Sister Tuckett at Temple Square

Hello everyone!

I hope that you will have a wonderful time this Christmas and to remember the reason for this season!

I never seem to know what to write about, there is so much that is going on here!

Well it has only been one week with my new companion Sister Ennis, and she is just Amazing! We are now serving in West Gate. That is where we report tours, send out messages letting the sisters know about things happening on the square, inform the sisters about movies that need to be played and tours to be taken! It is super fun. But we have to watch what we do... lol, the guests can see us perfectly but we cannot see them until they are like 2 feet away when it is dark outside. So I am sure they say that we are crazy sometimes! lol We have to keep reminding ourselves that they can see us!

We had the opportunity to attend a Christmas dinner last night with the Ostler Family! Brother Ostler was a mission President in Canada. We were sharing experiences with each other and it was the best feeling ever. Just talking about how the gospel has blessed our lives, our families and those that we have come in contact with. They were super loving and helpful as they gave us advice! They said to follow the spirit and that there are NO coincidences and they shared some stories and we did too! So many!! Their granddaughter is serving in NC and he just started reading her new email when it started talking about Temple Square. No way! lol She just went on exchanges with a sister from TS and he began to laugh saying No coincidences. He also talked about a young man named Benjamin from Africa that is about to serve his mission in CA. He was telling us his story when sister Ennis and I looked at each other and said that we met him the day before! Again No coincidences! We shared a message with them, "He is the Gift" and we talked about how Christ and living his teachings has changed our lives. I ended up talking about the Atonement. It was the most spiritual experience I have had! I love serving here at this special time of the year!!!

Today as we were standing in line to check out we glanced at the magazines by the register... we began talking about what makes those people happy. We came to the conclusion that a lot of people find happiness in many ways and most being harmful. People resort to drugs and things like that but that doesn't bring happiness at least not long term... The gospel is true and it can fill/heal all sorrow, and void. Christ can change us and help us discover our purpose and the way to everlasting happiness!! He is the way and the life!!!

This week 2 of our investigators got married and are getting baptized this weekend! Daniel and Crystal! They are so cute and have been able to see many Christmas miracles!! We are enjoying our companionship and laughing too much I dare say, but the work is good and I am looking forward to what this next transfer brings!

I miss and love you all! Have a happy and fulfilling Christmas season!!

Love Sister Tuckett

She said she went through a drive-thru for the first time in 6 months today!!!

I posted this picture on my "Missionary Momma's" group on facebook last week saying Sister Tuckett and Sister Ennis would be companions! Below the picture is a comment left by another "momma".....

Colleen Gittins "These 2 sisters along with Sister Lau from Hong Kong and Sister Linaris from Mexico, spoke in our Sacrament meeting today (December 14, 2014). They did a great job! You could feel their spirits. It was a beautiful meeting. Sorry no pictures. I didn't have my phone with me. You can tell Sister Tuckett is loving her mission."

(Made this momma happy to read that!!!)

Melissa Clarke and Rachel Stephenson found Sister Tuckett Monday December 15th!

Abby was able to go see the Christmas Concert!

Sister Tuckett and Sister Ennis covered for other sisters in the Beehive House.

"We saw Pres. Eyring when we were in the tunnels and we didn't know what to do! We were just shocked. He smiled and waved to us. We also saw the back of Pres. Utchdorf's head too!! And Elder Cook!"
