Alrighty, so I don't have a wonderful interlude to my email today sorry folks its been a crazy week.

We started out on Monday playing soccer with some other missionaries after spending like an hour at the office. We found out that our whole bathroom is getting redone, so we would be without a shower or bath for a few days. Luckily The AP's live just downstairs so we get to use their shower. Hopefully shower will be fixed soon our tile guy had to postpone, still waiting.

Our car sucks for one, and then something going on with the brakes. So we talk to the fleet coordinator to get it checked out. We had to take the car in on Wednesday. Dropping off our car and doing weekly planning at the same time so it was a very busy morning!  

Thursday we got a curve ball, we were to be a tripanionship that day with another Elder whose companion went home. So we were post elders/office elders for about half the day. It was kinda fun at first then super boring. Luckily we all got to go to our appointments for the rest of the day.

On Friday we are going to pick up our car. We asked the Senior Elder to take us to the dealership to get the car which is new to us. I named her-the car- Addison by the way if you were wondering. 

We do service each week.  Visit members kinda like home teaching. Visit new members, teach about Christ to anyone that will listen. Mom I am safe people are great here. They just ask us for money but are pretty nice when we don't have any. 

The Mission President was at the office and gave us some hints of the transfers going on. He looked at my comp and said, " Your getting a new companion". Turns out Elder K is going to Port Elizabeth. He is a super Elder and has done a great job as my trainer. 

Then the president turned to me and said "Elder Tucker are you ready to work?" I was quite confused. He then proceeded to tell me they were combining the two areas of Gugulethu.  My soon to be new companion Elder G. was in the other area of Gugulethu and since I know my half and he knows his half, together we will know the area. He and I have been frantically trying to plan to make sure we can funnel these two areas into the one, its been fun. The Lord will help us though to make it work so it will be nice.  

With the new area change we have about twenty five or so people with Baptismal dates! One for the twelfth of March that is the closest I think. 

Have a wonderful week everyone. Elder Jeron
