My name is Tena. I’m the wife of a wonderful, precious man, and have been for 26 years.
I’m the mother of two awesome, loving boys, ages 23 and 18.
I attend the Pentecostal Church in Hollister, Ca., where the best Pastor and wife, in the world, are at (Nathan and Ronda Hurst).
I’m a resident of Gilroy, Ca., and I love living here. Hills surrounding. Forty minutes from the Monterey Coast. Sixty minutes from San Francisco. Perfect weather with beautiful seasons.
I love the One and Only God, Jesus Christ, more than anything or anyone. And, I love people.

Hi Tena! I stumbled on this as I was looking up info. on the bottle trees here in Columbia. I pass by your parents’ house quite often. (I recognized it from the picture.) I never knew who lived there. Someone from out of town had asked me about the local bottle trees and I was looking up some sites for them and found your blog. The history behind the bottle trees is quite interesting, isn’t it?! Well, I just thought I’d say hi to a fellow Christian! My husband and I also have been to Maui and the Big Island, I see you guys like it there too!

Wow, Angela, what a small world due to the world wide web! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting here. Maybe you could keep an eye on my parents for me.
No, they’re doing fine, but it’s nice to know that a nice Christian person like you knows where they live. And, you kind of know them, by this blog. Stop by sometime and introduce yourself, if you’d like. They are very friendly – like most people in that town. 
Keep in touch! God bless you and your family!

Thanks for the reply! I also know quite a few of your parents’ church members too. I’m sure your Mom and Dad know Wendy and Joe. Wendy and I go way back. And yes, the web really does make it a small world! Talk to you later!

Hey, maybe this is the Angela that cleans houses. If so, she bought Jennifer’s trundle beds. Wish I had her E-mail. I could use some help cleaning my house since I’ve gotten so old – ha!
You never know, remember, it’s a small, small world.
I emailed you her email address, Mom.

Sis. Tena…i finally found your blog. haha. umm, I just wanted to thank you for all of your prayers and love and support for me. You and your family have been a blessing far more than i could ever explain here, and I love you all dearly. i know I haven’t been the greatest dude lately, but I’m glad you still believe in me. it feels good to know that no matter what, no matter how dark the world is…there is still someone who cares. So keep me in your prayers, ’cause i need them.
~Love always…Matt
Matt, you mean a lot to our family and we will ALWAYS believe in you. And we will ALWAYS care about you. Keep your eyes on Jesus and you will make it! We will love you and pray for you forever.

Hi Tena!
You do not know me, but I certainly had heard your mom talk about you many times. I knew your mother when we were both with HOL. We traveled together many times. Anyway, she just sent me a Christmas card here in France, where we live and I would love to reconnect with her by email. Can you please either give me her email address or ask her to email me? We are moving to Kansas City this year and I would love to tell her all about it. We are purchasing a lovely Bed and Breakfast. http://www.crescentlake.com
Thanks for helping me get in touch with her!
God Bless!

Just had to take the time to say “hello” to another Tena. This is only the second time in my life that I have ever seen anyone spell their name the same as mine, and for it to be a Holy Ghost filled lady makes it even more special.
God Bless.
