Ingugubeki iqana. Indoni? Iquanda.

So dear friends and family, my time in Gugulethu has finally come to an end.  I will be going the Eastern Cape to learn isiXhosa in Mother well area in Port Elizabeth.  I am stoked! Let's see what I can remember.

Story number one: Who is that? OHHH that's Nomsi.

We met a powerful family the other day and have begun teaching them, it's been absolutely wonderful! When we went to share the Plan of Salvation pamphlet with them. The family just kept telling us how awesome they felt when we were in their home. We taught and the spirit testified and also taught them, very powerful! We asked what they thought at the end of the lesson. The family answered "that they wouldn't be scared if anyone died because they would see them again".  Then the family came to church on Sunday and it was just awesome!  They are set for a baptismal date!

Story number two:

One of our recent converts, bless her heart, is one of the most honest ladies I know.  This Sunday we were recuperating from the "soldier" sized meal that mama J. prepared for us, and my companions were speaking in Tongan. She then told them "that she heard somewhere that it was rude to speak in a different language when others can't understand it". I almost couldn't hold in my laughter, because we cannot understand Xhosa, but hey if it's rude it's rude.

To explain the subject lien, this is a song/game that Xhosa children play. It is kind of like a rap and it it's really quite fun. I means "A chicken laid an egg! A what?  An egg". Then you repeat as long as you want to, but you have to make sure they can do the click in it or it sounds bad. 

I am so excited for this transfer. I got transfer news and I will fly to Port Elizabeth on Wednesday. I will be a follow up trainer for Elder W. in Mother Well. I hear it is on fire for baptisms so we are going to put some wood on that fire!

Love to all,

Elder Tucker
