But I love my new area! Heredia Flores is such a beautiful place. The members that I have been able to meet are so loving and it feels like home to be with them. My new companion is named Hermana Ortiz, also from Guatemala! She is such an amazing missionary and I feel so grateful to be her companion. In my interview with President Wilkinson yesterday, he told me that he felt the impressions of the Spirit to place me with her. I'm confident that we are going to do very well here. I know I am going to learn so much from her. Hna. Ortiz and her trainer, Hna. Grafelman have done some really amazing things here in Flores and I pray that I can reach the bar that has been set. Hna. Grafelman is actually finishing her mission today and will be returning with honor this week. I've had the chance to get to know her last night and today and she is an incredible missionary.
Well family, I know this e-mail was short but I don't have much time and I am unable to send photos... but I want you all to know that I love you all! This church is true. It will always be true. The reach of the gospel is extending far and wide and I feel privileged to have the opportunity to help participate in this grand work. I hope that I can do some good here.
PURA VIDA!
Hermana Whitman
