Enoch in Nampa, ID

Dearest Daniel,

What a blast! I am so excited to see you so happy. You take things in stride with complete unwavering trust in the Lord. Thank you Dan for inspiring us all. We miss having you around but now I get to treasure my Mother's Day gift!

I will put the video of it on the google drive so you can download and watch for next pday.

Keep up the good work and remember how very much we love you and are proud of you. Saying goodbye was brutal and way too soon. I did read about other mishmommas out of power. Some could only talk without video. We were so blessed to be able to video chat in 4 countries, 3 continents in 3 time zones. I consider that a mighty miracle. God uses these means for His purposes.

Love,ma

Dear Ma,

A miracle i needed for sure! but for all my excitement i made a foolish mistake. i forgot to wish my loving mother a happy mothers day. i love you mom, thank you for everything yopu do. i miss you like crazy. 

Love, D

Elders F and T with their Muslim convert.

He called these the Jesus Caves but that is all I know, ha.

How much would they charge for a ride in this Matatu?

 From Elder Tucker:
 I will share some pictures I got.  Last monday it was raining a ton!  After emailing we went outside and the roads were covered in water, not just a little but they had turned into rivers, literally! We were almost swimming when we were trying to get home it was a blast we had so much fun!  For the most part the water was up to our knees.

Here are some more stories for you, cause I know that's what you skim over these for ( cause lets be real who actually reads this.)

Story number one!

"Elder you up for a run?"- Elder Fuller

So on this run/swim home, it was impossible to get a matatu.  We ended up walking towards home for about two hours.  After about an hour of walking Elder fuller looked ant me and asked this oh so wonderful question.  We proceeded to run through the flooded streets of Mombasa at night, screaming the song "Singing in the Rain", and sprinting through puddles.  At one point Elder Fuller thought he was stepping in a little ditch-ish thing and it turned out to be a creek so he just falls in to water about to his pecs and is screaming!  It was so funny we had an awesome time.

Story Number 2!

We had a baptism!!! This was with a brother named H. he was a Muslim when he got married the first time but his wife divorced him and took everything and left him with his two kids.  He got remarried to a Christian woman and she died and her last words to him were "Find god"  whatever religion he felt comfortable in. It was just really spiritual, so he showed up to the church one day. After teaching him the plan of salvation he got super happy.  Now he is baptized and he is super awesome!  The baptism was kinda fun though because we don't have an actual chapel, so the church has these like protable fonts, which are essentially blue dumpsters. I got to baptize someone in a big blue dumpster, and it was absolutely fantastic.  I am so glad to be helping these people come unto christ!

Story Number 3! 

I actually had a drunk man who was scared for Jesus here because in the bible it says "he will come as a thief in the night", so he was saying"if jesus comes as a thief in the night, the kenyan government will burn him because that is what they do to thieves".  Sometimes people take the bible so literally it is hilarious.

As well this week I got to talk to my family and that was an awesome experience.  Just two more times then I will be headed home.  Still feels like I am super new on mission.

Also to my mom, I love you and happy mothers day, to all the mothers who read this.  Also to the Missionary Mommas of Kenya and around the world, I am grateful for all the prayers and faith you give us you don't know how much it means to us missionaries!

Love Elder Tucker
