Howdy From Texas!

Hey!                                                                                                                                                             10/30/17

Sorry everyone, I know it has definitely been a hot minute. My last P-day was almost 2 weeks ago because I spent last Wednesday traveling to Houston! So that being said, I am safe here, and done with my time at the MTC. It was an interesting time, and I took a load of pictures. It was strange, because most people left on Monday, then the majority of the people left left on Tuesday, then finally, it was me and Hermana Gardels on Wednesday. It was cool though because I got to go to a class who had just arrived to the MTC. It was a nice experience. We also got to go around and look up all the stories to the murals in our building. It was a good time. Nevertheless, I woke up at 2:30 the next morning and headed on over to Texas. I landed, and they let us all take a nap in the Mission building, in the church pews. It was weird. Also the building was really cold. Then, we went over rules, they took our tablets for 8 weeks (which just so happens to land on Christmas), and then they brought us over to the Mission Home, where we had chicken chili for dinner, and the Mission President interviewed each of us. 
The mission president has a cat, so when people say they were sent to their mission for the people, or for their president, I am pretty sure I am here for his cat. 






Then, Thursday I was placed with my trainer, who is Hermana Masters. She and I live together in a one bedroom apartment in Woodlands, Texas. We are in the Woodlands 3rd ward. I have successfully kind of talked to the members that I have met. Which is a lot. Not only from church, but even Thursday night, we have had some sort of dinner appointment everyday. I can undestand why people gain a lot of weight here. I have had 4 dinner appointments, and 2 unplanned dinner appointments (where we run into people and they just want to feed us then and there.).

I have eaten so many beans and tortillas haha, it is crazy. But I have successfully moved in, and all is well. I wont be able to send too many pictures because of my tablet not being with me, but I wish you all the best, and I am sorry if I dont respond individually, I only get 90 minutes to email, but I am splitting my time up and will send more things later. :)
Love and miss y'all

I hope they call me on a Mission

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
