This week has been full of Christmas miracles!
Christmas was fun and everything to see my family, but it was good to get back to work right away! I ate Christmas dinner at a soup kitchen after we served and sang with a ton of homeless people. Yum.. Haha.
But we met a girl there who was randomly volunteering, we started to talk with her and turns out she was baptized in Peru when she was eight! She is so cute and nice and pure in heart! And she came to church on Sunday!! Miracle.
Christmas night I was still pretty distracted from talking with my family so I asked Heavenly Father for an opportunity to forget myself...
Good idea Sammy... Haha
The next morning in the middle of studies we got a text asking us to come help with a service opportunity. We spent five hours helping a family in our ward clean out one room! Because they struggle with hoarding, the state is threatening to take their children away. Yeah! Crazy! Everyone was struggling to be nice about it, but I thought it was the best thing ever! Plus I love to throw stuff away. I even gave all five of their kids trash bags and told them to go into their rooms and come back out when they were full. Everyone was laughing because I was making it like game for them.
Last night we taught two Spanish ladies! They committed to be baptized on the 17th of January! Woo! They even both came to church yesterday, so I am stoked about that. I seriously was a nervous wreck teaching in Spanish without my Mexican companion to help translate for me. It was so hard!
Well, I don't have much to say except for I am having a lot of fun with Sister Ewell! She is "boom boom".
Love you all,
Sister Tenney
