This week was fantastic! I don't know happened, but we got 4 investigators this week! Some seem totally ready to come to the restored church of Jesus Christ bit a few are still needing some faith in our Savior and his atonement. But, it's all good, we can help them.
Yesterday was the most interesting day of the week! I love Sundays because we do not have time for mess ups in our planning. We had three people to teach one right after another. It was just wonderful! The first couple were a little stuck in their ways so it was a little rocky at first, but we left them with a good spirit. Our second appointment fell though, but the last one, we helped an educated man about the bible understand why we need the priesthood and authority to baptize. So it was a wonderful day of teaching, and at the end of the day we went to another faith's church service with our branch mission leader. And had a good time there seeing how other people worship. The service was all about evolution and the creation which was very interesting. Every church seriously does have some truths in it, but I am so grateful that I have the full gospel of Jesus Christ. So, this pastor invited a man from Australia to come and teach because he had some sort of special degree and right after the closing prayer/chant, he came straight to us and we had a great talk. He started by bashing the Book of Mormon, but we did end up on a good spirit. So that was the highlight of my week.
And. now, it just got better because you guys all got to go to the temple this week [we were in San Diego with Mary and did baptisms]. And, I am guessing grandma is all good because you mowed her lawn! Plus, I got a letter from you mom this week, that made my day!
I found out that I am going to stay here in Queenstown for another transfer this week with my same companion. Transfers are on Wednesday, I don't know why, but we are losing only one person in our district, and we are getting a set of sisters! Excited about that.
The Hamulas.... They come next week! I believe on Monday. They will be coming to Dunedin, so we will be traveling over there. My goal, is to tell no one that I know them, they probably won't believe me. The meeting is Monday, so I will be emailing you on Tuesday, but I bet Joyce will be texting you before that! Elder Hamula is going to try to do personal interviews with all of the missionaries. I hope I pass and won't take too much time trying to get caught up on everything.
Another amazing thing is that I got to drive a 2013 Chevy Cruise. We have three cars here at the flat right now. One we are selling, one that the church just bought, and we are keeping one. So I am loving life here with three cars. One old, one sorta new, and one flashy one! I hope we get to keep the brand new one! We will see. I love driving, and now I have three cars.... So many blessings!
I Still haven't gotten Kylie's package. I probably won't get it this week either as they don't send out mail on transfer weeks. I had 19 emails today, that was a lot, and not enough time to respond.
I love you and miss you, and thank you for the long, beautiful email!
One faith, One Lord, one God,
Elder Tuckett
