Dear Family,
Did you get your birthday box okay this week?
Yes, I did get my birthday box this week, funny story about that. Sister Rigley and I were heading out to go out and work (Sister Rigley had some letters to drop off) and we saw the postal worker and he told us that the package on top of the mail unit was ours (mine, really) and it was the package you sent. We took it up to the apartment so the things inside wouldn't melt. Good thing too it was a HOT day and there were things that could melt.
Are you ready to have a little party to celebrate your 22nd birthday?! I hope you get to have a little fun and a little celebration.
Yes. Yes I am. I hope I get to have a little fun as well. I think I deserve at least a little fun.
Oh, and you should have had a baptismal service last Saturday. How did that go?
Yes! we did have a baptism this weekend. Her name is Sara Edmonds. We had to start her baptism a little late because the font wasn't filling as fast as we wanted it to (it was started too late for the program to be on time). Don't worry though, no one minded it. Sara was apprehensive about her baptism, but that was to be expected. Sara was baptized by a member of the ward, Brother Rucker, who is just awesome, a feller who's sensitive to the things which are spiritual.
It's almost time for dinner so I'm gonna have to wrap this up, but just send the questions again next week and I'll answer them then. Love.

Transfer 7 Week 5, September 21, 2010
This was all we got from Angie:
Okay, here's the explanation to the pictures. The garden with deer is the apartment we live in. My comp and I. The photos with the little girls—the close up on three of them, one of the girls looks like Lisa did when she was younger. I took the picture of it because the girl reminded me of Lisa.

Transfer 7 Week 4, September 13, 2010
Dear Family,
I guess I should start off by telling y'all a little more about Sister Rigley since both Ma and Mim E (Grandma) have asked me in both of their emails.
Sister Rigley is from . . . you guessed it, Utah! She's from Layton, Utah. She's been out for a little over a year. We've been having a hard time, but this past weekend we worked things out and I'm gonna send the evidence of what we did to get some unity in this companionship.
The baptism we were going to have this past Saturday (Sept. 11) has now been scheduled for the 25th. Yay! We'll have two entering the waters of baptism that day, and they both came to church yesterday!
I'm glad to hear that Amanda has had Riley. I hope she sends me something telling me about him. I don't like being outta the loop, especially when it comes to my friends.
2nd Email
Mom, I've thought of something that I want for my birthday. Dancer knee pads. I fell this past week and hurt my knee (part of the pictures I just sent). My companion would also like some labels so she doesn't have to write her name on every letter she sends. Her name is: Sister Rachel Marie Rigley. Thank you so much.
And speaking of letters I could use some more stamps! (I figure I'd ask since my birthday's almost here.)

Transfer 7 Week 3, September 6, 2010
It's me, Sister Whitehead. It's Monday, September 6, 2010. I'm sitting here in the Family History Center at the church in McMinnville with Sister Rigley and the Spanish Elders, Elder Goodman, Elder Lowry, and Elder Shoun (like town). I just read all y'all's emails and am now responding to it.
Mom, when did you tryout for the MoTab? I don't think you told me that, perhaps you did, I just don't remember.
I'm having a bit of a hard time. I feel burned in McMinnville. This is my 3rd transfer and I've only been in areas for 2, so this is new to me. I don't know if I can handle it—well I know I can, because I know the Lord won't give me something I can't handle. To be honest, that's how I've been handling a lot of this that has happened out here in Tennessee.
This past week has been pretty hard. We had three baptismal dates at the beginning of last week and now we only have one. One of the dropped dates is because we haven't been able to see him, the other dropped date is because she doesn't feel prepared for baptism. (She is, she just doesn't know it. She's pretty much a dry Mormon.)
Not a lot has been done I'm sad to say, so this is all I have to report on.
