Story Number 1: What does your shirt mean?
This week we were on exchanges with the zone leaders. The zone leader that was with us unfortunately broke his leg playing soccer, so we had to go in for his check up to see if he could take off his boot. Why we were waiting for X-rays, there was a guy that saw us and nearly shouted to the whole hospital. ELDERS! We started talking with him for some time about how he has met missionaries and things. He was trying to be all sneaky like and make us think he was a former investigator and what not. That is what some people do here? Unfortunately he wore the wrong shirt, because it was his mission shirt. I noticed this and very slyly but nonchalantly indicated to his shirt, then as he looked down asked, "What does your shirt mean?" He then told us about his mission in Melbourne. The best part was when he and his father were about to leave. They kept asking if we were okay or needed anything. We of course said "we were fine". The Dad then said, "Elders, we need the blessings, can we please buy you something." So we let them. Great food. I love nice members!
Story Number 2: Number 11 and 12
One thing that happened this week was my companion getting transferred, putting me in a tripanionship with the other Elders in my district. Which makes 3 areas and twelve companions now for me. It has been really fun because they are two amazing elders. The coolest thing though is that the Lord knew this was going to happen because in our first few daily planning sessions. The appointments that I had set in my area were the blank spots in theirs, and the blank spots in mine were their appointments. So everything fit together so smoothly and effortlessly. It was amazing. Then everything went great from there. It's just that we now have a lot more kilometers because we cover a lot of area. WHOOOHOO!
That is all I have for you this week. Love you all
Elder Tucker
