Whitney's 3rd Week

We got five new Sister companions this week. It is so nice to have them here. They are going to Switzerland and Frankfurt. President Uchtdorf was at our devotional last Tuesday. He had all of the German missionaries raise their hand so he could see us. He told us that we were the lucky ones. He said German was the easiest language to learn. He said even a chicken can speak it. It was so wonderful to see and hear him. He is so amazing. I had a bad day yesterday -- homesick 'tear check'. I got letters from Grandma Great, Jani & Milo and Taylor and Chris. It was so good to hear from them. I got a letter from my dad, but I had to wait until night time to read it because I knew I would cry. Grandma Great's letter was really cute. She called me her dear little girl. I'm so happy when I get letters. Please keep them coming. I have to stay so vigilant so that I don't let Satan enter my thoughts or let him get me depressed. I have never really known how much he wants to destroy the work until I came here. He has been working me so hard that I can never let my guard down. I am constantly fighting him off. I love you all.
