Livin' In The Hood--December 6th

Hola Todos!! Long time no see everyone! It has been a crazy busy week but it has been awesome! I left the CCM and after like 20 hours of travel I finally made it to good old Yakima! I got here around 1 in the morning and then 6 hours later I had my assignment, my new companion and was off to the real world. Talk about a whirlwind of a day haha. It's crazy I'm not with my mtc district anymore and I miss Hermana Smith with my whole soul but also excited for the new adventures here! 

I am currently living in the Hood, also known as Hood River, Oregon! I had quite the shock when I found out who my trainer was, because not only is she my old young women leader's niece, but she also only speaks English hahah So yes! I am currently serving in an English area being trained by an English companion. Not going to lie, I was pretty sad and scared when I figured out I wasn't speaking Spanish. I'm worried about forgetting what I've learned and never speaking Spanish but I'm trying to remember God has a plan! Luckily I have an amazing companion, Sister Carter who has been incredible and is actually so funny. Only she could make knocking doors a good time lol 

This week we have lots of plans for finding people to teach, Light the World, and lucky me gets to speak in church again! Luckily this time it is in English and I know more than 2 minutes in advance. 

Anyways, I have no time again and will make my mom send this but thanks again for your love and support and especially all the emails! I promise next week I will respond to all of them and write a better email haha Love you all so much but remember God loves you most! - Hermana Hadlock
