I am GOLDEN

Solo Español for dos semanas!  And then its off to el campo!  Estoy muy emocionada sobre Virginia! Being at the MTC for 6 weeks has about reached my limits though haha!  I am ready to be gone, but I am very appreciative of all the support and love I have from you all!  I have a really wonderful companion and I am really close to my district.  I have learned so much here!  Its really wonderful to be able to teach volunteer people. They speak Spanish really fast.  It's so cool to be able to know what they are saying and find a way to answer! The church is true!!!! 

 



Look who I found!! its Elder Isaacs! he came up to me and said Hermana Stacey?  You work for Clark Andersen right?  He is my uncle!!! and I was excited I almost hugged him...but I didn't, don't worry haha!

 

I have a problem of getting super attached to the Latinos here!  They are all so funny and nice! (and have a real thing for my hair! seriously I have never had so many people touch my hair and talk about it. One elder we were sitting by reached over and touched my hair and his companion said Elder you cant touch her! in espanol hahaa super funny!)  The sad thing is they leave every 2 weeks, but we get a new batch once they go so its ok! 

 

I was able to sing in the choir that sang the EFY medley in Spanish for Elder Oaks last week!  Super cool experience!  He is so amazing!  He shook my hand and said "Hermana Stacey, thank you for your service!" and his wife hugged me! I felt golden.

There was one elder who just got a ticket to go home because he had to fix some stuff before being a missionary and sister Oaks, not knowing who he was, said to him when he went up to shake their hands, "Elder Clements, I have a prompting to tell you that you will be an amazing missionary."  Holy cow, how awesome is that?!  Its just what he needed to come back out!

 

I love you all so much!
