Hermana Medeiros Texas Houston Mission: Week 52--1 Como estan??

Hey Y'all!!! It's so funny I've been wanting to say Ya'll a lot more often now! So don't get mad if once i get home i constantly saw Y'all! Or switch into Spanish words!! Haha there are some words that i literally can't say in English anymore.

Thank you so much for the packages! I was so sad i didn't get the one with the decorations till this morning but we are going to decorate this week for our 9 month and year mark! Thank you to all those who sent emails and/or cards! i love you all and miss you all!!

Sunday was good, it stunk because i had a headache all day and i couldn't find any ibprophen or anything. It would go away and then come back and then go away. i got really frustrated. But anyways church was pretty good. One of the speakers cancelled and so the obispo asked me to read a talk in sacrament meeting so i did and apparently i talked really fast haha. When i finished it he sounded like he was laughing when he whispered thank you that was awesome. Later it clicked. He had thought the talk would take 10-15 minutes. We aren't sure how long i took but maybe 8 or 9 minutes. Haha It was super awkward because i was looking down the whole time, when i tried to look up i lost my spot. But i'm not counting it as me giving a talk, so far i haven't given a talk in church on my mission!

no one came to church on Sunday. We had an investigator who promised us she was coming. She has a baptismal date for August 8th but she didn't come and she hasn't been answering our phone calls :P ugh. WE had a less active come to church and she's trying to come back! So that's pretty awesome! After church we ran home and i broke my fast (we fast every Sunday) because i had a headache so i drank some water and ate a granola bar hoping that it would help. And then we went to visit a couple people that we had contacted into. We were able to cross off some people because they aren't interested. WE went to go visit another man that we met the other day and his wife came out and we were going to show the el vive (because he lives) video and she brought her two girls out and we made another appointment with them for Tuesday. They seem super cool. They speak English. It's different being in this area because if we contact people who speak English we can still teach them instead of giving them to the English missionaries. We've been doing a lot of dropping and contacting lately. I'm trying not to worry about it, i just know that God has a plan and sometimes people just aren't ready but we needed to plant the seed in their heart. So right now we are working on finding new people. anyways back to Sunday we then went to dinner at a members house and they made really good food and made me cupcakes :) got 2 cupcakes smashed in my face, we then went over to an English members house because i share a birthday with her and she had some friends over, she gave me a panda bear necklace. We had cupcakes and ice cream. The hermanos mom bought me blue berries (because she thought that i would think that chocolate bars were unhealthy :P) haha (but i like blue berries and they will make good smoothies so yay!) and a balloon. It was so sweet of her. We then contacted a few more people before we headed home.

Last night was rough. i went to bed at like 1015 because i was so tired, woke up at 1 with a head ache fell back asleep, woke up at 330 with a headache then at 350 my companion woke up thank goodness and i asked if she had any ibprophen or anything and she found some and then i went and took a hot shower until 445 and then got back into bed around 5, so i'm just a little tired today haha.

Nothing too exciting happened this week. Went on an exchange on Tuesday and that was pretty fun. Non of our plans happened but we still had lessons and saw people. Got in with some less actives and an investigator who we haven't seen for a while. On Thursday we had district meeting and we had interviews. It was fun, we made a cake and i got some of it smashed in my face. It was really funny. We went and visited Our investigator with a baptismal date and we had a good lesson with her. We then had dinner at a members and it was super super good tacos. Then we had English class and we taught a 10 minute restoration. We brought in book of Mormons and pamphlets. we left them at the front and just said that after class anyone who wanted one could take one. we left it at that so no one felt uncomfortable or pressured and people ended up taking them!! we were so happy! Friday we weekly planned for 4 hours. and our brains were fried. We got the box with the food from amazon and i took all the food out and sat in the box and then it bent a little bit and i guess i said "oh no! que paso!? in a really funny way and we died laughing for about 10 minutes. I went to the bathroom and i heard my comp still laughing. It was hilarious. Most of our appointments cancelled this week but it's ok! Because we did our best!

interviews went really well. I was able to speak to president about some things that our bishop has said that i haven't agreed with and he told me i need to speak up more because things he said are not right. He told me to laugh more and to be nicer to myself. He tells me i spend time driving myself crazy worrying about some many little things and i need to stop. He was super loving. I really love my president. He is amazing.

This week was pretty good hopefully we will have an even better week this week! sorry i don't have much to report but next week i'll have more!! I love y'all!! Stay awesome and safe!!!
