Busy Week!


Here is the best picture that we could get on a Saturday night after a busy week.  Sorry for the bad pictures, but there is nothing to take a picture of in this town.  It is just another boring farming town.  However, it is the best place for missionary work!  

I feel that ever since I have gotten in this area, time has just flown by.  I don't know where the time goes.  It sounds like you have had a fun this week too with with lots of family visiting.  I can't wait to hear how the storm is in the Philippines and to hear from Ammah.  I hope she is okay.  I love getting to read my friends emails when you send them. But now I am so busy, it will take me longer to get them read.  
 
I am still loving my new area and new companion.  The people here are fantastic.  They are definitely more friendly. We do get fed more here during the week.  

If you get one of those family history books, will you send me one?  We only have 8 for our whole ward and the senior couple is hoarding them.  Our new senior couple has really been pushing family history so I have really gotten in the spirit of it too.  Our mission president wants us to become familiar with it so we can use it as a way of finding.  I forgot to tell you that I did that family history fan on family search too when I was stuck in Christchurch, and it was awesome, but dad's family has a lot to catch up with, there is nothing in there for them.   



This picture is from our backyard.  Nothing but little daisy flowers for grass.  One thing that I had a hard time getting used to here is that you can walk on the grass and it doesn't matter.  You know how at home, you walk on the grass and it is rude or whatever because grass is hard to grow?  Here, grass grows everywhere, and in cheaper neighborhoods, there are no sidewalks, just grass.  Anyway...Arizona problems!  

When we were door knocking this week, we knocked, and no one was home and we were pretty sure that we could hear a baa coming from the inside and getting louder.  We are convinced that the man living there has a sheep for a pet. I would love to bring one home, they are so cute!  That was the highlight of my week!  One investigator dropped us, and some came to church, but most did not.  We did find some new ones, so hopefully we will hit the nail on the head.  The work is going forward here and  everyone is still talking about the Hamulas visit.  I see quotes all the time from them everywhere now!  It is a great reminder of their visit.  

I think of you guys and pray for you nightly and can't wait until Christmas to talk to you again!

Love,  Elder Tuckett
