"Basic day as a missionary"

Yay mom! I' m so happy you have a lot of questions, because I am so happy to answer them!!

So a normal day as a missionary? Well thats funny because this week, we had that big activity on p-day so we had to shop and email on Tuesday. Then wednseday I had to do a little stuff for my visa, but there have been some normal days so i'll try and explain them!

Usually i wake up, go on a run with sister eyre, we chat.. she loves chatting so thats fun... haha then get ready and study for a couple hours!! Personal, comp, and language training! so great!  Without studies, I am nothing, i am so lost if i haven't studied in the morning (like when i had to do my visa stuff that one morning) I missed my studies! I have such a testimony of studying ! When i study personally, with my  companion and language, i know the spirit will help me with what i need to say and so in the day.. studies are so important!! 

So then we go out for the day and we walk! We dont have bikes but were getting them this week! im so excited for bikes! our area is called goyave and its a cute little jungly sort of town (so not like a touristy place) and the church is in capesterre, the neighboring city, so its a little hard to get people to church. But we fasted this week for people to be able to come to church and we had some amis (investigators) there! That was a miracle! and mostly in the day we have rendzvous/lessons with amis! and if they fall through we go contacting! for us its pretty great because were two white girls, so people will usually talk to us, but we have to be straight up... that we're here to share our message and people are pretty open and ready to listen!

FOOD! theres some great guadeloupian food but mostly we cook for ourselves and thanks to some great recipes from you and her mom we eat like QUEENS! only when weve come in for the night haha but feeding ourselves is like our  stress relief, and feeding our selves well :)

So the church is in Capesterre and the members are great! I love church.. i have such a testimony of going to church! for me personally and for my amis! Our spirits need church every week and i just have such a strong testimony of that.. the branch is super pumped about missionary work.. Theres not very many members but the members love to work with us! One sister bore her testimony about how grateful she was that the sister missionaries,(us), are there and she works with us every thursday.. I feel like i have a family here with church, its so great!

So yes we walk a lot and i just love Goyave! I can see the ocean when i walk a lot, haha and lots of times we stop at the Goyave trees to eat a Goyave and i love the weather! Its hot in the middle of the day to walk around, but i dont mind, Id rather be hot than cold! so many animals too! lizards are everywhere in peoples homes on the streets! haha and cows and chickens just roamin! life on my island in Guadeloup is good :)

But we work hard and expect miracles.. this week we have seen so many! there are so many prepared people and i just have such a testimony of this gospel!

So hopefully you got a taste of my life! Sometimes its not always perfec,t but I just work like everythings in my hands and pray like everythings in Gods hands and I see miracles!

Love you all,

Soeur Tenney
