Week 1 of approximately 78-ish

Hi Everyone!

Whit has asked me to update her blog while she is on her mission, please keep in mind I am not a seasoned blogger - in fact this is officially my first blogging experience.  Most of the information will come straight from her emails just to make sure I am delivering the correct message. 

In the email we received from Whit today she let us know her Pday is Tuesday (for now anyway) so I will do my best to update the blog either Tuesday or Wednesday nights so all of you can keep up with all she is doing.

FAMILY!

Time is short so i'm not worrying about grammer. Sorry.

Listen, I wish I had words to describe my love to you all. But I don't. I don't know how much ya'll want to know, or what I should tell you. But I will tell you that I have been humbled and broken. I finally understand fully what it means to rely on my savior and father in heaven. i struggled from wednesday to sunday, but things are better now. wanna know why? because i chose to rely on my savior. I know youre probably thinking, wow whit has seriously changed. and you're right. but I had to change in order to be here. I am a representative of the Lord. This is no longer my life, it's his. This is his time and I need to be the person he wants me to be. The person I need to be. My branch president (shin) said, "This is the embreo of your eternal life". Life has such greater meaning to me.

When I was struggling those first few days, I lacked faith. So all I have to say is that if you are struggling with me being gone, you need to rely more fully upon the Lord. Trust him. He is with me, He is watching over me, and He is watching over all of you. TURN TO HIM.

I don't know how to not be "all preachy" I am a missionary, it would be weird if I wasn't. Wouldn't it?

ALSO, can I just tell ya'll how much I miss being pampered, or pampering myself. Holy cow. I didn't think i would miss that and i do.

AH my time is up

i had so much more to say :(

please write me on dear elder EVERYONE. it helps me so much when i can go home and read

bye love you.

love sister hunsaker!

As Whit mentioned above letters are a WONDERFUL thing and they help her through the tough days.  If any of you are thinking about writing or are interesting in writing her PLEASE do!  It only takes a few minutes and if you go to dearelder.com and submit a letter before noon she will get it the same day.  So - after you are done reading this update go to http://www.dearelder.com/  click on write a letter, select Provo MTC, click on write a missionary, type in your information, you will send the letter to Sister Whitley Hunsaker MTC box #250.  She may not be able to write all of you back but I know she would love to hear from all of you!  

A BIG thanks to EVERYONE for their support, it means so much to Whit and to our family.
