| Honestly I wept at the prospect of my boy living here. But this is the way it is there in Africa. The people are happy and work hard. They are devoted to their families and live simply. They are humble and love God. They recognize his gospel when it is introduced to them. |

| His dad wants to buy him rubber handle bars. This is a hard way to build up callouses. He had them while weight lifting but they didn't start out as broken blisters. Tetanus is right!
Here is Elder TT's blog for the last time. They were only together for one transfer but I am sure it was long enough to be friends forever. These comps go through some very memorable times together bringing souls unto Christ.

What is up my homies?
So this week i dont have many
stories for you but we did get transfer news and i will be getting a
brand new straight from the mtc missionary. He is from zimbabwe so it
should be fun when we go meet people and they have to talk to the mzungu
instead of the african haha. but here goes for stories.
story number 1; I dont need that joke elders
So
on sundays when people are getting transfered usually the missionary
leaving gives his testimony. However when we got to church and told the
person conducting that Elder Fuller is leaving, he just laughed and
said i dont need that hoke elders. And He wouldn't believe us. so we
announced it again in priesthood, and the branch president is like why
didn't you give his testimony?! our defense being "We told malande!" at
this point malande stands up and states "Wait you aren't joking,
what?!!?!? so elder fuller didn't get to give his testimony and it was
quite funny. Looks like i will have some explaining to do next sunday.
story 2: Conductor Battles!!
So since we weren't sure if either of elder Fuller or me were staying in mombasa for any longer, we decided to mess with the conductors as much as we could. SO when you get close to a conductor if you are white, the usually say my friend! so we just started being really good friends, and like shouting i have never had a friend before, we can go to the store, and have sleepovers and eat candy and all that fun stuff, then they just look at us wierd and drive away. one time elder fuller followed this guy all the way to his matatu, almost stepped in and dabbed then turned around and walked out. THe other matatu conductors just laguhed their heads off and the one who got swerved was just furious. He started yelling at fuller in swahili but i couldn't translate cause i was on the ground rolling in the mud laughing.
Anyways have a great week you guys love you all
Sincerly Elder Tucker
