We keep Pinching Ourselves!!




As I look at our last post we were loving the beaches of Hawaii, and we were already to book our flights and plans for next year. We had a great time at the Sony Open, and there is nothing like Hawaii in January.

But then something happened that we were not planning on, we were at Costco, you know samples and lunch? I received a Restricted call and a sweet female voice said is this Brother Tom Tucker? I said yes, she said Elder Quintin L. Cook of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles would like to meet with you and your wife sometime next week.

Our life has been a blur every since, that was about the 2nd week of February, and on the 4th of March President Uchtdorf of the First Presidency called us to serve as Mission President to the Mississippi Jackson Mission beginning in July of this year for 3 years.

We were honored to be considered, and now we are humbled at the call, and with the faith, prayers and support of our family we believe that we can do this. Of all the questions that we have been asked, and answered the easiest ones to answer are the ones concerning our children, and their families. They are wonderful, and we would not be able to do this if it were not for their love, and support. Thanks again. We love you all.
