Sister Tenney in New York!: There she goes.. There she goes again..7/20/15

Um Hi,

This week was good so I'll just jump right into it.

On Tuesday I spent the day in Jamaica because Sister Snow went to the temple for her departing temple trip. She saw Daniel Steiner there, he came out of the temple and asked all of the missionaries if they new me.. Haha funny! It is crazy how close we are in distance but it is a completely different world in separate missions. Anyway, it wasn't a very eventful day in Jamaica, the sisters cleaned their apartment, I could've been more Christlike and helped out.. But I have my own apartment to clean so I took a nap.. Haha. Then we had to go to their district meeting and on the way there we got caught in this crazy down pour/flash flood. I curled my hair that morning, so I had to borrow a plastic grocery sac from an elder and I just put it on my head and ran so fast to the church. Hahaha, people in Jamaica are even crazier than that, so they didn't even notice.. But Sister Lobo and Cox were dying laughing. They're both like 4.9 ft tall and were pretty far behind me. But we all made it safely inside.

On Wednesday we had to travel to Rego Park again for Sister Snow's Departing Interview with President Reynolds. She told me all about it, which was kind of fun for me. Haha I think it's funny to hear the advice President gives departing missionaries. Basically stay faithful, get and education, and get married. I plan on doing all of those things, so I think I'm on the right track.

On Thursday we got to go to the temple with Sister La Rosa! It was great because 1. We got to get a ride in her car. 2. The Spirit is there. And 3. She fed us afterward. It really was one of the best sessions I've been to in the temple. I was so excited to see her in the celestial room. She's worked really hard to get to this point in her life and I've loved being a part of it.

Something else that was crazy is that I was just sitting in the chapel, and Daniel Steiner walked in! Haha. I was so excited to see him. He was there for his departing temple trip, and it just happened to be the same session we were going through. I was happy he recognized me because that means I haven't gotten drastically uglier since two years ago.. Haha even with brown hair. He definitely looks a little older. I told him to tell you all hi. He wanted me to wait outside after so we could take a picture, but they were taking too long and we had to leave.

I was happy to see a familiar face, so it's going to be even better when I see all of you!

On Friday I wanted to kill the Spanish Sisters. Haha.... Just kidding, but not really..

They called us the day before and asked us if we would help them with a service project in a potential investigator's front yard. So, we made time and said we would. We got there and they were wearing service clothes- but they weren't wearing full length pants.. They decided to leave us and go home and change and come back. Haha, so Sister Snow and I just went to work on this front lawn and basically mowed down all the weeds and stuff. They got back and we had done all the work- meanwhile this "potential" was just inside the whole time and then went to the store.. I am grateful to do service for people, I love helping out when I can.. But I hate wasting time. Haha we basically did what they could've done.. Then had to leave so we could make it to our next appointment. And they sat and ate pizza with some elders that showed up as we were finishing. -_- sorry, that was a long rant about something dumb. Service is good! Everyone serve your neighbor. But don't delegate it to others.

Sunday Funday! Sister Snow's last Sunday in Richmond Hill and she gave an awesome talk on enduring to the end. I loved it, and I love her.. So you should all hit her up on Wednesday when she comes to Utah. Her homecoming is this Sunday and she is excited to meet all of my people. I have no idea who my new companion will be, but I'm sure they'll be great. I'll get her tomorrow, and I'll make sure to send you a picture next week. I hope she's hygienic.

Transfers. Welllp, I'm leading out this promised land once again. Haha, I guess I haven't learned what I'm supposed to learn in the past six months, so God is giving me another six weeks. But to be honest with you, it doesn't matter much to me where I'm serving.. So I'm just grateful and happy I don't have to pack my stuff up.
