It is OFFICIAL!!!!

December 16, 2015 Sister Tuckett will return home!

This came on August 14th!

Now we just have to wait for the flight itinerary!

I am with another spanish companion from Argentina! Her name is sister Alliaud

 and...

"Sister Tuckett you are here by called by the Lord to serve as a DL (District Leader)."

 

 

Another transfer has come and gone. Time is a strange thing. I am going to miss Sister Nevil! I am glad that I had the opportunity to serve with her for 3 months, she has taught me so much whether she knows it or not.

We had transfer conference on Monday and every time the departing sisters share the most important advice with us, as if they were telling their little sisters. I loved this one,"RUN" don't walk the time is short. Acronym for "RUN" Repent daily, Unrestrained, and Notice who it came from. The acronym is how can we follow the Spirit fully. Without the Spirit we cannot teach. That is the most important thing in missionary work is the spirit!

Also speaking of new transfers I am getting a new companion! Her name is Sister Alliaud and she is from Argentina! My 4th Latina companion, I think the Lord is telling me that I need to learn Spanish! ;-)   And also, I have been called to be a District Leader. I am really looking forward to serving the Sisters in my district and I know that they will be great blessing to me!

It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas! They have been putting up lights for the past month! I kinda got Sister Nevil hooked on singing Christmas songs during companionship studies and while we are getting ready in the mornings! Lol!  Gonna miss her but I will see her everyday so that will be nice!

So we found Bob, from chat, last week during exchanges. He is from Africa and said that he wants to learn more about the church. Long story short, he is on date for baptism next week, August 26! He is soaking it all in, he keeps saying "I am on the right path." He is, I love him so much!

Life can be hard, in many ways, we all experience different challenges, but without them we wouldn't need faith, we wouldn't need to trust in God. I love this quote, "Never lose faith in the Lord's faith in you." I never thought about that, it is important to have faith in ourselves too, to call upon the Lord for help. Faith is action, have faith that you, as a child of God, can do hard things!

I love you all! I hope that you have a wonderful week!

Called to Serve

Sister Tuckett 


Email was not too good today.  Wondering if the server was messed up.  Hardly got any emails from her today.  Glad we got the blog letter before it messed up!

A kind person sent this to me last night!

The only picture I have this week.

 

 

 

 

Excerpts from Sister Nevil's email to her mom:

 

We had West Gate and then had to drive a Sister to the Doctor. We got lunch at Costco (AYYY $1.50 hot-dog and drink). There was a lady sitting by us and walked over and gave us each a $2 bill. She said "ice cream's on me today". We were so full (it's a big hot-dog), but we got our ice cream anyways. Such a sweet lady! One of the Sisters had a birthday party, so we went to her apartment (right above ours) for dinner!

We met a guy who makes documentaries and had a SUPER CUTE DOG!!! We stopped to pet his dog and ended up talking about the Book of Mormon. As Sister Tuckett was talking, the dog came and sat at her feet. The man said "well, looks like you just converted Charley!" Haha, it was great. We converted a dog.

And a picture!

 

 

Tuesday evening... I got an email from her saying the server went down and no one could email anymore.. but that she had 15 minutes to email.  But,, now she isn't emailing again!

 

BUT!!!!!

Marie N. went back to Temple Square and gave Sister Tuckett and Sister Nevil some more treats!!!

Thank You Marie!!!!!

 

Here is what she sent me:

 

"Quick trip up to Temple Square today so I could take a treat to the two Southern Belles before their transfers tomorrow. Sis. Tuckett's mom had given me Grandma Tuckett's Caramel Corn recipe, which she said is one of her favorite treats. So I made some and then cut up some fruits and vegetables so they could have some quick healthy snacks. Didn't stay long, and they were talking with some people when I found them so I tried not to interrupt. I realized I had forgotten my camera, so just had to use my iPad. The Temple was really pretty today, so I took a couple of shots and was liked that the Utah State flag cooperated with being somewhat unfurled."
