I had asked him to think about a lot of questions while he was on the LONG plane ride (16-17 hours), like What do you want for your first meal? Where do you want to go, What do you want to do?"
His response:
I am planning on spending every spare moment finishing my study of the Doctrine and Covenants. I have been trying to finish reading and studying it. I only have 3 more sections until the end. And now--you are giving me more things to think about. I have no idea what I want to do, or what I want to eat, I am missing New Zealand already. I know that American food is going to seem weird to me. (I thought that New Zealand food was weird when I first got here)
Truthfully-- leaving my mission is going to be hard, everything is going to be so foreign to me again, but it is OK. I just need to trust in The Lord. I really don't know where the past 24 months have gone.
I am looking forward to seeing Maggie and the truck. I am having a rough time remembering Maggie, I hope she remembers me. It all just sees unreal to me. I don't know if I am spending the night in the mission home or with some Elders. It is going to be fun though. I was worried about leaving my area with Elder Inglis, but he is leaving the area too now, and Elder Christensen is going to take over my area, so all is good!
I love you so much! I will see you in 2 days!
Elder Tuckett
I had to say goodbye to all the ward today. It was hard.
This was from our baptism last week, she got confirmed this week. I am personally taking the baptismal record to the mission office myself! She is in good hands, I don't have to worry about her being less active with a family like that.
This is the part member family we have been teaching. I wish that I could be here longer for his baptism.
BTW... I lost that brand new shirt that you sent me to come home in. I am sorry, I have heaps of souvenirs to bring home though! That is what I want to do first! Unpack! I do not like living out of a suitcase!
