So yes it is true, I am training, and her name is Soeur winter! like frozen! I just think of frozen when i think of her name!! ah!! so monday and tuesday consisted of parties (soiree familials/fhes) for soeur vance and all the departing missionaries and then wednesday i had a temp who was a recent convert of about 1 month!!! that was awesome! I just really tried to help her feel the spirit and have a good time on the mini-mission. She loved it, her life has completely changed since her baptism. that was soeur Aimee. I LOVE HER SO MUCH!! so that was awesome! and then thursday in come SOEUR WINTER!!! ahhh she gets in and its always awkward the first second like 'woah wheres soeur vance' but then we go get food and then we come home and eat and study and right away we just go to work! SHE wanted to do that! I didnt even have to make it happen! We started planning and talking about our amis and of course fernando calls so we say 'lets go teach him!!' so then we teach him! and also taught this recent convert family's daughter that just moved to our area. THAT was a wonderful thing, i think it was a great first day for her :)
Then the next day was just as awesome! We took soeur aimee with us and went and taught ASHLEY, a members daughter! shes 12 and my best friend! Her and I walked arm and arm into church on sunday, a very precious moment in my life :) and then we taught VIRGILE! she is such a miracle! that lesson was so awesome. The Lord really qualifies us. Virgile loves to talk and she says really really inpsired thing like 'i know that you didnt knock on my door for nothing' and its amazing! so the spirit was so strong and soeur winter felt that and invited her to be baptized in 4 weeks and she said yes!! and the next day she told us she knows that she would have to move out and change her life to keep Gods commandments. she is so prepared!!!!!!!!!!!!!! man but soeur winter just knows how to follow the spirit! she is such a natural leader and is not scared of anything!! Her and I started a 40 day fast together, getting rid of all the things that would not let the Spirit help us be effective tools in the Lords hands. We're both getting rid of our doubts and fears. AHHHH TRAINING IS AWESOME!! soeur winter is just so good at following the spirit and being obedient and also listening to me :) we both decided we couldnt have had a better start or end to our missions its literally amazing! i know how mindful the Lord is of me in sending me Soeur Winter. hhahahaa its hilarious because it wasnt until last night that we really started getting to know each other. but even though before that we were already best friends just talking about the gospel and our investigators and missionary work together. we are both such missionary work geeks!!! hahaha its so fun! literally. i cant think of a better way to end my mission! or for her to start! haha best of both worlds!!
so its fun. because i still get so excited about missionary work and shes so fresh so its all new and exciting for her. I just told her lets just pretend like were opening up the area together but we have a little head start because we have SO MANY COOL INVESTIGATORS; but were starting over today. like for example this guy richard that we taught 3 or 4 weeks ago just shows up at church and we've been praying for people with cars in that area! oh ya! this work is the best it all works on faith! soeur winter and I got a lot of it!
so I'm happy! and so capable! the Lord has so much success in store for us i know it! soirre familiale with fernando and his whole family tonight! yahuh!!!! so stoked!
this work is so important and true
Love,
soeur tenney
