I am glad you loved your conference. It sounds like you learned some amazing things about the light. It reminded me of something, did you know that if you look up temple in the bible dictionary it says that the temple is the most sacred place, and the home is the 2nd. Pretty cool, that our homes can be just like the temples. Even more why we should be careful what Internet we allow and what TV we watch and allow into our homes. It can instantly take away the spirit and the peaceful feeling we find in our homes.
This is me and Elder Richardson helping out the Salvation Army! We got to smash some things, lift some couches, and organize the beds they were selling. It was great!
I had exchanges this week with my son, Elder Richardson. We had a blast together. We had fun remembering the old times that we had down in Queenstown. We even made some of the crazy foods that we used to make when we were together and talked a lot about the people we taught. It was great to hear how some came around from totally hating us to letting the missionaries in. It was so good to hear. While we were in Napier, we had splits with the members and got to see a lot of the members from Napier. Then the member I saw at a baptism in Featherston was here and we got to go on splits with him here! It is great to know that I have really good friends from my first area that still remember me after heaps of missionaries have been through their ward since I was here. I also got a new Elder in my District that was from my old District at Titahi bay! I don't know why he got moved here, but it was sure great to see him. Then, I got to see an older couple from Featherston! They were up here going to a funeral, then they came to our ward on Sunday. And..... one more, today as we were riding to the Internet shop, I saw a member from the Omahu Ward, my first ward. I got to stop and talk to him. So you can see, I have just had a flood of memories come over me this week.
Also this week we got to have district meeting with President and Sister Hudsen. The whole meeting was on the Holy Ghost. It was another big eye opening meeting for me. I loved it. We listened to a talk from Elder Holland about the Holy Ghost, and just like every one of his talks, it just changes who you are. The Holy Ghost is a member of the godhead and we as members of the church can have the Holy Ghost with us as all times (if we are worthy) to help us through this life. There are just so many things that he does for us. I just can't imagine how busy he is. He protects us, teaches us, brings us to remembrance, he guides us and comforts us. There is just so much, we could talk for ages about all he does for us. Who wouldn't want him to be with us all the time. I just love it. So this week I grew a great love for the Holy Ghost and all that he has taught me and I know that he will always be with me. Jesus Christ and God the Father and the Holy Ghost are all one. One in perfection, and purpose and direction but all different personages. I love this work!
Love, Elder Tuckett
P.S. Would you ask Bishop Garn what he would like me to talk about? And I am going to be inviting my friends! I still have heaps of missionary work to do in Arizona when I get home!
