Memorable Week with some baptisms!

I had a great week!  I was able to see President Kezerian again before he left.  I saw him on Saturday at our baptism.  He left yesterday.  So, we have our new mission president but nothing has changed yet.  We have a Zone Conference on Saturday and we each get to meet with him for 5  minutes.  He sounds awesome!  I'll let you know how it goes next week.   The office couple came to me at the baptism to talk to me and it was depressing...... They wanted to talk about my leaving date.  That made me sad.  My visa expires on Jan 28th.  I said that I need to probably come home for school, so she said that we will have to talk to the new president.  We will see what he says, but if so, I will come home a transfer early.  

I had a great and memorable week with Elder Holladay! I has been fun covering two areas, meeting all of his investigators, and him meeting all of mine!  We can now cover both areas.  We did a lot of finding in my area and found a few potentials!  No one was really excited about the Book of Mormon or anything but we aren't finished with them yet!  Elder Halladay and I are really excited to start training this week and we are excited that we don't have to live out of suitcases any more.  But once we get our new companions, we probably won't be leaving our areas for 12 weeks.  (Which won't be fun). They come in on Tuesday.  We are going to Wellington to pick them up either at the mission home or airport, I am not sure.  That's tomorrow!!!!  

This last week with Elder Halladay went too fast.  Saturday was probably one of the most fun days!  One of our investigators had a massive 40 foot shipping container that he needed to paint, so we had to take grinders and grind off all of the rust on this shipping container and sparks were flying everywhere!  It was a blast!  I forgot my camera though, so no photos.  We only finished the top, so hopefully we can help him some more this week.  After helping him, he took us for some really good grilled chicken!  Elder Halladay said it was like Pollo Loco, New Zealand status..... But it was really good.  It was really expensive though, but much better than KFC.  

Later that day, we had our baptism in my ward.  It was the investigator that the sisters had.  It was fun! (This is where I was able to see President Kezerian one last time, and the office couple.)  Elder Halladays ward came too and I got to see the Chevy, Mesa people again!  Then right after that we got a call from the sisters that there is another baptism up in Titahi Bay for 2 children who were child of record but we had to go help set up and everything.  The meeting started 30 minute late which made me embarrassed.  The bishop asked us if we wanted to do the confirmation, I let Elder Halladay do one, and the grandpa did the other,  it was just a great night.  

How do you like the Lava Lava that Elder Otahouma left for me?

Elder Halladay having some fun!

How about this, I got us both in the pic!

Look at this stuffed dog from our investigators house!  

And I am going to call this a miracle on my mission.  My wound is already healed!  Fastest healing I have ever seen in my life!  It is like gone!  I don't worry about it anymore.  And it has only been a week. Yep, miracle if you ask me.  I love it.

Love, Elder Tuckett
