Letter home, Feb 24th 2014

 

 

Dear Family,

 

Awww, the lamb is soooo cute!! It's red!!! Wow that is the funnest thing ever (: Spring is coming, so all the cute baby animals are too... what a sweetheart. That's so sad the one died. But the other one lived! Have you guys named it yet?

I haven't got the Valentines day package yet, but should this Wednesday!! It's probably just sitting at the mission home haha. But transferes are this Wednesday, so they'll pick them up then (: Sis R. and I are staying companions, and staying in Maricopa!! Woot woot!! I am SO happy. I was feeling so sad about maybe leaving, because of all these miracles that are starting to happen... R, T, and some other people we're starting to pick up. So I'm so happy we're both staying :) I'm so excited to see what this transfer brings! Sis A told me about that website! And I met another lady in our stake who said she talked with you haha, did you get her picture too? That was so fun! :) Yeah, that was E and H! They got baptized on Sunday!!!! best day ever. But I'll write more about that later :)

 

That is sooo crazy Isaac is a boyfriend... dinosaur boy haha. Weirdo. ;)

The floor looks so good!! I LOVE it. And yeah, I saw Dexter's tattoo on facebook haha. That's way cool he designed it himself. I was really surprised,  but he's so awesome. He's such a good man!  I love the story he shared with it. He's definitely been through alot... I'm proud of him. He's an awesome brother. :)

 

Well, my week has been fantastic! It's been such a good week! I can hardly remember the beginning of it, but I'll try haha. T, our one investigator dropped us... so that was depressing. But hopefully we planted some really good seeds for the future.

This weekend was awesome!! Yesterday was one of the most stressful, but also one of the greatest days  yet. It was our first baptism, E and H finally got baptized! They were sooo excited and so sweet :) It was crazy, so many things kept going wrong - speakers there in the nick of time, and just so many little things happening all at once - but they all worked out in the last second haha. So it was a great experience. My favorite part was when they got the gift of the Holy Ghost. The Spirit was so strong. <3

 

 

 

That night T came with us to the mission pres fireside too!! It was so awesome! We haven't been able to see him for a while because we sent him a fb message asking if we could come over. We had to get off quick, because our proselyting time was up, so when we didn't answer he snuck into his Mom's phone to tell us we could come over to teach him.... so his Mom is SO happy for us to come over to teach him, but she had to let him know that's not okay. So we set up a time once a week where we'll get to teach him, and he can stiby ll come to church and things we invite him to. Isn't that funny we are teaching someone who does that? We are so blessed to be able to teach him! He's the coolest kid ever!

 

Other then that, this week it feels like a ton of things have happened. But I can't seem to remember too many of them right now, haha. I got my hair cut today :) It's pretty short! I feel like the girl off the movie Hairspray... haha, I love it! A lady in our ward cut it, and she's like a nationally known beautician... she is just the coolest lady ever. She's in the yw presidency, and she has just the funnest personality and is so fun to talk to. And she did a great job!!! It was awesome!

 

 

 

We haven't been able to see R in a while either, so that was disappointing :/ she's going through alot of medical issues so by the end of the day she tells us she's tired. But she's always really nice when we come by... and I think she does sincerely want to know. So please keep her in your prayers.

 

Well, I'm so excited to get your letters! Say hi to EVERYONE for me. (: I love that Adam loves the lambs so much... there is a picture on the cover of a pamphlet that we always use to begin teaching the Restoration to people, just randomly on the street or whenever. We always ask "What do you see in this picture?" And "how do you think that lamb feels?" I thought the second question was cheesy for a bit. But it's true. (: Heavenly Father truly loves us so much. And He wants us to feel like that lamb - safe, secure, loved. Christ can truly give us the strength to face our trials. We don't have to face this life alone, He is always there. (: Like a shepherd watching over his sheep. Isn't that amazing?? I know this gospel is true. (:

 

Well, I love you guys! (: Good luck with everything. I miss you! But there is nowhere else I would rather be right now. Missions are INCREDIBLE. So hard, so much work, and worth every minute of it, every  bike ride and step of the way. I'm so excited for some of the other kids to have that experience too (: It's amazing!!!!

 

Well, love you all! Talk with you next week (:

 

love, Sister Whitney Morris

 

One more cool story I forgot to mention (:

 

My other favorite part of the baptism was our Ward Mission Leader conducting. We LOVE Bro and Sis H!! They are the best. He talked a little in the beginning, because one of the speakers wasn't there yet. But he started talking about transfers - he is brand new, called about two weeks ago - and he was talking about how it's sad that we make friends, and then just get uprooted somewhere else... and he started crying. I just felt so loved. Our ward is incredible. They love us so much, and we love them even more. Sometimes I find myself loving these people so much - the ward, the families we teach- that I feel like my heart is going to burst out of my chest. It's AMAZING. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father blesses us to feel so much love for these people. It's the best feeling in the world.. I can't even describe it.

 

Also, we were teaching a less active family the other day who lives way out in the desert. They saw two rattlesnakes in their yard!! Crazy huh??? And they have a flock of about 30 quail that run around and live near them... haha, that made me feel like home (: Plus it's a family of a bunch of rambunctious boys, so that just made me feel at home too! I just love them so much already, even though we've only taught them once so far. I can't wait to go back!

 

 

 

 

Okay, that's my other cool stories (: love you!

 

Love,

Sis Whitney Morris

 

 

Letter home, week of Feb 17th 2014

 

 

Dear Family,

 

WOW that's a ton of snow!! Holy cow! I can't believe how freezing that looks.... you guys are so awesome for working so hard and doing so much. That sounds kind of cool. It's funny how some times in life are super hard work, and your just completely exhausted - mentally, physically, emotionally - but you just feel good. Because you know you've worked hard. Work just makes you a much better person in the end. I've seen that so much in my mission. It is hard work! I won't sleep in for another 14 months or so haha. But it's definitely the good tired. The best days are when you hit your bed, completely utterly exhausted, but you look back on all the things you've done that day, and the experiences you've had, and you wouldn't trade it for the world (: Those are the best moments.

 

The runner ducks sound soo cute! I'm so glad D. is doing well too, and is staying active and everything. I'm so grateful, thanks for keeping  me updated. (:

 

Mommy, I loved your humbling experience about patience. We have some investigators that are finally getting baptized this weekend, and we just keep running into more and more things to put it off longer. We were talking with bishop, and I was just feeling so hopeless and thinking how can this possibly happen?? It's taking forever! And then I saw the picture of Christ on his desk, and I thought that same thing - how much patience Heavenly Father has with us. I have to help prepare these people for baptism, who although they face challenges, they truly have this pure desire to be baptized. They want to follow Christ. It's such a blessing to help them! And Heavenly Father has infinite patience and mercy and love for each of His children, despite all the things we do.... it really puts it in perspective, doesn't it?

 

Great job on the diet too! I'm so jealous, that's awesome. (: I can't wait to try all these weird health tricks haha.

 

This week has been FULL OF MIRACLES. Wow! Hold on to your seat, because this is going to be amazing. (:

 

First of all, there is this woman that the missionaries taught back in October. We hadn't met her, because they had stopped teaching her. We knew she had needed First Presidency approval for her to be baptized, and we just hadn't gone by yet. Well, this past week the mission called us and told us that she actually didn't need First Presidency approval anymore. We went to her house, and knocked on her door. She answered, and the first thing she said was "It's funny you guys came by today." It turns out that she had recently found out that she may be diagnosed with cancer. She's in her 50s, lives with her family, and had been planning on going  back to school and doing more things with her life. With this diagnosis, she felt all that had been taken away. That day she prayed and asked God "What do you want me to do in my life? What do you want for me now?". Later that afternoon, we knocked on her door.

I know that this happened for a reason. God knew her prayers, and her heart, and He answered them by sending us.

It was the most incredible experience. The Spirit was so strong. She has many concerns, mostly about Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. But she shared with us how she really knows that their true. She recognizes the Spirit she feels when she went to our church, and when we come by. She says it all makes sense when we are there with her, but when we leave she is faced with many doubts and fears. She lives with her family, who are Jehovah's Witnesses, so we think that may be where some of her challenges are coming from. But she knows that it's true. She just feels afraid, and doubts. We are trying to help her. She went to Phoenix this weekend, but we'll be teaching her again when she gets home today. So please pray for her. She is incredible, a very fun person, and is so sincere in her searching for truth, and for that peace and witness from God. So please keep her in your prayers!

 

The other miracle is our little golden child, T! He is THE BEST. He's the one who came to church last Sunday with his sister. (: We had our first lesson with him this week! He was so excited that when he opened the door he yelled "It's the missionaries!!!" And ran to get the plate of cookies - fresh out of the oven - that he had baked for us, haha. He's the sweetest kid ever!! His mom was there too, and she is just like him - so friendly, and kind, and just so fun to teach and get to know. It turns out that she LOVES the church. Her daughter was baptized about 8 years ago in Gilbert, and she would have been baptized too - she loves the church, and believes everything - but she has a smoking addiction. They are incredible though. T. loved church, and they had ordained the deacon's pres that Sunday, so he saw them give him the blessing for that call. He told us that he wants to be in that circle someday (: And he asked us what he needed to do to be baptized. I can't tell you how happy and excited we were at that moment, haha. He is the best kid ever!!

 

Needless to say, this has been a fantastic week (: We're teaching quite a few people, and have two meetings with new people today - H. and J. It's just such a miracle to be part of this work. We had a lesson with I. this week, and he said he didn't want to be baptized - we think he has a mainly intellectual interest in the church, and is happy with the spirituality he has now. But he and one of our ward missionaries became instant friends, and their going to start hanging out. We also gave him a Book of Mormon and invited him to read it, and pray and ponder about it, which he said he would. So keep him in your prayers too! We know if he reads and prays, he will feel the Spirit and will know that it's true. We know he'll want to be baptized when he receives that witness. So hopefully he follows through. (: There are so many blessings to be had in this gospel, if only people would read and pray and sincerely search to know if their true for themselves. Even for those, like me, who have had the gospel their whole lives! If we would only take the time and put our heart into the small and simple things we do every day, our lives would be so blessed.

 

Well, I love you all! Thanks for everything you do for me. I love the little individual message/hash tags at the bottom of the letter, they made my day :D from the French to the 'yoscany power' to the snow apocolapyse and all the messages from you guys... they seriously make my day haha. :D Hearing from you is BY FAR the highlight of my P day!!! And maybe getting frozen yogurt, that's become our tradition :)

 

Oh, one more thing - we took T. to the Gilbert Temple open house this Saturday, with the H's!! It was AMAZING. One of the most beautiful temples I've ever seen!!! The baptismal font has blue, shimmery tiles, and is a mosaic with a simple flower pattern around the edge, all made out of shimmering beautiful tiles.... oh, you'll have to look up pictures. I think they have some online that the media on the news were allowed to take. (: The rooms were soo beautiful as well. But the most beautiful part was the Spirit there. The instant you walk into the temple, the feeling of peace and reverence and beauty is just unmistakable. It is truly a house of God!

 

I took tons of pictures, so sorry there are a lot of emails haha. Can you believe it's February already? Crazy! It's already getting hot here, mid 80s... wow haha.

 

Love you (:

 

Love,

Sister Whitney Morris

 

The red roof at the top left is our church building!

 

 This is part of our area... It is a desert! So dusty! The ground feels like cement - very very hard - with a layer of super fine sand on top. You leave really cool footprints and everything gets dusty. The green is mostly palm trees, cacti, and tumbleweed looking bushes, or nectarine/orange/tangerine trees. Some members let us pick bags and bags of fresh ones for ourselves or investigators (:

 These neighborhoods are where we spend most of our time. The church is in the 'middle again. We bike everywhere, and I LOVE it (: The blue dot is where we live! And we run around the pond - the blackish lake shape in the top right corner - for 3o min every morning (:

 

 I just thought this looked super cool (:

We always accidentally match.... Like 3 days in a row now!

 The Mesa Temple. It's stunning!

 The H's. We love them!!!!

 T. at the open house! Coolest cat in town!

 

 

 This is A! She's such a cutie! We had dinner with their family, and saw that they drew a chalk drawing of a peanut in their driveway... Hahaha.

 Pics we sent to get someone to church (: perks of using Facebook as missionaries!

 

The things we do on P days (:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 The poster we made for our ward mission leader & his wife (: We love them SO much.

 

 

Letter home week of February 10th, 2014

Dear Mommy & Family,

 

Haha, I can't wait till you get the china!! They sent it this week, so it should get there soon (: You can open it and take out the patriotic plates I got for you... there should be two of them. You can admire the rest and repack it if you so desire haha :D That was the best P Day ever!!

 

I love hearing about home! It's so funny, I just love it. Adam's talkative phone calls, low carb diets, clearing skin treatments... I love it haha :D I would love to try that oil stuff! I can't believe how much work everything has been at home, that's so crazy! And VA Beach sounds sooo fun! I'm so glad everything is going well at home (: It's so crazy to think of days of just crocheting, reading, and eating.... and netflix hahaha. That seems like some far off lovely dream (: We work SO hard every day here, I can't believe how unproductive I used to be haha. It's crazy!!

 

So this week has been INCREDIBLE. Oh my goodness. I think I wrote you about I, T, and T? If not, here's the update! 

I. just moved here from San Francisco, and he's so cool! We found him while we were looking for a person from our Bishop. That person had moved away, and I lived there instead now. He said we could come back and teach him. Well, we did! And the lesson went great! This past week we had exchanges, because my comp is a sister training leader, so I led the area. Which basically means I chose the people we looked for/taught/ planned for, and led the lessons in the area. I was so terrified!!! But I started, and once I just started the lesson it just started to come really naturally... and it went great (: I was so happy. Anyways. We taught I about Joseph Smith, and really focused on the apostasy, which he totally believes in. And the Spirit was so strong when we talked about Joseph Smith, and I invited him to be baptized! He said it would be something he's open to, and so we're teaching him more!! He's amazing and SO smart.

 

Then T, is this young teenage boy, probably a little older than Jacob, who is so cool!!! He's the coolest kid I've ever met! He is SO outgoing and friendly, and just has the brightest smile. And he jokes around alot, and just treats people like their his best friend. Anyways, we started teaching him this week too, and we invited him to church! And he came! :) 

 

Then T, we've been teaching for a while, and he's progressing really well. He is also, of course, incredible. He's been reading the Book of Mormon and believes the things we're teaching him... and he also came to church this Sunday (:

 

We saw so many miracles this week!!! First of all, that my leading the area went well, haha. But this past Sunday we spoke in sacrament meeting. We had actually volunteered a few weeks ago, to help the members get more excited and become more integrated with the ward. So we invited I., T., and T. this week to come to church, and they all said they would! (They even said they would before we told them we were speaking. (: ) So Sunday morning, I woke up super early to finish my talk, we did our studies, then we went to T's to walk with him to church. We knock, he opens the door, and I was kind of expecting him to be in his pj's, just woken up.... but to my awesome surprise he opens the door and he's all dressed up neatly in a white shirt and tie and ready to go!! I was the best feeling ever!!! And then he told us that he had invited his sister, and she wanted to come too!!! Most exciting moment of my life!! :D

 

So then we get to church, and socialize, and both I. and T. come too!! And we sit on the stand, and give our talks - I talked about conversion and the Book of Mormon, and how Nephi was converted, vs. how Laman & Lemuel weren't, and how that difference made all the difference in their journey/lives. It went pretty well. Sis R. gave an awesome talk too about testimony (: So the Spirit was so strong... and they all stayed for Sunday School, and that went great too! I. had a ton of comments, and T. texted us later thanking us for inviting him. So it was just incredible. (: It was a day of miracles.

 

Well, that's basically it. There are some funny moments that happened. (:

We've had some awkward moments, of course! Like there's this one guy the missionaries used to teach, but not anymore, but we still say hi to him... so I always wave hi to him, but he NEVER sees me. This one time I wave to him, we're riding our bikes, and I say "Hi P!!!!!!" and as I say it, my bike swerves and almost crashes into Sis R's.... and that's the one time he saw me hahahah. Awkwardddd...

Another time it was night, and we were standing talking to a less active. A man walks by, and he looked exactly like someone we were teaching named D! I say to him excitedly "Oh, hey D!!" And the man looks at me in surprise, walks into the light, and says "Hi!" cheerfully back.... yeah, it wasn't him hahaha. That was so awkward. Sis R. thought it was hilarious :)

Last one, I'm getting a farmers tan already!! On my feet, from my shoes, and my arms... I'm going to be nice and tan when I get home next year, haha, it's not even March yet. Crazy.

 

Well, this week has been fantastic. I love being a missionary. One super cool moment was when I was going to speak. I was SO nervous. But I looked out at the ward, and I., T., T., and his sister C., and I just realized how much I love them. I love them SO much!! It was the purest feeling I've ever felt! And literally every speck of fear inside of me was gone, and it was a moment of perfect peace. Ahhh it was incredible. Right before I went up I got nervous again, but it was an amazing experience. (:

 

Well, I love you all!! Isaac's picture with Shannon and the sombrero is HILARIOUS hahahaha.... I love it. I miss you guys (: Have fun at Mt Vernon and takes tons of pictures for me. Miss and love you so so much :)

 

love,

 

Sister Whitney Morris

 

Lots of pictures this week!!

 

1st - I bought this hair dryer,  because mine broke, at Walmart.... it looked all cool on the packaging.. I opened it, and it looked like a power tool hahaha. Super girly, I know.

 

The one with the swings was last P day. We swung, perfectly happy on this gorgeous day... and when we left. Sis R. turned to me, and said "Sis Morris... I think you sat in bird poo". Dang it!!! So embarassing!!! Hahaha.

 

This is our ward mission leader and his wife, the H's!! We love them SO much. Their amazing!!! And we're going to make a poster for them today, with words out of candy bars. Including Bro H's is a "HUNK" (hunk bar) haha.... their going to get a great laugh out of it (: We're trying to think of a fun one for Sis H too, we'll see what we come up with!

This was at our WML's house, they let us pick out silver and china to send home for after our missions (: It was a blast. So fun!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We went to Panda Express, Sis R. opened her fortune cookie, and totally freaked out... her face was a look of surprise and horror hahaha. I asked her what her fortune cookie said, and it said "Your love life will be happy and harmonious...." hahaha we got a kick out of that one. (:

The Moroni is from the Gilbert Temple. Hopefully we get to go this week! 

 

We went to the doctors this week - that was an experience I'll never forget. I'll write home later about it today. But our ward mission leader & his wife took us, and we got pork bbq after (: Not as good as Shaffers, but still delicious!! And that's our zone at our zone meetings, their amazing!
 

 

 

 

 

 

2 letters for home this week! :)

Dear Family,
Hello from Arizona! :) I just wanted to share a letter & a scripture with you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:16-17

I love this scripture. God did not send us into this life to fail! He provided a Savior, His beloved son, so that we could succeed in this life and return to live with Him! I know as we live the gospel of Jesus Christ by having faith and believing him Him, repenting and making changes in our lives to live in closer harmony with His teachings, being baptized, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end, we can return to live with God again. We can have the Spirit with us always as we keep our baptismal covenants and keep our faith strong. <3 I'm so grateful for Jesus Christ because it means I can live with my Heavenly Father and my family - you guys- forever. I love you all SO MUCH.

Huge hugs from your Sister missionary in AZ!!

Love, Sister Whitney Morris. <3 <3 <3

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Mommy, Dad, Isaac, Hannah, Jacob, Adam, & Peter,,

 

Thanks so much for the letters!!! I got two letters this week and they were sooo awesome!!! I love that you used coloring pages for stationary haha :D And everyone's letters were just so awesome. They make me laugh, smile, and feel so happy and excited every time I get them! And that picture of the bird was the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life!! Hahaha.

 

Thanks so much for remembering me & our investigators in your prayers! That's soo sweet about Adam and Peter. (: It makes me really really good that you guys do that every day. I remember that whenever we have a slightly discouraging moment. (:

 

I can't believe how freezing VA sounds!! Holy cow! I am glad I'm here haha... although that is so cool you were able to think about the blessings of having a  beautiful farm home and just everything. That was really neat. (: Attitude truly does make the biggest difference!! I have seen that SO STRONGLY as a missionary! And humming hymns, praying, and just looking at the beauty of nature and the funny/sweet moments in life truly make all the difference. So that's awesome. (:

 

That's so fun you all went to DC for Shannon's birthday!! She is the sweetest girl, I like her alot. It's so weird to think of Isaac in a relationship (: Hahaha.... weirdo (; But really, he's the best. Your all the best. In his letter he wrote "Who told you I kissed Shannon??? #somebodysgonnagetabuttwhooping!" Hahaha, it made me laugh!

 

So this week has been really great!! Some of the happiest days, actually. It's so nice getting settled in an area and with a companion. It's funny, after a while we start picking up things we both do - like how I make those little "hm" noises all the time? I "hm" to myself, and don't even realize it, because I'm thinking something so interesting? Well, she was laughing that I do that, and now she's started to do it haha. The other day we were at a family's house teaching them and they told us we looked like Daphne and Velma.... that was pretty funny too, haha. We have some really fun times!

 

We've had some really awesome moments this week. Our Bishop has this list he gives us of people who are on the records but they've never met, or who are less active, or could just use uplifting strength and support. We've been working on that, and have actually found some really cool people to teach! One of them is named I. He just moved here from San Francisco, and he is so cool! Probably one of the kindest people I've ever met. We taught him about prophets, and asked him what his religious background was, and he basically taught us about the apostasy - how he believes the Bible is true, but that through so many translations people changed it, etc. It was amazing! We had an awesome lesson with him, and the Spirit was also so strong, especially when we taught him about prophets. It was really cool.

 

We're also teaching a young man named T. He is amazing! He grew up Baptist, and just moved here from New Jersey. He was recently in an oil fire that happened in his kitchen. Luckily just his hand was hurt, but he's been having a hard time finding a job. We've been meeting with him and last week we had the greatest lesson about the Restoration. The Spirit was so strong, especially as we bore our testimonies about Joseph Smith. We've started doing a new thing - when we teach about the First Vision, we recite Joseph Smith's account (I saw a pillar of light, etc.) And the Spirit ALWAYS comes in that moment. Throughout the time I've been here, that is always the time I've felt the Spirit most strongly in lessons, in general. It's incredible. But we recite his account, and then we pause at the end to let it sink in. And then we ask the investigator, we asked T, "T, do you believe this could happen?". This question helps them internalize it and think about if they believed it could happen, and every time they've answered "Yes", and then we testify that we know it happened. The Spirit is always so strong in those moments. It's so amazing. I love being a part of this work!!

 

J. has been doing okay. He recently started working on his Master's degree, so he's been working full time, then comes home, eats dinner, spends an hour with his wife, and then does homework until almost midnight... it's crazyyyyy. So we haven't had a chance to have a full lesson with him in a while. :/ But he is always really open for us to come over whenever, even if it's just for 15 minutes or so. He's such a nice, and extremely intelligent, man. I have faith that he'll eventually come to the point of baptism, and being converted. I just think it will take him longer than usual, which is okay. We're just patient and keep trying to share messages with him that will strengthen his faith and help him.

 

We're giving talks this Sunday, which I'm nervous for!! But it will be a good experience, for the ward too. Our ward is amazing! We got a new ward mission leader, and they take us out to eat for dinner every Saturday. That has been so fun (: I absolutely love them! They are so fun to be around, and have such strong faith in the gospel. Our ward is wonderful!

 

I've been doing really great as well. The mission is humbling (: That's for sure. But it's so incredible. It is such a privilege to be here. I love it!! Even the hard times.

 

Anyways. Before I end, I just wanted to share how grateful I am to be here. I love Maricopa. I love Sister R, she's such a great companion! She is so patient with me and is such a good example, I've learned so much from her. I hope to be able to lead lessons like she does someday, haha. I just wanted to share also that I love Jesus Christ. I love His gospel. I love His teachings, and His example. I just know He's there. I know God listens to and hears my prayers. I have felt Him strengthen and comfort me, and give me peace. I have also felt His Spirit guide me, and give me words to say, when I didn't know what to speak.

 

Studying the scriptures and preach my gospel every day has been an incredible experience. Some of the times I've felt closest to Heavenly Father are in personal study, and then in companionship study when Sis R and I share what we've learned and discuss the things we've read about. It's incredible!! I think in my family scripture study someday I might try and just read a few verses from the Book of Mormon, and then discuss them. Or somehow have the family talk about a principle of the gospel. It invites the Spirit so strongly, it changes it from just words to being a living, vibrant blessing in their lives. The gospel is amazing. (:

 

Well, I've rambled forever haha! One more thing, the member we live with, Sis A, made the most delicious cranberry/walnut bread!!! I couldn't help but think how yummy that would be at home, with the walnuts you've cracked and harvested from our own backyard. (: So you should try and make some haha, although maybe it would hinder the low carb diet thing... maybe around Christmas. (:

 

Love you all!! Thanks so much for the support and love. It means so much to me! Thanks so much for praying for the people we've been teaching as well. I know that helps so much and blesses our work<3

Love you!! (:

love,

Sister Whitney Morris

 

 

P.S. Did you get my letter for Dexter?? Wasn't sure if I had his current address, ha. Thanks! (:

 

We got frozen yogurt!!! :)

And this is how we discern our food/milk... haha. Sis R. drew them! It's a joy to look in the fridge these days! :D

Some pictures of us. (:
