Week 6: Vivo en Mexico‏

Written Monday, August 11, 2014 from the Mexico City CCM

Dear Family and Friends,

          This is going to be short because I have got to pack up and get ready to go to the field! Aaahhh!!! I am so excited and trying my best not to be nervous.  Last night I had to say good bye to my very dear compañera, Hermana Bills. She is going to work wonders in Pittsburgh! It was hard parting with her, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
To Seattle & Pittsburgh
          I know I have said this a lot, but I truly loved my district and I hate saying goodbye to them and all of my teachers. Our favorite teacher, Hermano Garza, brought his novia to our class one day. He normally only speaks to us in Spanish, but all of the sudden he started bearing his testimony to us in English. He told us that for him it was harder to stay strong after his mission.  He said that we always need to have goals and reasons for being faithful to the end. Then he looked at his girlfriend and said, "She is my reason." We all thought it was the cutest thing on Earth! The best part is that she had no idea what he said because she doesn't speak any English.  
          Well other than being sick with something nasty, it's been a good last week.  Let's just say I am more that ready to leave, but I know it's going to be a challenge in the field. I am stoked to be going to Seattle! 
Saying goodbye to roommates Heaps & Andes

Pray for me!
Con Amor,
Hermana Stoddard
