Hell awaits us-Elder Seni

This week we have been having trouble with our car, yesterday was the worst.  As we were leaving a house this is what my companion said.  It killed me.  Our car would not start so we had to do some messing around with and it finally started.  We haven't had trouble since.  I guess it just needed some sense beat into it.  But onto stories.

Story Number 1:  He is Fijian.  Polynesians don't mess around with food. - Me

Every Sunday here in Mdantsane, we have a dinner appointment at someones house.  At this appointment we got there and they gave us food, and prayed.  To me that is a sign that you start eating. We did.  Then our bishop comes to the house and sees that we have finished our food.  Now this was not his house but he came in and said, Elders, you're finished?  You did not wait for me?  We all just kind of sat in shock that he was saying this because we had no idea he was coming.  We were not told anything and no one stopped us from eating.  So I pointed at my companion and said the above statement.  Then we all had a good laugh.  It was funny.

Story Number 2:  Faith and Works

Yesterday and here in Mdantsane, I have learned a lot about faith and works.  And yesterday we had a great example.  We were planning on walking with someone to church.  We left the boarding early, drove to the area and walked to his house, which was the farthest part of our area.  When we got to his house.  He wasn't able to walk with us to church because he got stabbed by broken glass the day before and got a pretty gnarly gash on his foot.

For some reason I was not bummed because I knew somewhere somehow we had put in work and we would get blessings.  And we did!  When we got to church we had 11 of our investigators there! A son got baptized and was in another ward. He wanted us to teach his whole family in our area.  The whole family that could not come to church because of work;  But the family was able to get work off!  We were overjoyed to see that. We love when converts want to share their happiness with their whole family.

I have been transferred back to Port Elizabeth in a different area. I am excited. 

Love you all Elder Tucker
