Farewell Carterton, I will miss you!

I am leaving and I am moving to Pirirua.  Going back to the coast, at the bottom of the North Island,  I will be district leader again.   I will probably be driving down there because elder Usalai'a will be going in that area to pick up his new companion.  The airport has closed in Masterton, so everyone here has to fly out of Wellington, so we will just drive, or I will take the train or bus.  

I am going to miss Carterton, so much!  The heart of Wairarapa.

The beginning of the week I was over in Masterton again.  We were able to heaps of service.  The weather was just perfect.  It was so much fun!  I am getting really good at mowing lawns.  It is so fun!  

Thursday, we had great splits with the members here.  Members can get into people's homes and do better with the less actives that we can.  They can become their friends, and everyone needs a friend at church.  I hope that I can help the missionaries when I come home.  

On Saturday, we went to Upper Hutt for a meeting.  People from the Stake Presidency spoke to us about hastening the work of salvation and working with the missionaries and using family history and such.   Then we spent the night at the zone leaders 2 story flat.  It was fun and we had a good sleep over.  The next day, we woke up and went for the broadcast where we heard from President Monson, Elder Oaks, the general primary president and someone from the presiding bishopric.  The stake presidency took about 30 minutes before it started to talk to us and share their testimonies.  They said almost the same things that the leaders said in the broadcast.  The prophet sorta of  double testified of what the stake presidency had just said without know it.  It just really helped me to see that our leaders are inspired from The Lord!  When our leaders talk, we need to listen as if President Monson is speaking.  They are the speaker for The Lord.  It was exactly what The Lord wanted us to hear.  It was a great conference for New Zealand!  

It was another great week!

Love you,

Elder Tuckett
