Well this week was awesome I had my first baptism. One picture only, I will explain later. Transfer news I'm not moving but I am getting a new companion. A New Kenyan Companion transferring from Kyulu, and he has already served in Langas. Elder L. is headed for Kyulu, he was great and he will be missed by everyone, especially me.
Okay so lets see I know you guys like stories, so here goes.
1)
Mr Brown can read the bible, can you?
So we did branch street-boarding
on Friday. Elder L our branch mission leader and myself were at the table answering questions. So this lady walks up to me and almost yelling already says, "Do you have a prophet today? I am getting excited like oh boy do we! I have a book for you, yes I do! Then she asks if we read the bible? I say "yeah we believe the bible to be the word of god". She then asks "If I can understand the Bible?" ( Now I am not great at it, but yes I feel like I can understand it. I know it pretty well) so I said yes. She did not like that one bit! She is now screaming at the top of her lungs "YOU DON'T KNOW THE BIBLE! YOU CAN'T READ IT! IT"S A MYSTERY BOOK!" She proceeds to tell me," there is one man alive who can, and that is some dude who says he's a prophet". The prophet,not Monson I checked. So I ask "why?" She says cause "he has the power of god in him". I am intrigued so I ask "what if... I... had the power of god?" She stares at me for like thirty seconds then says "PROVE IT!" I am like "OKAY!" and pull out a line of authority chart, and a Book of Mormon. She yelled at me for a while generally calling me a "liar", and then ran away it was fun!
Turns out we can't read the bible guys Sorry.
2) How much
laundry can an Elder
launder if an Elder could
launder laundry?
So it has been raining a ton which is super awesome because when it rains in kenya,
it rains! We are talking
Noah type rains its the best! However it is not the best when you need your laundry to dry. So I did my laundry
on Monday, then it rained, a bunch of mud splashed all over my white shirts. So I do my laundry again, and they get mostly dry by
Tuesday night. Well it rains again, same story
Wednesday, and
Thursday. By
Friday I had done my laundry by hand three times and ended up just washing one shirt at night that I would wear the next day. It was a little frustrating but it was still fun, my knuckles are different colors than my hands though its nice.

BAPTISM
I had my first baptism
on Saturday, his name is C.K. and he is fantastic, love that guy. A baptism-the font takes like three weeks to fill up if we want to use the faucet. So we have to use hoses from outside, and the water is not warm at all. The baptismal service was cool I gave an impromptu talk, it was a nice. After the baptism itself C.K. was invited to bear his testimony. All he could talk about was how when he came up out of the water, he took a big breath and it was cold. He had the restored gospel and spirit in there somewhere, but mostly cold and breathing.
I wanted to take pictures but my camera was being stupid and would turn off every time I tried to take a picture. I ended up getting 1 picture of my comp and C.K. in front of the church.Elder L's camera ws taken in the robbery a few weeks ago. We have better security now. However at the cyber I am at right now I can't upload the photo. I bought a new camera so that it will not happen again!
We should have about three more baptisms in the next couple weeks, and by the end of March we should have about seven more. We are working hard and killing it.
Welp... see ya
Elder Tucker
