"The first plane did actually take off, about 40 min into the flight an engine blew, they let the gas out because the wing was on fire and the other 3 engines carried them back to Nairobi safely. He has this layover in New York then to Salt Lake"Sister Jameson. 

Jeron is in the air as well. Hopefully he has nice uneventful flights.

This has been my motto the last few weeks.  Kind of a "time flies when your working hard" but it rhymes so I like it better.  Want to hear my last stories?

1:Haircuts

Getting hair cuts in this mission is a lot like a Mario party game, you never really know if you are gonna win or just get wrecked. For my last cut, my district leader and I had some fun.  Instead of having some dude cut our hair  we were gonna cut each others.  (We actually did pretty good I think).  But the problem was neither of us had a buzzer.  So we went to Kinyozis and just asked to use their stuff.  We made a very good friend named Steve and ended up getting really cheap nice hair cutz.  It was a good time.

2:  Just mission in general

Well I would just like to say that mission has definitely been an experience.  I have felt happy and sad, mad, and insane, lots of homesickness, lots of fun memories. I found a wife (don't worry you will meet her next week). But I would recommend a mission. I don't know if I can say it has been the best two years; but I don't regret serving my Lord. I look forward to even more service as Brother Tucker.

SEE YOU NEXT WEEK!!!

love

Elder Tucker

What's up? Sorry I didn't write a letter last week I totally spaced.  Luckily repentance is a thing.

So.... you guys want to hear some stories? thought so, LETS GO!!!

Story 1.  How far are you willing to go for thirty shillings? 

When it means the difference between walking home through the ghetto at night or taking a ride, pretty fetching far.  I have an issue with the Matatu conductors in Buru buru. (if you are a conductor in Buru, you have one more strike before I hire Liam Neeson, be warned)  Well when we were coming back from our zone conference, we had some stupid guy who wanted to be a thief.  My companion had no small money and so I was paying for him.  I had 100 shillings on me at the time. Under normal circumstances that would be fine, however not this week.  I give the man the money expecting my change to come.  Well this dude thought he coud pull a fast one and tried to take my money. ALL OF IT!! After 20 min. of trying polite- then lots of arguing. We got the whole bus on our side starting a bus chant.  Then force ably keeping this man out of his Matatu, by hanging on the door.  I got my money! So did my district leader.  They know not to mess with us now haha.  Made it home safely so that was a win!  Also we are banned from that dude's Matatu for life ha-ha.  I am going home in a couple weeks so I didn't really care.

Story 2:  Now why on earth would you think that.....

I don't know exactly why but people think that I am crazy, absurd idea I know. No clue why, but apparently I am not normal, who would of thought?  Here are a few situations in which I have been called crazy.  Apparently it is not appropriate to sing a victory song at the top of your lungs in a food court after winning four consecutive staring contests.  Also not appropriate to trying jumping over bushes at mall playgrounds.  Same goes for showing up after zone conference with a Masai warrior-Halloween costume... (Africans really don't like Halloween). The caretaker gave me his spear for the pictures. These all happened this week, so can't wait to find out how the rest of my mission goes haha.

Love you guys Elder Tucker

Jer- Here in Kenya we just take the sunburns like a real men!!!!
