*Loud unsettling scream, while being submerged in water". "We have to do it again...SORRY" Me.

Welcome back to Elder Tuckers updates from Kenya,  this week was filled with lots of teaching appointments.  We did a lot of home teaching so it helped me to meet a lot of members.  It is just like my dad always said, home teaching isn't done in October or December cause no one wants to be bothered on Halloween or New Years Eve. But here are some of the highlights

1: War Paint!

So today we went to help a less active with his shamba (garden) work.  I did a little bit with the jembe (hoe) but mostly we just planted seeds.  Well for some reason they put some paint on the seeds, so my hand turned pink.  Well my brain thought " hey this would be some good war paint!". So I put three lines on my face, and chased around the other Elders screaming "war paint, and trying to put pink hand-prints on their faces, good times, only got one though".

2: BAPTISM!

This is where the subject comes in.  We had two baptisms this week, one of a fourteen year old boy, and a sixteen year old girl.  Both from part member families.  Well in Eldoret there are no water heaters, and the water is flipping cold, especially for Kenyans.  So the guy was fine, but when the girl was baptized, she started screaming as she went under, then almost passed out when she was brought back up. Sadly she lifted her leg up and it came out of the water so we had to do it again. I felt so bad to tell her that but immersion is how we got to do it haha. We got it the second time though!

Anywho, have a great week guys, hope you enjoyed conference. Have a good week.
