Oi Familia!
I entered the MTC 2 months ago today. I can't believe
that! It seems like that was a long time ago. This week has been kinda crazy for
me. I was transferred to Highland on Monday night. So far I like the area and
the people. Sister Halbison and I are teaching a lesbian couple. It's kinda..
interesting haha. One of them is getting baptized this coming month! I'm hoping
it works out. I'm serving in 6 wards now. Which is a lot compared to my last
area where I was serving in 2 wards. I still miss some of the members down in
Chubbuck.
Having dinner with the Bangerters was AWESOME! :) Tracy
and Bart were so excited to see me. Tracy gave me a huge hug and one for you
too. They still look the same but a little bit older. Their house is really
nice. They live in a really nice neighborhood in Highland. It's kinda close to
the mission home. I found out that I'm speaking in church this Sunday in their
ward. I only have to speak for about 10 minutes. I might speak about the
Atonement or about having Faith in Jesus Christ.
I did go to the missionary broadcast last night. I liked
Russell M, Nelson's talk and Tom L. Perry's talk. I took a lot of notes! I have
learned to be a good note taker since I left the MTC. Every time I go to a
meeting or a devotional, I always have my journal with me. Since I have been in
Idaho, I have had some interesting dinners. Last night, I went to a member's
house where we had "taco in a bag". It's where you take your favorite type of
chips and add beans, sour cream, beef, lettuce and cheese. And it's all in the
bag. You mix it up and it's called "taco in a bag". I had it with Doritos and it
was good! You should try it. It's really easy and cheap!
For p-day, Sister Halbison and I have a lot to do! I'm
getting my hair cut after we are done emailing. Then, we are going to Jamba
Juice (YES!), Winco and off to zone activity! I love going to zone activity,
because I can wear pants! I miss being able to wear jeans and sweat pants. :) Oh
tell Gramma McAndrew that I said Happy Birthday and that I miss her.
I have not heard about my visa. President Brinkerhoff
said that it will come within the 6 weeks that I'm here. I'm just going to see
if it comes when the transfer is over. I'm hoping that it does come! I really
want to be in Brazil now. I hate how I'm starting to forget some phrases in
Portuguese. I'm still working hard at trying to keep up with it.
I heard that you are going to NYC in August! Lucky
ducks! :P That should be fun though. What are your plans for the summer? That's
funny that Zach Dearing made that comment about me. It's true though, I am a
mini Becky! :) The picture of all of the sisters, Brother Cannon and I is my
favorite. Everyone looks great!Well, I love seeing what you have to say in my
letters. It's fun to know what everyone is doing these days. Sometimes I forget
that people have lives outside the mission haha. Well I hope you have a fun
week! Eu amo voce!
Love, Sister Whitnah
