Hello Everyone!

 

I wish I could call home and answer everyone's questions! There just seems like there is no time for rest! We are on the go all the time including my brain. I have so much to talk about but when I sit down to email I cannot focus!

I miss everyone! I think about you all the time and I have to admit I cry sometimes. I thought it would be easy like college but that is not the case. I could call or skype whenever I wanted but now Email and when the time comes I cannot focus.

Well, Just a quick glimpse of this past week. I have gotten some referrals and love having the opportunity to call and chat with people online. My memory is getting better with remembering the history of the Pioneers and the buildings. We have seen tons of wedding pics the past 2 days and the SLC Temple has been closed since I got here and will be closed for 2 more weeks. Those silly Mormons! lol

I passed off for driving so I can drive! There are now 2 drivers in our Zone and 20 Sisters so I have a feeling I will be busy! Also I passed off on giving tours so I am "officially" a Temple Square Missionary!  Hurrah     (Since she passed off for giving tours she gets a free meal from the lion house!!)

We get 8 hours of explorer day and we are finishing the last 4 hours on Monday! Yay! We still have a lot of places to visit!   (I have no idea what she is talking about explorer day... guess that will be another question for her!)

We attended the Bountiful Temple this morning.  We left at 6! And I drove my district! We were so tired but it was beautiful! I cried just a bit, I am so blessed and I see miracles every day!

Oh mom, a worker came up to me and just hugged me and said I have been looking for you. I was like that was nice, then she explained who she was - Cathy Smith - your wedding reception was held at her house. Cool Cool. So many people that just come up to me and tell me that they know you!

So tonight we are going to see the Pioneer Concert with Prince HANS!!!!!! So excited!! We have so much to do and not enough time but it keeps us on our toes and helps us remember why we are here serving a mission.

We took a tour yesterday, there were about 25 people. No one referred but 2 cried and we know that they were touched by the Spirit.

 

I love the Sisters here ~ we are a great bunch!

Thank you all for the Love and support it means so much!

Love Sister Tuckett

Called to Serve!!

 

 

 

 

***In other smaller emails she mentioned that she has already worn through the soles of her favorite shoes and another pair hurts her feet so she is needing more shoes already!

 

She requested that we send her printed "talks" because she doesn't have access to a printer... so if you have a favorite talk from past conferences I am sure she would love to get a copy of it from you ... maybe you could write a little note on there telling her how you feel about it and the impressions you received while reading it.


The big group picture I sent out the other day,, was the afternoon group of sisters and Abby was in the morning group... so she wasn't in it!  No wonder I couldn't find her! 

My cousins, Lori and Barry, were able to see Sister Tuckett this week! 

They went to Brighton Girls Camp this week and did the ropes course.  Here are a few pictures from it.

Sister Tuckett and Sister Moran

 

Here is what I received from a friend ~ Cathy Smith ~ who Sister Tuckett mentioned in her letter above:

 

"Tender mercy at the temple this morning - I was left in initiatory 20 minutes longer than I should have been - went into wash my hands and a whole lot of Sister Missionaries were there. I said I knew of a Sister Tuckett from Oklahoma - they said she's here today. I said tell her hi from a Sister Smith but when I walked out I was prompted to walk over to the prayer roll - 4 sisters were writing - 3 were likely Asian and one not - I waited for the one not to turn around and you know who it was. I told your sweet daughter I was joining in the Where's Waldo with the Jenks ward - then explained who I was. If I hadn't been left in initiatory the extra time our paths would never have crossed. Great to see her  :) "
