Hermana Medeiros Texas Houston Mission: Week 27

How was missionary life this past week? It's been good, just been working hard trying to help all the people in oak crest crecer en su fe :) grow in their faith. y a veces esta frusterando cuando las personas no hacer las cosas que les queremos a hacer pero necesito confiar en dios y saber que todo va a pasar en el tiemp de dios. estoy aprendiendo mucho espanol y hablar espanol mucho. :) on Wednesday we had interviews with president and we had a training. It was all really good. My interview with him was great! He told me things that I need to do and I got told that I'm here in oakcrest to help find people :) that made me feel good. Hermana Carbajal said that he told her that he is really proud of me and thinks I'm doing a good job :) yay!!! on Thursday we had a training with all the missionaries who are speaking Spanish and that was pretty good. We now can only eat with the members in our area...that will be fun to explain to a ward who doesn't know where our boundaries are haha but we will find a way. This last week we went to visit this old man who is in our ward and he is considered less active because he doesn't come to church only because his wife is in a coma and he stays at home with her and he is the sweetest man. He talks about his wife and how he can't wait till Resurrection day and he can hold her hand again :) he cried so many times when talking about his wife. I am so glad that I can play the piano because he asked me to play a song out of a hymn book for him and it was one that I had never heard before but he loved it! He has a saying that he says for his wife 'I love you more than yesterday but less than tomorrow" he has such a strong testimony and he really would be at church but he stays with his wife all the time. It was really sad seeing her but so glad that we have a knowledge of what happens after this life. Nothing really exciting happened this week. A lot of good things but nothing very very exciting :) it's just so nice when you see god's hand in your every day work.

Every time after we eat we die. We literally get so tired. We've had times after meals where we just sit in the car and wait for a little bit. I also just feel tired a lot and I don't know if my pills are a factor in it or if it's just the mission that is making me tired. But sometimes I'm literally dead by 5. it's really bad sometimes but once we actually have something that doesn't fall through and we do it then I'm fine but lessons sometimes are hard if we are just sitting there. But it's probably just something of the mission and I'm just going to keep getting more tired the longer I am out here haha great ;) but anyways this week was really really good! I can't believe it's the last week of January! The first month of this year is gone!!! that is so crazy to me!

Sorry haha I don't have much exciting things to write about this week but things are going really good!!!

I keep forgetting to ask you, but did you ever find/buy rain boots? no I never found any that I liked but now it's not really raining and a member found out that we were almost the same size and so she gave me an old pair of boots that she has. It's starting to warm up and be sunny and not rain as much so I don't' think i'll need to buy them anymore for a while hopefully

Best moment of the week? hmmm...theres been so many! the fact I got told that Hugo went to church, we found new people to teach this week, we had interviews and training, we got to have a birthday party with a family for their son. this week was just really good.

Are you teaching many people? yeah we have quite a few families and we found 4 new people to start teaching!

Do you play the piano in your new ward? no they have someone that plays in sacrament meeting and then in relief society they have an electric piano that has the hymns preset and so they just use that.

What would you like us to pray for? that we can get our investigators to progress! we have plenty of investigators but all of them are stuck, and we are trying to work with them to help them keep their commitments.

These two little kids are so cute! they are kids of member :) the hermana told us that he never played with any of the other missionaries but as soon as I come over he is pulling out his boxes of toys and playing with me and putting them on my lap :) Both of them are 2...it's hard to believe that the boy is 2!
