Letter From Whitney March 1, 2013

Hey, so I ran out of time on the email because I was emailing so yeah but I wanted to tell you a funny experience that we had at the library when we were emailing.  So there were these Elders that asked an elderly woman to switch computers so that they could be side by side like you're supposed to as a missionary and the woman was fine with it but this other woman came over and was like getting mad at them for "making" the lady move and was saying "What organization are you from?" and the Elders were being so calm and cool and she's like "We can take this to the front desk if you would like..." and the Elders were like "Okay".  The front desk didn't do anything and the other sweet old lady had already finished her emails with no problem.  Meanwhile I had no idea what had happened and the crazy lady came and sat down in front of me and some other Hermanas.  As we were leaving she pointed at us and was like "Disperse!" ha ha She's like "if you are loud and a disturbance, we'll call the police" and we just left.  There are some hoolagans out there but it puts spice in life ha ha.  In my email I told you about M. It was the most awesome experience for me and Hermana Arguello even said in her prayer before we left that "if it be they will, help us find a prepared woman."  And that prayer was totally answered.  I think I was lacking faith in thinking that there weren't going to be very many people that would want to listen to us.  But this message is true and God has a way of softening the hearts of people to prepare them to receive the blessings of the Gospel. 
(I can't read the next line...)
...been members.  This is such a crazy experience for me.  I carry a backpack full of books on a bike.  I can't believe it.  You would think I would lose weight but all of these latinos give you butt loads of food that gives you direahs til Easters.   Ja ja.  (can't read that word).  I haven't had direah (can't spell it) yet but I'm expecting it.  Everyday there is so much I want to tell you guys but I don't have time.  I want to hear from all of you.  What's going on?  I get short 2 lined emails I mean come on.  j/k  But serious.  Here's my address so write me a carta.  Love you so much.  Be good members.  Invite people to church and have the missionaries over for dinner.  Mom, I'll let you know if I see JM around and try to convert him too. 
Oh yeah, today we were on the street called Cuhuen, which is in that video on youtube with the lady with the koolaid and crusty-crust lips ha ha
 
El Senor vive!
Les Amo muchisimo
Con amor,

To Grandma Elke & Angie

Yay!  So much fun to get letters from Hermana Sanders in the mail!  Please excuse the "lovely" cell phone pic.  I'm not very good at doing those pics of myself.  LOL!  We just got in from taking Dash for a walk around the block in 28 degree weather and checked the mailbox before going in.  What an awesome surprise!  Thanks, Whit!  We love you!!!


"Dear Abuela!
Su espanol el muy bueno!  Estoy muy impressed!  I'm sorry that work has been so hard but at least you've started your career and you can work your way up to where you want to be!  I've been lucky to be pretty healthy other than a little cough, but I'm healthy and can go to class so I'm so glad for that!  What else have you been up to besides workin'?  How's baby Gavin?  Tell Kristin to send me some pics!  I'm still so sad that I was never able to hold him.  :(  It sounds like the branch is doing well.  When I think of your mission I think abou tthe scripture that says, something like, how great is the joy over one sinner that repents than he that needeth no repentance.  Heavenly Father is so happy that they're there and that your there with a willing heart to serve them!
Awesome!  Te' amo!  (heart) HNA SANDERS"

"Dear Angie!
Como esta?  Estoy muy bien en la MTC y muy animada estoy compartiendo mi testimonia aqui!  Thanks for the Whitney Wednesdays (weird to write my first name ha ha)  I love receiving dear Elders.  Sorry that I haven't been able to write very long letters but I'm doing laundry and have aabout 2 minutes left ha ha!  I'm excited about the Australia trip... send pics!  Oh yeah, tell Blaek that Hermana Horlacher is one of the sisters I room with it's so funny he ran into her family.  She actually told me that before I got the letter ha ha!  Well it's very possible that I will stay here fo rthe next 5 weeks since my visa hasn't shown up yet.  :)  I love it here it's just SO COLD & we never see the sky except for when we go to the temple ha ha. 
Your photoshoot sounds awesome!  I'm glad you're so busy!  Te' amo!  (heart) HNA SANDERS"
