On Tuesday we had transfer meeting and I got transferred to Staten Island, NY. I love it here! Haha, at the beginning of my mission this is the one area I did not want to serve in. But it's great! It is kind of a mixture of city&island life. We have a car and we live in an old hotel building that has been converted into apartments. Haha, it's a little weird. But the week before I got here they got rid of the bedbugs in the apartment! Wahoo! I'm praying I won't have to deal with that during my time here.
My companion's name is Sister Ashlyn Lybbert. She's such a sweetheart! She came on her mission from Colorado, but is really from Georgia. She's been out for about 8ish months I think. We get along pretty great. It's only been a week but we are doing super well and there hasn't been a day that I haven't felt the spirit testify through me.
We taught a lot of lessons this week, which is a change from the past weeks here. So that's been a miracle! We also were led to a few different people who God prepared for us to find! So amazing!
It's kind of weird how happy I am. I'm grateful to be here. I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to serve in Staten Island!
When people ask me how long I've been out, and when I'm going home, they always ask if I'm excited to go home. I am excited to hug my mom, but I'm also sad knowing my time here is short. So, I'm just making the most of it.
Love always,
Sister Samantha Tenney

Oh yeah, my new home address is:

-I wouldn't send anything but letters to that address though.
Love ya!
Oh yeah, This morning we worked out and then walked along the beach so here are a bunch of pictures. My companion was really freaked/grossed out that I picked the sea creature up. But hey, I'm at one with the ocean. :)
The other pictures are as follows:
-me and some new elder from WHS that knows Megan and the Jennings, Devon I think
- a little boy who was left outside of the deli while his mom was buying stuff. Haha I couldn't believe it
