Talofa Family!!!

Well things have been great Sister Prows and I have been working really hard to get to know everyone in the ward and it is great!! we are truly finding great success in working with the members. We have been sharing with them Mormon messages and it is great there are a lot of really good ones.

I have been losing weight i mean not a ton but hey its a working progress!! The sun has been shining and it has felt so good but its not a dry heat, its humid here and i don't like that part but hey sun is sun so i wont complain too much. sad part is that i am still really white i am pretty sure that it doesn't matter how long you are out in the sun you will always be white if you stay here in Washington. 

I am so glad things are going great for all of you i love you and pray for you all the time! i miss you so much and i am so excited to see you next year lol I love being a missionary and there is nothing else in the world that can compare. 

so the other day i was reading in 3 nephi and it was the part where they everything is destroyed and I had a question come to me ' Why did the nephites have all the destruction when the Jews were the ones who killed Christ?"  and so i pondered that question and if you think about it the nephities had so much knowledge given to then they knew about the people in Jerusalem they knew and rejoiced of the birth of the Christ child. they had so many things given to them and they did not live up to the expectations that the Lord had set for them so remember the more you gain the harder your fall if you ever turn away from the Lord. I have seen it so much on my mission i meet people who served  great missions saw amazing things and now they are not living a very good life they think they are happy but so did the Nephties so the great and dreadful day is coming Great for those who are righteous and dreadful for those who procrastinate the day of there repentance! 

any way just wanted to share that with you i hope you all know that i love you and miss you see you in 6 months!!!

love, sister Whetten
