Week 7 letter from Caprice Hey yall! Sorry that I didn't send out an email last week I lost my phone. Haha but I found it and I am able to communicate with the world once again! Also thanks to each of you who have reached out and wished me happy birthday! I'm not really aloud to respond on Facebook but I can see all the messages and I appreciate it ! This week has been crazy, my two companions and I have been running around like a chickens with our heads cut off. We are just crazy busy. We've been able to teach a lot of lessons and surprisingly we've had a lot of success tracting! We hand out Book of Mormons like hot cakes! However with all the success we also have a lot of disappointments. Opposition in all things, am I right ?!? Rough. However I don't want to focus on the sad disappointments because that will make me sad and I'm sure no one wants to read a sad depressing email. Soo I want to focus on all the good! There is so much good and joy when we...

Caorice and I have an inside joke about how she now dresses like a grandma, which became very evident when she wore a with flowers on it that she got at the salvation army!!

Caprice flew to Indianapolis unexpectedly on March 1, 2022. We were told she would be leaving on March 3, so when she messaged me on March 1st and told me that she was flying out in a couple hours we were all surprised! I wanted to talk to her so bad when she arrived at the mission home but all she could do was tell me she arrived safely. Then I received a sweet email from the mission president's wife that she had arrived safely and that Caprice is such a cute girl. Letter from Mission President and Sister Paige Dear Brother and Sister Whitney, We are so excited to welcome Sister Whitney to the Indiana Indianapolis Mission! She arrived with fourteen other missionaries this afternoon. President Page and I welcomed her and took several pictures at the airport. We then traveled to the Indianapolis Temple for some more pictures and continued on to the mission home. We are so excited to be able to have the missionaries in our home again!! We enjoyed dinner, a short meeting and ...

I talked to Caprice the next Monday on her new PDAY! We are so blessed to be able to talk to our missionaries once a week, especially with Caprice because she has so much to say!  She said that classes had been going good, the food wasn't as good as everyone bragged about (she had been sticking to the salad bar mostly), and that she LOVED all the sisters she shared a room with.  When she entered the MTC she felt like she was starting to get a cold (which she gets a lot of constantly), and she was worried it would set her back.  Luckily, one of the sisters in her room was a "healer" and healed Caprice with some medicines and essential oils.  She started feeling better quickly and felt that that was one of the "miracles" that happened in the MTC.                                                   Caprice's first facetime call from the MTC !...

 Caprice called us from the MTC the day after she was dropped off because it was her PDAY.  I loved being able to talk to her that soon.  She told me that MTC was such a spiritual place and everyone there is so cheesy and nice.  She showed me her dorm room where there were only 4 sisters in a room instead of the usual 6 (covid restrictions).  She was so happy to meet all the missionaries in her district in person finally!  She said they all got along so well.  They got to go to the Provo temple and do an endowment session.  She even saw her 2nd cousin Chelsea Whitney there! 

 We left for the MTC the morning of Feb. 23.  The day was cold and snowy.  Beck and Rem didn't want to miss school so they said their goodbye's that morning.  We stopped by Saige's work in Taylorsville to take her to lunch and to say goodbye to Caprice.  We went to Hire's and got burgers and shakes, and ate them in the car because the restaurant was closed.   It was snowing super hard when we drove to Provo.  We had to go super slow and when we arrived at the entrance of the MTC they directed us to a parking lot to park and let Caprice out.  It was so uneventful.  We literally got out her suitcases in the snowstorm, took a quick picture, said our goodbyes, and then some missionaries whisked her and her luggage off.  It felt like a weird dream saying goodbye to my daughter for 18 months.  I held myself together until I got home and immediately started vacuuming ( which I do when I am upset apparently).   Beck asked me ...
