1st Week in the MTC

Greetings guys, This week has been great we went through the temple on Thursday, the Johannesburg

 temple is super small compared to Bountiful but it is beautiful.  Its like in the middle of a garden and its just really cool.  IF you ever get the chance definitely go. 

sorry for all the typos internet is super slow so i don't actually get a whole lot of writing time. One more week and we go out to the field. Teaching is becoming easier especially after we got chewed out by a couple teachers for missing a lot of the basics. ME and my companion  are doing awesome and the Whole MTC is having a great time. I probably wont be able to email next week because we leave Tuesday morning for Kenya, Yay!

 Anyways have a great week, love you guys. Sorry i cant respond to all of you

P.S. we cant send pictures because the internet is was too slow, so sorry, just know that i am still very good looking.

So first week in the MTC here in Johannesburg! Lets start from the beginning. I almost forgot my scriptures at the airport luckily my mom and dad are superheroes and they saved my butt! The flights were long there were an about eight other missionaries on our flight and we met up with about eight more in Atlanta. The flight here to SA was crazy long! especially when you cant watch movies or anything.  Ive found that being a missionary kinda forces you to read the scriptures haha, guess thats what i needed. We went to Mcd's and had African creme soda, its green and tastes super finky but it is really good!

The MTC! 

the Mtc is crazy here, we have a whopping 27 missionaries, crazy right?! The president and his wife are the coolest people ever and they are hilarious! There are four districts here the largest district is eight people, and Me and my companion are the zone leaders.

Everything is super chill its actually really nice! I love the teachers here and the other elders, especially the African ones are awesome. our district loves to make jokes and its great. we are mostly all together so districts don't really matter.

one of my favorite experiences so far was either hearing the prayers in different languages like sootu and zut and a name i cant pronounce, which is a lot.Or when we gave Elder ___ and elder ___ (both from Zimbabwe) some beef jerky! They lit up and devoured the whole bag it was hilarious! Another fun story was an elder(from SLC) broke the handle on the bathroom, and was locked inside.

Anyways love the mission so far and feeling the spirit! Its awesome here in SA and my accents are coming along nicely! And yes the toilets flush the other way here.

love, Elder Tucker
