw and it is as old as the titanic. This neighborhood was so fun to knock in. Their houses are so cool. A lot had 4 wheel drive cars too so I loved it even more. This is where I am going to live when I move here.

I am so excited for General Conference! President told us to get things set up at the branch to watch conference, he told us to do it because the branch here doesn't like to watch. Last time, they watched one hour, then decided to have Sunday School and Priesthood. I was like WHAT? What about hearing from our prophet?

I love you so much and miss you! Keep up the good work that you are doing. Everyone tells me that you are good at keeping up the blog, Facebook, and Instagram and that you are awesome! I got mail this week from the Meyers and the Burdens!

Love, Elder Tuckett
