It's been a rough adjustment to the Bayshore Ward.. Haha but I do have an awesome new companion named Sister Ewell! She's from Vernal, Utah, she is 4.11 feet tall, just graduated high school in May, and is a really awesome person and missionary!
I miss Riverhead. But I am super happy to be with an obedient companion. Hallelujah!
We live in this tiny studio apartment called "the loft". I just came from the Taj Mahal compared to this thing. Haha the head of my bed is right next to our fridge! So, it wakes me up all the time making weird noises. Our sink is like six inches long, six inches wide, and I feel like I am living in a hotel room or something.
Besides that I think I get second-hand high every time I walk outside of our apartment because it smells like weed so badly.
Yet every night I lay my head down, I am so grateful for the things Heavenly Father has blessed me with. Seriously, we go into homes and I just think "how do people live like this???" I've become aware of how truly blessed I am. My eyes are definitely opened when I see people, children, sleeping on cold floors. Families with no presents? No, try families with no food to give to their children.
It's a humbling experience to go into the homes of others.
Anyway, I don't really have a lot to say except for that I really am grateful to my Heavenly Father for my really comfortable life, my amazing family, and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I hope you all have a very merry Christmas and remember what it is all about.
Much love,
Sister Tenney
