info on the new area

Elder Tucker here and back :) So info on the New Area - It was unique being whitewashed (craigs mission shotguned) into an area. We arrived on the 2nd a Wednesday and didnt have a meal till Friday night, We Survived by getting food at little vendors, but it wasnt the best for the body if ya know what i am saying! haha and with the Companion, it was a little hard at first but we are doing much better now! we know much more members in the area now, and have investigators that are progressing, which i am so glad for :) I included pics of: Pic out the window of the plane when traveling to Panamà :) A beautiful pic of the Temple when we arrived :) - and then also a Pic of last P-day with me and my new Comp! Hope they are enjoyed!
The mission is difficult but i know when we trust in the Lord, things can always go better! :) I have a testimony of this great work! :)

new area, new companion

Good Afternoon! Well New area, new companion - My area is Chorrera, specifically Biancheri, my Companions name is Elder Hutchinson! Honestly and Sincerely its been very difficult.. in the past week i have experienced the Lowest of lows, but at the same time, i know if you trust in the lord and give yourself to him, he will bless you. I was able to recover and go from the lowest of lows, to the highest of highs :) there is strength in the book of mormon, it is true! I pray for strength and as we are in a completely new area, me and my companion! Short message this week -not much time! Love you all, I will write next week! take care-

We had the opportunity to have a member of the Area Presidency of the 70, come to the Stake Conference in the area i am serving in - Elder Martino. He is remarkable! I love the Church and Love how it is the same all over the world! - As for me, they are changing our Area into a Sisters area so i will be transfered next change - sad and exciting all at once.

another great week

Another great week out here on the mission! we are working hard! Elder Alley is from Bountiful, Utah,and we are doing great together! Definately improving the work from the past! Its Amazing to be surrounded by the tropical vegitation, palm trees - and all! I feel blessed to be out here, it definateley is one of the hardest things ive ever done, but rewarding. The Lord is incredible, I hope you are all inviting him into your lives each day :) The people are a humble people, its different here. just circumstances of living, and they will give the shirts of their back to help you :) The work is wonderful, we continue to meet people, lots of people, lots of amazing people! there hasnt been a baptism in my area for a while,and i hope we can change that, not by our strength but the strength of the Lord :) we must continue to work hard, and with Urgency! - I love it! take care i will talk to ya soon :)
