Polish Town Fair in the middle of Polish Town, USA 8/18/14

August 18th

This week has been a little bit rocky for Sister Snow and I. We have
just been trying to get back on our feet. But miracles have happened!

For the past few weeks we have basically been stalking this lady named
"S"... She has been home and straight up ignored us, hung up on us,
pretended like she couldn't hear us, acted like she was busy, etc
etc...

Yesterday evening we drove by her house and saw her outside so we
decided to stop and say hi. She OBVIOUSLY saw us, pretended like she
didn't, and walked into her backyard.. with her massive English
Bulldog named Brooklyn. We just acted normal and went and knocked on
the door, even though we totally saw her bail on us.. Then we walked
around her yard for a little bit.. I even yelled into her backyard
"her nameeeeee" - no answer.

So, I had.. Actually the spirit put into my mind, the brilliant idea
of being a totally creep/stalker and driving away, doing a u-turn down
the road a little ways..  and rolling back to my home girl "S's"
house. It worked! She assumed we left and came back into the front of
her yard. We slammed on our breaks and got out of the car real quick
so she wouldn't escape again, and basically ran to her. Haha it was
real awkward, but we just acted completely normal.

We started talking with her and she told us kind of what was going on
in her life and some things she was struggling with. We had been
talking for about ten minutes when I had the impression to share a
Mormon Message. While sister Snow and Sharlene were chatting I whipped
out my iPad and started scrolling through the videos to see if I had
even 1 that was downloaded. I found one that had been downloaded, but
I had NO idea what it was, I'd never seen it before, and I didn't even
remember downloading it. I said a quick prayer in my head that it
wouldn't be some weird random video.. And asked her if she'd like to
watch it.

It was "Good Things to Come" by Jeffrey R. Holland.

The Spirit was SO strong. After the video ended, "S" was a little
choked up and said "I have such a weird feeling. I can't even really
describe it, but it is putting a smile on my face. What is this
feeling?"
It was so awesome to introduce somebody to the Holy Ghost, and to
testify along with Elder Holland about our Savior Jesus Christ. Who's
church this is.

I really love missionary work. It's the best thing I've ever done in my life.

The people here are amazing, sometimes difficult to contact, but really great.

The Polish Town fair in PolishTown, USA was this last weekend, so here
is some of my testimony in Polish.


Jestem wdzięczny być członkiem prawdziwego Kościoła Chrystusowego.
Uwielbiam służenia Panu i nie chciałbym być cokolwiek innego. Wiem, że
przez moje posłuszeństwo, cuda się nie stanie. Są ludzie, którzy są
przygotowani na przyjęcie Ewangelii, a ja jestem tutaj, aby zaprosić
innych do budowy są one wiarę w Jezusa Chrystusa. Kocham go. Wiem, że
on żyje, i wiem, że tylko dzięki nim możemy żyć z Ojcem Niebieskim
ponownie. Kocham was tak bardzo. Kocham moją rodzinę. Jestem wdzięczna
moim rodzicom, którzy wychowali mnie w sprawiedliwym domu. Ja również
jestem wdzięczny za mój najlepszy przyjaciel Derek Ammon Jennings,
który pomaga mi być lepszym misjonarzem, przyjacielem i człowiekiem.

Mają wielki tydzień. Kochać zawsze, siostra Samantha Tenney
