Sorry I forgot last week, no excuse,just plain spaced it,"Pole".Elder Tucker

So what's up guys?  How is everyone doing?

To sum up what Africa is like these days: I will just quote from "The Legend of Tarzan" "...It's hot" -John Clayton III 

But you guys probably just want to hear some stories cause let's be real, it's the only reason you really read these emails.

Story one: "Dancing on my own, or at least I thought"- Elder J

So this week we went to an area called Rongai for district meeting.  The problem with Rongai is that is is freaking far away, but the great part about it is the buses that go there are LIT.  We are talking supped up with sound systems to make your ears bleed and they just play like 2000's rap music, and swahili stuff.  But as missionaries we take it where we can get it so my companion and I were singing along and dancing.  We were just having a great time.  Well I was sitting one row behind my comp, and the guy with my comp was approaching his stop, so when he got up to get off, he slid right in front of my comp then looks back directly at him, bites his lip and WINKS AT HIM! then gets off.  My comp was mortified. I on the other hand just laughed.

Story two: "I would walk five hundred miles...nah nevermind, its flipping hot"- Elder Tucker

So this is actually from last week.  Me and my comp no matter our best effort we couldn't get an appointment in the morning.  So our first appointment was at the church at 1.  So we decided to do something stupid and walk to the church then get some lunch.  The church, turns out, is three and a half hours away from our house, walking.  The diner we use is another half hour, so we walked for a solid four hours straight, with little shade.  It was a great day, and much bragging rights now. But we got absolutely no contacts, cause the road goes next to a wildlife park and nobody walks the road, cause they aren't stupid like us haha. but it was pretty fun.

Anyways, I would like to throw in that I was sad to hear about the news of President Monson, I loved him, and I do give that man all respect. He truly was a great man, and great leader.

Work is slow but starting to pick up in whatever area we are not so it's great, like if we are in Nakuru, we get call from Naivasha. If we are in Naivasha we get calls from Nakuru.  I am just happy that people are still calling though so can't complain. 

Love y'all have a great week

Elder Tucker
