Change of Plans/ Answer to Prayer

Well, Last April my close friend Heidi and I saw a flier for the International Language Program to teach english! We were both really interested in going to Mexico! I am planning on minoring in ESL, so this seemed perfect, being that I am planning on taking Spanish! And it is warm there and I LOVE mexican food! But it was booked until 2010, so we didn't know what to do. We then decided to go to China! Then Heidi wasn't able to go, and my friend Whitney wanted to. I started getting nervous about China for some reason, but really felt like I was supposed to do I.L.P, so went with it. After the training I felt really nervous still! Something wasn't right. When I went to the temple, I prayed about it and asked Heavenly Father to help me feel better about going. Then I got an email saying there is openings in Mexico! I was so excited! So I prayed about it, and I am now going alone, to Mexico! It feels so right! I leave Jan 2nd to May 2nd! I will find out soon where I am going, it could be one out of three of these places!
Tehuacan, Mexico

Tehuacán is the second largest city in the Mexican state of Puebla, nestled in the Southeast Valley of Tehuacán, bordering the states of Oaxaca and Veracruz. The 2005 census reported a population of 238,229 in the city!

Cholula, Mexico

Cholula is a city in the Mexican state of Puebla. The official, though little used, full name of the city is Cholula de Rivadavia. The city of Cholula is divided into two municipalities, San Andrés Cholula and San Pedro Cholula, which are considered to be part of the conurbation of the city of Puebla.The population of Cholula de Rivadavia as of the 2005 census was 82,964 people, and the population of San Andrés Cholula was 35,206. This is also the home place of Cholula Hot sauce!Puebla, Mexico
The city of Puebla, officially Heroic Puebla de Zaragoza (nicknamed Angelópolis) is the capital and largest city of the Mexican state of Puebla. The city has a population of 1,399,519!


So I am excited about Mexico, to learn the culture, the language, the people! It will be amazing! Hopefully I will get to see a soccer game and eat great Mexican Food, and have the best experience ever! Keep you posted!
