This week we popped our soccer ball. Luckily there are a few elders here that know how to fix them. So this elder tried to fix it and his test was to spit on the ball. He is a very interesting elder. I love him a lot. Well on to stories.
Story Number 1: Wednesday day off
So this week we heard about some taxi strikes that were to happen this last Wednesday. When we heard all of our Elders were concerned about getting to their areas since they all use taxis. Well as my comp and I were discussing what to do, we got a message from the president saying that we were all to stay in the boarding the next day. We were super bummed. Yes we were safe from nothing because there were no strikes that happened in Queenstown. We spent the day playing basketball at the chapel and skipping rocks at a pond near our house. Going back to basketball though. In our mission and a lot of the missions in Africa the most played sport is soccer. I was tired of playing soccer. My companion is also a stellar basketball player so I wanted to see if we could play some ball. We did and it was awesome! I lost, but it was worth it!
Story number 2: Gospel principles
Yesterday the senior couple in our ward was teaching a lesson about the family. It was not what we were expecting, but he was truly lead by the spirit in what he did. The lesson was absolutely amazing for all present and was a great way to spike interest in some of the non-members that we had at the church that week. It was a great lesson.
Sorry this email was a bit short and rushed. It is a public holiday here and everything closes early. Love you all and have a great week.
Elder J. Tucker
