Que en el mundo

Hello everyone!                                                                                                                                 10/11/17


First thank you to everyone who has sent me emails, I LOVE hearing from you all, but don't have much time to reply, so if I don't, please know that I love hearing from you and really, really appreciate it, and I'm sorry if I don't reply. 

So, this week, I was coming down the elevator from class to lunch, and there's this lady in the elevator with Hermana Riding, Burke, Gardels, and I. She was quiet the entire time, but when we reached the 1st floor, she tells us that we have to go around the way (this way we could still see the front door, but we'd be farther away, and could keep walking to the side door) so, we go, and slow down a little bit to see why we couldn't go to the front door, and there's this fancy man in a golf cart. We didn't recognise him, and the lady was getting mad that we were looking, so we had to go, but, I found out from the mission president on Sunday, that apparently this man, was the Prince of Ethiopia, who was touring the new buildings. So I got to see the Prince of Ethiopia. 

Speaking of the new buildings, we are the first set of missionaries using them, and they were just finished this summer. I found out that they haven't even been dedicated yet. So Friday they are being dedicated. Hermana Burke is singing in the dedication, which is cool. I have to watch it in the gym though.

      

Yesterday, D. Todd Christofferson came to give us a devotional! It's amazing that so much has happened since I've been here. People rarely get an apostle, and I've heard from 2, watched general conference here, the buildings are being dedicated, the Prince of Ethiopia has come, and Elder Hales funeral. It's been crazy, but it's amazing. But, christofferson, has such a strong spirit, it's so present when he walked in, and it just reaffirmed my love for Christ and His gospel. Sunday we did a temple walk, so we took photos as a district and a zone. I don't have the done pictures, but I'll attach the district ones. 










 Sunday was so good!! We had fast and testimony meeting still, which is my FAVORITE Sunday, bc anyone and everyone can just go up and talk about how much they love Heavenly father and Christ, and the gospel, and you can just feel the love of Heavenly Father so strongly. Like the spirit is amazing.
Each day we have exercise time, and I've been doing the eliptical, and basically have the strongest legs ever now. Basically a professional eliptical-er. 

We had taco bell on Monday for dinner, so that was awesome. 
Love and miss you all!

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
