Wow. Its just amazing how much i CONTINUE to learn on my mission! Every day every week! It's insane! I think the biggest thing I've learned is following the Spirit. Man literally I have spiritual experiences everyday and it's hard to decide what I should talk about!!
So this week i was praying and pondering before going to bed right.? and even though Im training (ya right shes so awesome) im still just trying to push myself and keep myself growing, while at the same time really helping out Soeur Winter get missionary work and french.. its very busy! but i like it :) so i was just trying to think how i could be better and i knew the next day for comp study, we had to study- teaching people the lesson, so i had the idea to let soeur winter teach ME! ( shes a master at that) so obviously that idea came from the spirit and in comp study she taught me,so I was DONE! who cares about the lesson plans anymore lets just teach poeple! so we go to the guy Monazah's house and he mostly speaks creole, and we didnt have a member so i knew it was gonna be rough, but i was just really trying to teach them, and it was so awesome! He was so awesome! He was just so humble and he say's 'ya i have a quesion, so whats the book of mormon' and so we were able to teach him and help him understand and he accepted it! He has a scooter so he comes to church but his family of I think 5 all really want to go too, and theyre all girls and so cute! (one boy!) Anyways so at the end, we said a kneeling praying in their humble little home, and i just couldnt hold it together. We said 'thank you for letting us come over' and Monazah in his broken french was just like 'no thank you! church is so important for us' and they just have nothing! man it really just broke me! he was talking about how its hard but he knows that this is important. I dont know if you even got that story but i was just really humbled! all the girls just feel the spirit so well and just cant wait to study with us! i really just felt like what the heck am i doing here! but theyre awesome :) so humble and will all be in the temple one day :) monazah is s cool!!!! haha
ok so that was a random story funny story. so saturday i became blues clues and just wooped out my handy dandy notebook to do some GETTIING PEOPLE TO CHURCH! all our investigators (not many came;. thats ok! we'll do better next week!) haha but I to start wierd random traditions with soeur winter. she thinks im funny! haha but we always pray for no rain on sunday because all our peeps have scooters and then they cant come to church if it rains!! haha
so sunday roles around and not many people went? but it was fast and testimony meeting and these people i tell you are so faithful! all of us members of the church are so extremely faithful! this work this church is all built on faith! i love it! recent convert Leno talked about paying tithing and how its helping him prosper and its like every story ive heard in every chruch manual but just coming from leno was just so cool! were teaching his daughter :) she was there and she has a hearing problem. I love he,r and friday we had just taught her about the dime. tithing sorry. I love her!
so im still full of ideas and being led by the spirit! and this week i go to suriname and will get even more ideas from the lord!! yippee!!!!! this work is so fun! soeur winter is such a good hard worker!
love you all soeur tenney
