"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
