Hey Y'all!

November 9, 2015

I am here! I live with the cows and the rolling fields in the middle of nowhere, and it definitely feels like Texas! Things are different in the South. That's for sure! And I love it!!! Sure, I may not understand anything people say to me in Spanish, but the Lord will help me with that and it will come with time.

My trainers are just so nice! Hermana Woodard is from OREGON! Eugene! Isn't that crazy? And my other trainer, Hermana Renteria is from Mexico! They both speak Spanish so well, and hopfeully I will get the hang of things since I have such awesome speakers. We live in Hempstead, Texas, and our area is called "Waller". It is like the only area here where missionaries teach in Spanish AND English. So, I don't feel totally lost all the time. We have two wards we're over, Spanish and English.
 Let's see, this week, I made homemade tortillas with a recent convert, Lois, who loves Elvis more than ANYTHING. She is very sick and we came over to help her clean her house because her friend is coming to stay, and she's stuck in a chair so she can't do much on her own. We came into her house and she was just jamming out to Elvis! I love it! We found a new investigator, Tina! We got a referral from her stepmom and just showed up at her door one night and talked to her for a long while. She wants us to come back and teach her. I am sooo excited! 

I have already been to the temple 3 times, only because in my mission we give tours around the temple grounds and one of my trainers did it yesterday evening. The Houston temple is so gorgeous. I cannot state that enough. Especially lit up in the evening. I felt The Spirit so much, just walking around.

We also taught English classes this week! So cool! You know I love doing that, except this time, it's Spanish to English instead of Russian to English. I am excited for this week and everything ahead. So much of the Lord's work to do!

I just want to say how much I love you all and everyone here..My Savior is helping me every step of the way. Thank you SO much for all your prayers! This week I learned that the best way to be a missionary is to be a friend to everyone, just as the Savior was. I am so grateful for his example.

Love you always, Hermana Sheirbon
