So this past week has been crazy!

I went on tons of exchanges and learned a lot but they definitely have been helping me get out of my comfort zone! The sisters are so great!

So last night... I had the best night ever on the mission!  Long story short, I felt like we should go to the NVC (North Visitor's Center) to the basement (Scriptures and Revelation exhibits).   Anyway, there was no one down stairs and I was on exchanges with my Zone Leader, Sister Reed. We turned around the corner by the Welfare and Humanitarian exhibit and there was a blanket and 2 shoulder bags and a purse laying on the ground. So we were trained at the beginning of last transfer about suspicious items that are unattended in the Square (Temple Square).  Well we went and looked closer at the bags and could see that things from the displays were in them, someone was stealing! We cannot touch unattended things so we called security and 10 of them came within 3 mins. We are safe here! Well one of the security guards started going through the bags and some other sisters came wondering what was going on. The person left a purse with their phone and things. It was fun trying to figure things out. After 45 mins the guy came back with his pockets bulging and said "What are you doing with my stuff?" So he pretty much turned himself in. And they banned him for a year, they had to take down our names... I said "Sister Tuckett"... lol "No, your full name sister!" hahahaha

Well anyways it was fun! By the end ~ 8 sisters joined in and we all were trying to help security. We all treat them like our dads and they treat us like their daughters! It feels weird to be watched all day long and then on p-days leave the Square and feel unprotected.

The weeks seem to be going by faster and faster!

I love you all and hope all is well!

Called to Serve
Sister Tuckett


****************
Sister Tuckett loved her "adventure" last night so much that she says she wants to be a detective now!


It was like pulling teeth today, trying to get anything out of her!  These are a few little tidbits that I did get:

She said her favorite scripture changes almost every week.

This week it is Mosiah 23:21
21 Nevertheless the Lord seeth fit to achasten his people; yea, he trieth their bpatience and their faith.

She said: "God knows all and he knows what is best.  It just depends on your heart - whether you choose to learn from mistakes or trials we have.  Patience and Faith."

She is still getting to drive. 
Sister Arrieta speaks English really well and is from Manilla Philippines.

Right now she spends about 4-5 hours outside... but that will probably change when they turn the Christmas lights on.
She had to buy herself some new dress boots - she has some warm snow boots but they don't want the sisters wearing those until it starts snowing. 


These are the only 2 pictures she sent me this week.
Sister Arrieta served her outbound in Alabama and she had taught someone who was baptized on November 14th.

  1. Sounds like they have their own personal bodyguards ;-) Can't believe someone would steal from the exhibits....good thing she followed her inspiration.
