 So today marks my half way point at the MTC, and idk if it's been the longest 3 weeks of my life or the quickest. It was general conference weekend, which for those who don't know, is a broadcast that happens semiannually, where the apostles and prophet speaks. Unfortunately one of our apostles passed away between sessions and our prophet wasn't too healthy either so he had to stay home. But the talks were AMAZING. I highly recommend all of them. Especially Elder Nelsons and Elder Rasbands. (They're on both YouTube and LDS.org). It was super awesome, because we were in a gym watching it with all the full time missionaries and we got to sit as a district each session (4 sessions, each 2 hours) and the missionaries got in trouble as a whole bc when they announced that Elder Holland was going to speak everyone cheered xD it was awesome. His talk was AMAZING as well. We also had a devotional Sunday night by John Munoa who is the executive producer of the life of Jesus Christ bible videos, and that was super rad.  (Pretty sure you can see them at bible videos. Org? )
Hermana Robles is officially gone to Dallas, and they have reassigned me to be with Hermana Riding. Everything is going well her and I work together well and yeah, all is grand. Other than that, my 'investigator' Anna is getting baptised on November 1st (pretty sure she's already a member) but I've taught her all in Spanish and she speaks really fast Spanish so I'm proud of myself haha. I no longer need notes to talk to her, I can just go with the spirit, and what I feel like I should say. I learned this week how to say all the names in the bible and book of mormon in Spanish, and so that's cool. My teacher told me that my Espanol was really good for o my having studied it for 3 weeks, so yay! 
SO yeah, it's been a rather chill week. More Spanish, I sat all day Saturday and all day Sunday, got a new companion Monday, taught Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday we also had a devotional from Bonnie Oscarson, and yeah. 
Love hearing from you all! 
Love and miss you!

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
