Well this is it. Me

This is the last weekly email I will send as Elder Tucker in South Africa. I will do my best to make it count.  So let us move on to stories.

Story #1: Last Exchange

This Wednesday we had exchanges where I left my area. We got to bike the whole day!  It was super fun.  It was so good to be on a bike a again.  The purpose of the exchange was to help a newer elder be more comfortable leading the area where he is serving.  I believe he did a fantastic job at it too.  We only had to less active lessons that day but they were both really good.  We got one of them to church this Sunday, so they really payed off.  We were both super stoked yesterday.

Story #2: That is what I call a final Sunday

Yesterday was one of the busiest Sundays of my mission.  We started out by taking some of our Elders to church in a township about fifteen minutes outside of Queenstown. Then we went to church to prepare for our baptism where.  Three of the four elders in the ward gave talks.  I was the concluding speaker.  Then we had The rest of church and then the BAPTISM.  In the morning my comp and I decided that if the person who was to do the baptizing did not show up that I would be the one to do it. I took my clothes. That was a smart choice because the dude was a no show. Then we had a bit of trouble with her baptismal clothing.  It all worked out.  Then little did we know but there was a also a child of record being baptized that day as well and they asked me to CONFIRM him after the baptism.  Which I did. Then we went home and crashed for about ten minutes before our appointments.  After that it was a normal Sunday.  Pretty hectic though.

Love you all and Thank you to all that have continued to read these emails.  I hope you all have a wonderful week. This is a picture of the baptism.
