It's beginning to look like Christmas!

We got your package and the tree is already up!!!!  Now we are just waiting for the 12 days of Christmas so we can open the packages.  It is starting to feel like Christmas with the tree that you sent up.  I will be calling you on Boxing Day, (26th).  But I am worried about skyping because the Internet cafe will be closed.  I will see if there is a member that has a computer with a camera we can use.  If not, it just might just have to be a call.  Sorry!  This weekend, the youth had an auction to raise money for the youth to go up north.  I got a Christmas tie for $8!  Awesome!  

My new companion is Elder Rigby and he is from Sandy.  Do we know anyone from Sandy?  He is a lot like me, we both did swimming, life guarding, and both love cars.  We talk too much about these three things. He is very relaxed and easy going.  

MOM...Really?  I can't believe that you got to go into the Gilbert Temple. [I had the opportunity to go inside the Gilbert Temple this week and do a service project on the elevator doors, and got to see the beauty in the temple.  It was a wonderful most exciting day!] That is so exciting!  And now... You and Kati have "your own elevator door".... I am so jealous.  That is the very first thing that I want to do when I get home.  Go to the very first temple session that is available.  I can't wait to be able to go to the temple again.  

I think we are hitting a little rough patch in Feilding right now.  I was so surprised this week that my companion got transferred.  I thought we were going to be together for another week!  All is good though.  However, I am having a hard time remembering everything with our 12 progressing investigators and what they need next.  But things are going great and I know if I trust in The Lord everything will be taken care of as we follow the spirit.  We have had some great lessons this week and have felt the spirit.  I have been studying Moroni 7 and dissecting it this week.  It is one of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon now.  

I am sorry if you are all freezing in America.  I'm burning up down here, it is fantastic.  The sun goes down at 10:00 pm now and comes up at 5:00 am.  I LOVE being at the bottom of the earth!  

Love you, 

Elder Tuckett

Good bye to my old companions!  They left me here to fend for myself!

More goodbyes!
