Hello!                                                                                                                                                            11/06/17
How have you guys been? How was your Halloween? I hope you guys were able to do awesome things throughout the week!

This week was pretty good. We got fed SO MUCH. We again had a food appointment everyday. Even on days we did not have one planned. This week I had Mexican hamburgers (which, were magic might I add), cheese enchiladas, chicken tacos, chicken taco kit thing, rice, beans, sopas, regular chicken and yeah...It was super great. I am sure I had more, but they all mix together. I learned how to make the sopas. And, have an idea how to make the hamburgers. 

Yesterday we had a broadcast from some general authorities, that was apparently for the south west. I understood minimal of it, but it is fine lol. We have set a baptismal date for this woman named Ana! She is so sweet, but she has to get married first. She has like 5 kids, and her fiance, and they all live together in the same house. Then, we had 4 baptisms last night, and we met a new investigator Nancy, who is SO READY to hear the gospel. She has said that she read her bible a lot  and she just wants to do what God wants her to, in His way, and she said she noticed that every time the mormons she knew walked into a room, and the same with us, we just all made it all feel super peaceful, and as if we just carried an aura of love about us, and she felt like it was the spirit of God, so she wanted to learn more. She is pumped to read the Book of Mormon, and she said she will pray to know if it is true, and yeah. She's awesome. She fed us chicken, brown rice, and green beans yesterday. I missed healthy food. It was great. 
What was even better is that the day before we had literally every single hour filled with appointments and each person cancelled over and over again. But then, we met Nancy and it was like our own little miracle.
It is just so great. I love seeing people's lives become happier thanks to the gospel. Even though their problems do not change, they do. The gospel is not here to condemn everyone, or change your situation, but to help lift everyone up, and to change them instead. It allows us to match our circumstance. Even when we fail a lot, it helps us remain positive. I just love that. I love when I am put in hard situations because it forces me to rely on Heavenly Father, and Christ's atonement to get through, because I KNOW I do not have the power to do so. There are so many miracles in our lives that we pass off as "Luck" or "happy circumstance" or even as just "Everyday life" but I assure you all that miracle happen, and they are all from our Father above, who loves us so much. So much that He wants us to have our families for eternity, and that He wants to give us every opportunity for success, either in this life or the life to come. 
So also, I am on a Facebook Mission, and this week I was required to make a facebook. I cannot add people first, but I can add you guys back if you add me. So, if you want to add me it is just under Stephanie Woerner. No Sister or anything.
OH So, every tuesday we volunteer at a place called Special Angels, and it is a day care type of place for adults with special needs, and I LOVE it! last week was a halloween fall festival thing, and it was awesome. There is one guy who does not speak. but just goes around giving hugs, and Ill attach a picture later! 
Anyway, much love

 Pictures of me next to a flooded house sign, and behind you can kinda see some of the damage from the flood still. There was a sign in one neighborhood that got hit so badly that told people that if they were there to take pictures, just to leave. It was sad. The area still looked pretty rough.

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
