So this week going to be completely honest with you I was lost, mentally and physically. We had transfers so I have a new comp again, his name is elder Ochieng so this makes seven transfers and at the MTC seven companions, been super fun though! I get to learn a ton of different languages. My newest one is a Kiluo greeting, if it the morning you say 'Ichieo nade? And for Afternoon or night you say "Irio nade?" the response is "Maber" (sounds like a really drunk dude saying my bear).
STORY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Number 1: Sooooo, where do I sleep?
With the elections transfers were delayed, until we got out, which happened on thursday!! Then we found out that Elder Odhiambo would be going to Busia, so we had to race back to Naivasha pack all his stuff in like thirty minutes! Then high tail it back to Nairobi so he can get to the mission home. Well in all the madness of fast travelling and packing I guess they forgot that Elder Odhiambo had a companion. They didn't know where I was going to stay, so I got to go back to my favorite place that's right folks. Elder Tucker went back to the Upperhill apartment. Which meant I had stayed in Upperhill last transfer more than in my own houses. Funny how that works.
Number 2: Toothbrushes, Tracting, and traveling.
While I waited for my companion to get to Nairobi I got to work with the office elders and we went tracting; which I really never do, it was interesting. I only had one dog try to chase us, but turns out he just wanted someone to pet him, good dog though ( I love dogs).
As well we were also housing the Elders coming from Tanzania, one of which had an electric toothbrush, which freaked out the Kenyans. So what I did is convinced Elder K. to turn it on and put it on my neck. For me it would vibrate my neck, but he didn't know my part of the plan. When it touched my neck I proceeded to scream and fall and the ground and start faking a seizure, so when that happened Elder K.( Now booking it for the nearest exit is shouting at the top of his lungs "I AM SORRY TUCKA!!!!" and the other African Elder is cowered behind the couch. I started laughing so hard and another elder is rolling on the floor next to me. Don't worry after a little while we calmed K. down and told him sorry, what it was and how I am fine. Good fun though. He wasn't too mad.
Anyways that is it for me this week, mission is fun as always.
Elder Tucker
Hey Momma,
My new companion is Elder O. he is a cool dude, and was actually in my district in Mombosa, It is cool to be with him again as companions this time. He is close to finishing his mission so it will fun taking him down the homestretch. I feel overwhelmed;I have spent maybe two weeks in each area. It felt amazing to return home to my area-one of them. I have resources so it isn't a complete white wash.
I got to go tracting with Elder L. who is a silly dude and we had fun. Finally met Elder C. who I brought the package for, he was super fun to talk to. He is actually going to serve in my first area in Langas, with my old comp Mauthiani so I told him he will have a great time.
To answer your question about teaching. I have taught with a USB that has the Mormon messages. However 90% of the people here don't have a TV let alone one with USB capabilities. I do have a DVD of the Churches Bible videos and I watch them when I am able, I really like them. The New Testament is one of favorite books. I know the Book of Mormon is the keystone of our religion but I love studying the Life of Jesus Christ.
