HELLO EVERYONE. 

I didn't die, just went to the MTC, so you actually can still write to me if you want.. .. 

Well first off, HOW crazy is it I am on a mission right now? 

When I walked into the MTC I got a envelope and saw that my companion was ANA COOK! !! My old USU roommate! WHAT?! #godlovesme

These few days here at the mtc have taught me a lot about myself, and my relationship with my Heavenly Father. 

We basically study 24/7 and I'm not even mad about it. I LOVE IT! 

--------------------------------------

 Sister Cook and I pretty much are pro at the MTC. We've got everything figured out. 

We always get the sack breakfast/lunches because the cafeteria food is garbage. And then for dinner we get like a wrap/salad or something you don't start to throw up while eating. 

(no Laney, I haven't had any icecream..) 

-My zone is alright, basically we have a lot of "SWEET Spirits" in our zone. But my district is sick, and the Elders are going to Provo, Ut on their missions... ahah aha. 

--Next week we get 18 new missionaries in our zone!  So, that's cool. 

-We get to go to the temple twice because we have two pdays here, and then 2 more times on -Sundays for 'temple walks'. 

-GYM TIME" Is the best time of the week. I feel like it's 'yard time' for prisoners.. Haha. 

-Yesterday during gym time, I didn't want to run with Sister Cook because I have the WORST blisters on my heels ever. I'm an idiot for not breaking in my shoes.. 

So I ended up playing four square (gay I know) but I was the only sister, and there were like 12 Samoan and Tongan Elders playing with me. And they just kept yelling/laughing at me. 

-So, now I am tight with all of the Poly Elders in the MTC and basically I was a Polynesian in the pre-existence  and I was sent to the wrong family ;) hahaha

The best part of the MTC is hearing "Aloha Sister Tenney" from across the entire campus. 

-The cream soda tree is 'real' but it smells like bark to me. And I don't understand the hype. 

-Oh, we fly out of here on the 7th of July and we're getting picked up from the mtc at 3:30 am.. so I'm not sure what time I'll be calling.. but it'll be early. 

I think something huge I've learned this week is that there is a big difference between obedience and righteousness. 

I am happier than ever and I love being a missionary. I hope to hear form you all soon. 

Dear Elder works really well. 

OH DAD, read 2 NE 31:8--- remember that story in your mission journal about that white dove when you got off the bus in Brasil?? 

OKAY, PEACE OUT 

- Sister Samantha Tenney 

OH, I'm on like the one sucky computer that doesn't upload pics.. so sorry. 

Mom, will you send me that stuff for blisters? love you.
