So this week I don't have many stories for you, but we did get transfer news. I will be getting a brand new straight from the MTC missionary. He is from Zimbabwe so it should be fun when we go meet people and they have to talk to the Mzungu instead of the African.
"I don't need that joke elders".
So on sundays when people are getting transferred usually the missionary leaving gives his testimony. However when we got to church and told the person conducting that Elder Fuller is leaving. He just laughed and said "I don't need that Joke elders!" He wouldn't believe us. We announced it again in priesthood, and the branch president is like "Why don't you give his testimony"?! Our defense being "We told Malande!". At this point Malande stands up and states "Wait you aren't joking, what?!!?!? Elder Fuller didn't get to give his testimony and it was quite funny. Looks like I will have some explaining to do next sunday.
From my letter:
Thank you mom for the motivational quotes. It may not seem like it over email but there are times when its hard to remember why you came out here or who you really are. There was a quote by Elder Bednar during the last mission broadcast. "When asked the question what is your advice to missionaries whose efforts don't seem to be paying off?" He said "I hope that missionary remembers who he is, and that he/she hallows each and every door they knock on." Really, really powerful to me, now I don't knock on doors or go tracking cause in Kenya it would be useless but still every effort I give is worth something.
From Dad's letter: Week was pretty good, we got another baptism set up for a couple of weeks, so that was awesome! I think I have had some of the things missionary greenies get hit with this last week, just a little late. Now I am doing better and feeling excited about the next phase of this adventure.
Anyways have a great week you guys love you all
Sincerely Elder Tucker
P.S. Camels are dinosaurs fact!
