Hello I bet you're wondering why I've gathered you all together today.  That is a great question and as soon as I know the answer; I will let you know. In the meantime,  here are some adventures from the week...

#1

My companion and I get a call last Monday at about five saying that this dude needs to meet with us asap.  Now getting in touch with this certain investigator is difficult.  We had taught him the restoration and Book of Mormon last lesson.  We didn't quite know what to expect.  So we ask him where?  He was right next to the church building which is very close to our flat. We were like okay just stay there, and we will be there shortly.  He tells us he has been reading the Book of Mormon everyday, and loves it.  Now last lesson he was very quiet about his religious background.  Yeah this guy is a pastor at his own church and asks us to go to his church and introduce the Book of Mormon to his whole congregation.  So I am like what the what, and he bears his testimony that it is word of god. My companion and I are like "well can we do that".  So we talk to pres and it turns out we actually might be able to teach this whole congregation but, he has to meet with president first. Most interesting lesson we had this week.

New years,  this is a two part

Part 1, New years eve.

We had a seminar with the mission president and Kitale elder.  Fun time learned some cool stuff,  memorized some scriptures. Sister m, presidents wife, gets us all pizza.  One pizza per companonship, now I hadn't eaten that day cause the morning was nuts. I eat like half our pizza some of other elders who didn't want any, I had a lot of pizza.  Then it turns out they are doing a missionary reunion at the same chapel.  And when you are offered food here you take it, to be polite, so we are offered a plate of food. Keep in mind I pretty much just ate a whole pizza, so we say yah "a little".  This lady dishing up the food, proceeds to give me and the other elders a mountain of rice, potatoes and chapatis. Whoever thought I might starve here you were WRONG. I am worried I can't finish this buffet bar that they've put on my plate, but you gotta try to be polite.  I did it, it was the hardest thing I have ever done. It was good food but my stomach is not meant to eat the equivalent of five meals in an hour.  Now at this point I am so full that it looks I am six months pregnant with twins.  Then we have to go back to Langas, Matatus(bus) and full stomachs don't go very well together. I made it and only almost threw up like four times haha. The rest of the day was slow, very but we made it and went to bed

Part 2,  The surprise

For any of you wondering new years is a very big deal in Kenya, neither me nor my companion knew this. So we are asleep at ten thirty cause we were frankly full and tired. Midnight rolls around and all of the sudden... THE ENTIRE COUNTRY OF KENYA STARTS YELLING AT THE TOP OF THEIR LUNGS!! FIREWORKS ARE GOING OFF!! THE APARTMENT BUILDING IS SHAKING! So i jump out of bed scared out of my mind and can barely hear anything and me and elder l are like what is going on!? Why is everyone screaming, then we remembered it was new years. I calmed down a little but I thought there was like an air raid or something.  The screaming went for about an hour then everything cooled down, and I went back to sleep. If you can get a Kenyan New years alarm you will never sleep through your alarm, ever.

Anyways, have a great week yall. I was gonna do the same bat time same bat channel thing but Jeron already beat me to it,  guess that happens when you're twins.  Well love you guys

Elder Tucker (The Superior) that's right Jeron, I said it, you can fight me.
