Wednesday's, Spanish and my first week

So apparently our preparation day is on Wednesday. Its different per group at the MTC and ours is Wednesday. It has been a mixture of a really stressful week and a really great week. 
The first day was great, I met my companion, roommates, and my district.
 My companion is Hermana Robles (going to Dallas Texas), then our roommates are Hermana Timoteo and Hermana Hudrlik (Both Texas Houston East). 

Then the other set of Hermanas are Riding, Gardels, and Burke (Everest WA, Washington DC North, and Boston) then our Elders are Harrison, Hildreth, Hallman (all going to Mexico), Thomas (Boston), then Coy, and Johannsen (Both Texas Houston East). 


Everyone is super cool and were like a big family all struggling with Spanish (except Johannsen and Harrison bc they already know it). Pero mi Espanol es mejora than I thought it would be. I'm only a week in and I can already teach about Jesucristo and the restoration and pray and give my testimony and the gift of tongues is definitely real. Still frustrating. But real. 
We were able to go to a few different devotionals this week and the one last night was by Quentin L. Cook (one of the twelve apostles) and it was honestly so amazing bc as soon as he came in the room the spirit was so present and it made me happy.
This week has been just mainly studying Spanish, eating food, and reading scriptures. We've been teaching an "investigator" (he's actually a member but we have to teach him in Spanish porque Spanish) so far we've taught 4 lessons, our last lesson is tomorrow. Two of the meetings were really good, I was able to say all I wanted to (mostly) bc the spirit was there and I don't understand him all the time but it's okay bc I've only done the whole spanish thing for about a week. So I would say being able to teach and understand part time is good enough for now lol. 

I also left my toothbrush at Ivorys the first day so I had to buy one at the bookstore. The campus is beautiful but it's really cold here right now...luckily so share a room with people from California so they are also cold.
Anyway, I'm able to read emails throughout the week but only respond on Wednesday's, but I love reading them throughout the week. 
Miss/Love you all!
Adios!

This is a record of Hermana Stephanie Woerner's e-mails home while she is/was away on her mission.  The first 3 posts are about what happened at home before she left. Stephanie put in all her information, and waited months for this moment, we even skyped it with Grandma! Houston was not where she wanted to go, and she was a little bummed about going, but she knew she had been called to go where the Lord needed her to be.

Hello! So this week feels like it has been absolutely forever.  First off, I will start with Thanksgiving because I don't remember much before that haha. I went around with my comp to less actives houses, and most of them were not doing anything for Thanksgiving because well...they are from like El Salvador and do not care about America being founded or the pilgrims very much haha. But, we got to share a quick message with one family, and then the second one we ended up painting their walls. Their cousin who is 18 started to paint the walls, but we helped him finish. It was a lot of unexpected fun. We were there serving for a good 2 or 3 hours.  Then we had to do a quick change and go on to the first dinner appointment of the night with the Murillos! They are this english speaking family who is semi-less active and we accidentally knocked into them, and we have been helping them out ever since (with permission from their elders of course) but it is because Brother Murillo i

Hello Everyone!                                                                                                                                               9/27/17 Me, an other Hermana, and my companion Hermana Robles It has been a long week I feel like. It started off with me having to get a flu shot. It was not fun, but I got to miss like 10 minutes of spanish class lol.  The first week or so we were teaching this "investigator" named Erik, and he only spoke spanish and is from Mexico, and I felt really bad because I have only learned Spanish for 3 days the first time we taught him, and I think the first lesson was poor, but then, the 2nd lesson (like two days after) went sooo well, and the spirit was so strong and we were able to understand him even though he talks fast, and answer his questions that he had about the gospel, and it was so good. My spanish is poor, but luckily the Holy Ghost knows Spanish and was able to basically talk through me. Well fast f
