Fellowshippers

9-24-2018

Life is good this week, another month down, which makes me super pumped, this is a really long last lap.  My companion are doing well. Zone conference this week-food was good! We confirmed that lady who got baptized which was super powerful.  Funniest part about it though is that she and her roommates are all really pretty; so the YSA males in the ward are fighting over who gets to go with us to fellowship with them haha.  Its like "ELDERS!! yes it has been a little since I went teaching with you, when are you going to see so and so? Oh yes I can be free that day"  then like three minutes later another one comes and it is hilarious I love it.  

My mind just blanked, I have no idea what to title this.....

1: Slurrp

I found this wonderful weird thing at the store.  It is called slurrp.  And it is like this yogurt and juice and berry mix thing.  I was getting it just to see what it was like, but I ended up really liking it and finishing a whole liter in like 3 hrs.  Well the reason i am telling you this is,  it is not the best idea to drink a liter of yogurt juice berry stuff that quick.  

2:BAPTISM

We were privileged to have a baptism this Sunday! It was super fun, a little bit nutz though. mostly because our branch mission leader wasn't there so we had to improvise all the assignments.  But none the less we were able to have a wonderful successful baptism! I do have to apologize though because I forgot the cord to my camera and I have no card reader so i can't send pictures this week.  But it was great. we have a baptism scheduled next week and 5 more in October. 

Otherwise you guys have a great week!

Love,

Elder Tucker

Some missions have cars, some have bikes, but this is Kenya...

The subject will be explained in stories.  So without further procrastination... STORIES!!

1:  Where the sunsets...

So fun fact about Kenya.  Addresses are something completely foreign, so when you are teaching someone, you usually ask where they stay and they give you a very broad area and then you narrow it down by asking about shops you know in the broad area.  Well we were teaching this dude, who came to church once and asked him where he stays. His response was "you see where the sun sets? that's where."  Well we thought he was joking and we set up an appointment with him.  He was not joking.... that dude lives FETCHING FAR!! Legit at the top of the horizon.  Better yet we made it out there and he wasn't even close to being home, so we ended up just walking back.  It was a nice walk, good companionship building experience.  We also found a church the has "spiritual phenomenon and EXPLOSIONS of power" no wonder it is so hard to get people at church.

2: Our vehicles

So for our P day today.  I wanted to do something super fun.  So we rode ostriches.  It was so freaking fun!! I will share the video with you guys.  Elder Fuller and I brought white shirts and ties to get funny photos on the ostrich, It twas a great success.  They are kinda hard to ride, they like to bite your hand (no it doesn't hurt).  Also 1 ostrich egg is the equivalent of 24 chicken eggs.  Tastes about the same though.  We bought one a drilled a hole in the top and bottom and drained it.  Then made a loaf of french toast and three pans full of scrambled eggs. It was awesome.

Have a great week!!  Elder Teron

"What is your name?" He *says name*. "NOPE! you shall be known as Tucker's companion".

Whats up guys?  Last week was transfers so things were fetching crazy. I am cool this week.  I am still in Kitengela and now I m serving with a South African who is from the ward Jeron is serving in.  My companion "Q " was a fellow-shipper with Jeron's former companion Elder Smith in Queenstown. Crazy how life works!!

1: When you stand up at stake conference....

My companion and I were helping out greet people and passing out schedules for the stake conference we had Sunday.  We were the last ones to come in and sat just close to the door.  It was a great conference.  But the fun part was when this dude had to go to the bathroom or something, so he stood up and left.  Within like thirty seconds some little kid sat in his spot followed by his mom.  After like two minutes the dude comes back and just stares at his seat for like forty five seconds in awe... then awkwardly mouths to me and my comp "Where am I supposed to go???" then just shuffled to the VERY back of the room.  I don't know why it was so funny to me but I could not stop laughing for like five minutes.

2: My companions name...

My new companion is from Queenstown in South Africa, where Jeron(twin) is currently serving.  In that are they speak the language of Isixhosa.  Which is the one from Black Panther (the one that clicks)and my companion has a click in his name. Every time we went to an appointment people would ask his name.  He would reply with "you can call me elder Q" but Kenyans for some reason will not accept defeat. Over the past week I have been listening to try to speak Isixhosa and it has been so flipping funny.  My favorite was an RC of ours just was like "ah screw it I got this!" stared at his tag for a minute straight then did a bottle pop with his finger (the one you do that sounds like a cork pop) Then shouted SILE!! My companion just died laughing. So far the only people in all of Kitengela that can say his name is me and him! He is awesome and is crazy good at soccer, he plays professionally so it is cool, and he runs every morning so I have a running buddy which has been great! 

We should be having a baptism on Sunday!

love

Elder Tucker
