Where's my water just became very real.

I say this because from Sunday, we have had no water to our community of Scheepershoogte.  I really can't explain how to say that over a message, so good luck on saying that.  What we did though was travel to different Elder's boarding's for showers and washing.  Luckily we have water now, I guess they were fixing a pump going up the hill!  Did not think to give us a notice or any sort of heads up though!  Any who on to stories.

Story Number 1: You should go into radio.

This week we had a really slow week, so we decided to go through the ward list and to find some less active members we could maybe bring back.  Well we went to one family, that was Xhosa.  In my area there are a lot of Afrikaans speakers.  It is pretty fun to learn that but I really love using IsiXhosa.  Any who whilst we were there we were getting to know each other and I was sharing everything in Xhosa.  Fun fact about me is when ever I speak IsiXhosa I drop my voice for some unknown reason.  Just kind of happens.  Back to the story though, we were about to leave and they asked me to pray in IsiXhosa.  I did what I could, I can't say a whole prayer in Xhosa, except when I am blessing food.  I did what I could in what Elder Dlokova called "Xinglish", then the family said, "you have a nice voice, you should go into radio."  I said "I will think about that one".

Story Number 2: Family baptisms

Something else really cool that happened this week was some investigators that are getting baptized this coming Sunday passed their interviews!  This family has been coming to church for many many months and was ready to be baptized a long time ago, in my opinion.  We did not rush them though.  I have taught this family my whole time here in Uitenhage, so it was quite exciting for them to be prepared and ready to be baptized.  I guess when you work hard and give your all, the Lord will give you blessings.

Well I hope you all have a wonderful week. 

Love Elder Tucker

Dad, 

In the words of President Eyring's father "A young girl has gone home". Grandmother was the most amazing Grandmother ever.  I will be excited to see her again one day.  I also agree Linn, Sue and Grandma are having  lovely reunion.
