Back Where I Began

I am being transferred to Hastings.  It is up in the area where I started my mission so I am excited to see some of the friends that I made up there.  Elder Richardson (who I trained) will be my zone leader so I am excited for that.  I can't wait to see him!!!!  I don't know my companion, but I know it is going to be a great 8 weeks.  I will also be back in a car! 

I can't believe you went to the Phoenix temple open house again!  We are going to go to all of these temples when I get home, right?  The Phoenix temple looks beautiful!  

I got your package.  Thank you so much!  The big bag of sweet tarts are already gone.  And of course I loved the pens.  Thanks for the shirt and socks.  I am going to give several of my shirts to Elder Machee as well as socks.   He really needs them.  Thank you so much.  I forgot to ask for some space bags.  Mine are worn out but if I give away a bunch of clothes, then I think I can come home with only one suitcase.  We will see.  I am scared that I will have no clothes that fit when I come home, or have you sold them all?  

We had a surprise mustache party for this guy at district meeting today.  It was his birthday a couple weeks ago, and we forgot, so we wanted to do something fun today... So mustache party!  It lasted for 10 minutes, then we got straight to the district meeting. 

We had a great exchange this week in Johnsonville with this guy -- Elder Hamilton.  Got to see lots of friends that I met when I was in that area with Elder Holladay.  

Here we are at a recent converts house!

An amazing thing happened yesterday.  There is a recent convert in our ward that said to one of members that she didn't think the church was true any more and she was never coming to church again.  Then, she showed up yesterday, and said that she was sorry and confessed that she knew the church is true and the Book of Mormon is true.  It is great to see her come back to the church.  And even better that she invited us over before I left!  

D & C 88:104

"And this shall be the sound of his trump, saying to all people, both in heaven and earth, and that are under  the earth -- for every ear shall hear it, and every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess, while they hear the sound of the trump, saying: Fear God, and give glory to him who sitteth upon the throne, forever and ever; for the hour of his judgement is come."

I love you all and I know this is the Lord's work!

See you in Hastings!

Love, Elder Tuckett
