This was a wonderful week! Mostly the beginning of the week. We got to drive to Dunedin in that nice new car that we got! We got to see the Hamulas and I got a hug from Elder Hamula. I haven't had a hug in a really long time! It was wonderful! That made my day right there! Also, hearing their wonderful talks to us. Sister Hamula still is wonderful with teenagers and making things great. Everyone loved her and said she was great. When she was speaking, she kept saying things to me all the time. For example, she was making an analogy about a boats with oars and she asked if we knew how water works, and she said "I know Elder Tuckett does!" She was so funny. She was amazing and reminded me so much of you. Then, Elder Hamula.... He knows so much it is crazy, I want to be as knowledgeable as him. He carries a spirit with him just like the prophet does, it is so cool. He entered the room and you could just feel it. He gave some great advice on missionary work. I was in awe of everything he said and it was all things that I needed to hear for sure. I just loved it. When Elder Hamula bore his testimony you know without a doubt his love for the gospel and you could feel the power of it too! I loved his testimony. I wish that I could have recorded it so that I could listen to it over and over again. Again, it was so powerful, one of the most powerful things that I have ever heard. I loved it! And then after the meeting, I was the only person to be interviewed by the Hamulas! Woot, party for Elder Tuckett! We just sat down and basically talked about life. It was so wonderful. I miss them already. I am so grateful that I got to see them, it was the first time I met someone from home on the mission, and most likely the last! They brought me the most awesome package! Sister Hamula said that she carried it all over the entire mission until she got it to me. It had heaps of food, a New Zealand flag, sticky notes, and some foot powder so my feet won't stink! I loved it for sure!
It is turning so green here. It is spring now, and it is warm!!!! I love it because we have four appts to cut people's lawns this week! I am wearing short sleeves today, and it feels great! Another button popped off my shirt, and I haven't even got the one sewed on from last week!
Things are going great. I love you so much! Keep up those great letters you are sending me!
Love,
Elder Tuckett
I hope he can drive when he gets back after being on the wrong side of the car and road!
