Hermana Medeiros Texas Houston Mission: Week 42--Day after Mother's Day

2 skypings down, 1 to go. It's so weird to think that the next time i skype will be about 1 month before i go home! that is so crazy to me! After we skyped we went home, planned, and then we moved our beds into the living room and we watched bible videos. And then we went to sleep. It was a lot of fun. It was nice to just relax and have a easy night. Yeah hermana Bohn had a good talk with her family, she liked that we did a family prayer and so she re called her family and did a prayer with them. Well for us we were both pretty sad last night after getting off the phone. it's always hard to hit the end button. But we know that it's just a small sacrifice that we make for these 18 months. And it's a long way to December but it's going to be here before we know it.

That is so fun! I'm sending him a card today so it will be there for his birthday! He's getting so big and he looks so handsome in his glasses!

how are you feeling? I'm feeling fine, I'm just done coughing, and not being able to breathe or talk. I just want it gone it's been almost 2 weeks and it's just annoying now.

Yeah the baby was due in January and I've tried emailing him to see how he is and how his family is but he hasn't responded back yet. So idk.

How do you like the Houston area? Where i am it is so pretty. I've heard not everywhere is as pretty as it is in tomball and in the woodlands, but so far i wouldn't mind living in one of these cities when I'm older. I just don't like the bugs haha. We can do touristy stuff, after the cruise when are we going back to Utah? I was just curious because with all the driving and with how much these people talk 2 days would probably be enough for 1 ward...so i think when we come before we can just do some fun stuff and then after maybe we could spend a couple more days doing some things or i could stay with some members and then fly home or something, but idk it all just depends on what the plans are and everything. Because I'm really good with what ever!

This week we are just going to work, work work, and do our best every single day! on Friday we have a ward activity that we are inviting everyone to. we are going to watch meet the Mormons. and Saturday night might be a sport night...not sure exactly. Then on Sunday we have temple tours again and it's transfer calls! So that will be a pretty busy weekend!

When is the Spanish mission conference when you get to be the star accompanist? It's may 31st i believe

This week we went on a lot of exchanges. On Tuesday night hermana Buno called us and said she felt like she needed to go on an exchange with us the next day so we did. I got to learn how to make gorditas and Mexican rice. It was so much fun! The exchange was so much fun, then Thursday morning we went on another little exchange when i was switch buno, she had to go with one of the other louetta sisters somewhere so hermana reese and i went to the library and taught English class. That was fun, then we went to panda express and then met up with my companion and hermana mcnabb. We planted about 150 trees at a members house, we found out that a lot of them have died :( so sad but w are going to help them again on Wednesday to plant some more. It was so hot but it was so much fun! We had the ward mothers day activity and a mariachi band came and it was legit. I played the piano for hermana bohn as she played her violin and i also played for mitchell as he sang. It was fun. Then on Friday we had zone conference and that was pretty great! Learned a lot and it was well needed. Then i went on an exchange to the woodlands and hung out with my sister Gayler. We had a lot of fun. Saturday we were going to help someone paint a house but they told me to go home once they found out i was sick :P Sunday we had church and spent some time at home to relax and then we taught a lesson and then we got to skype it was pretty great!

Can't believe my baby is almost done with her first transfer!! It's so crazy!!!!!!! i wonder what's going to be happening this next transfer. So far there is no Spanish speaking missionaries coming in i think.

Remember that things of the future are all based on the choices that we make on this earth at this time. always have faith and be hopeful and never give up! The lord loves you more than you can ever imagine!! one of my favorite faith stories to read is the story of peter walking on water. If we can be more like peter and have the faith to climb out of our boats and have the faith to reach out our hand if we start to sink things will be ok. God will always be there to save us and he will always lift us when we need him!
