Weekly planning? We don't need to do weekly planning. We just put the standards of excellence, and WE HIT THEM!!

So its been an awesome week this week.  We have had some powerful lessons and super funny stories. I have come to learn some Tongan because both of my companions are from there! It's really fun.  Oh and we also hit the Standards of Excellence which I was quite excited about. Remember "putting the standards of excellence as our goals, and asking Heavenly Father for specific numbers or people to find".  Now stories:

Story number one: Where's my companion? Over there. No the other companion.
Its been really fun being a tripanionship, it was pretty hard to get the teaching flow down the first few days.
There has been a lot of exchanges this week because people need a companion and I have one to spare.  It was really interesting yesterday because we didn't really tell the ward we were getting another missionary. It was a surprise, and so everyone was coming to meet him and then asking for things. We were pretty much running around like chickens with our heads cut off.  It was fun.

Story number two:  Where is Victoria Mxenge?
So whilst helping the assistants my companion Elder F. was testing the promises of the Lord at the airport.( And as they were doing so, they met a man who has been looking for Elders for quite a while. He is a driver and he met a man.  My companions talked to him, got his details, and set up an appointment.  He said, "he lives in Victoria Mxenge".  Which on the map is near Kylitsha.  So we go there and cannot find his street.  Then we learn there is a Victoria Mxenge near Clairemont, he says "it's near Phillipi".  So we go to Victoria Mxenge Rd. and were told it's not what were looking for.  But the people we asked they knew how to get there.  They all told us "to go through the robots and then your there".  Well you can't go through the robots because they direct you to only turn right or left.  So we go right, talk to some people and finally figure out where to go!  We get there and this guy has been prepared by the Lord!  My goodness he accepted the baptismal invite and so did his family! It was absolutely incredible!

So that's the stories I have for you today. 

Love Elder Tucker
