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 forward to Monday, and I walk into class, and Erik is actually Hermano Gilman and just got back from his spanish speaking mission, and is our teacher. I was so sad xD I felt lied to, but its all good. He is a good teacher. 
I have been sick for almost a week now, and Monday night I lost my voice completely. Luckily I got a blessing from some of the Elders, and I don't feel sick anymore. I still cant talk too well lol, but I am feeling good.
My Companion Hermana Robles, is scheduled to leave for Texas this Monday (even though she was supposed to be in the 6 week program for learning spanish, her mission president said he needed her, so he requested her to come early) I guess she will really need that gift of tongues in Spanish. I dont know if they are going to give me a knew companion or put me in a trio or what...but I will let you guys know next week. 
I have definitely learned that God does answer our prayers in many mysterious ways. It is amazing though bc He does always answer. 
We sung in the choir the song titled "Joseph Smith's First Prayer" and it is about the first vision of Joseph Smith, and we don't sing or really talk a lot about Joseph Smith because, well, our church is about Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ, but the song really invited the spirit, and it makes me so happy to not only know that Heavenly Father lives, but to really feel it. 
I love you all and I will send pictures when I get back to my residence (Doing laundry right now). Have a great week!!!

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
