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!!!!
