Family!
So much to talk about where to begin...
first of all, we busted out our Full on winter coats and boots this
week. basically Im officially a marshmollow at all times. But I cant
complain cuz this marshmallow seriously keeps me warm HAHA russia Im
not scared of your so called nasty winters. Imma beat you. Nope, we
still havent had any snow yet, which is crazy becasue Moscow already
has. Im oddly excited for the snow, i've heard it can get nuts! And
the light here is getting kinda cool, basically the sun finally comes
out at about 11 and then goes back down around 4 or 5. Isnt that
crazy? The weirdest partis that Im hardly even effected by it like I
thought I would. Weird right? In about 5 weeks it'll start getting
lighter anyways.... so russia take that! You have nothing that has yet
to scare me :)
Alright so people have been asking what my week is typically like. A
Basic day is wake upat 6:30, bundle up and go outside to work out (aka
Sister Tenneys personal time to shoot hoops and be a baller). We have
a court nearby so I just shoot hoops its sweet. Afterwards we go home
and shower and get ready. At 8 we start personal study (prob the best
part of the day) then 9 is companion study where we plan our day and
our lessons for the day. At 10 we continue comp study with the
training program im in (cuz Im still considered a greenie). 11 is lang
study, which gets funner and funner everyday as Im finally starting to
better understand this russian language (again russia take that! Your
language isnt so hard after all). By noon we usually are heading out
to an appt of some sort. We walk out to the metro wich is about 15
min away, or we hop on a bus. It takes about 45 min to an hour to get
anywhere we want to go usually (which is such a shame!) but we usually
contact and talk to people on buses. This is my fav kind of contacting
:) Then we meet with people and teach. Sometimes we go back home for
dinner but usually we're running around trying to meet with people so
we often get food on the street (like a banana and a yogart and
crackers or something) and then get to our next meeting. Then we try
to be home by 9 for planning and then we plan til 10 and then go to
bed by 10:30! Its like a rat race everyday trying to meet with our
investigators, meet with members who can help us find more
investigators, or the best is to meet with investigators at a members
house. Yea..... so thats basically the day in the life of ME :)
The food here is good. Lots of soups, lots of cabbage made into things
I never had before. I dont really know what to say about the food.
pretty typical. The yogart here ROCKS I love it.
Oh before I forget, HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE! I love you all and I
know you are praying for me. I've felt it and I need it, and I thank
you for it. I know you will, but remember to look for the blessings in
you life. Last night we met with a lady who is inactive who just sat and
complained to us the entire night about how God doesn't answer her
prayers and doesn't bless her. As she complained I looked around and
saw her clothes, her food, her warm house, her book of mormon..... the
list goes on. We often don't realize the blessing we have until we LOOK
for them. God loves us, and He blesses us. We just forget to see them.
So let's look for our blessings this week aight? I love you all!
Love sis T
