And she's off!

Hello everyone,

I'm afraid that I will be a poor substitute for Whitney for the next 18 months but for the most part I will just post the emails she sends to us. Not to worry ...eventually you will get the real thing! As you know Whitney has been very excited to start her mission and can't wait to get to Russia. Thanks for giving her such a nice send off this morning.

She mentioned during her last night at home that she will miss her family but not as much as her friends. She figures it's a given that she will see us again but you all are a question mark. You could graduate, get married, start new careers, move out/move on etc. before she gets back. Hopefully this will give her a way to keep track of all of you so you don't lose touch. Plus she can't wait to share her exciting adventures with you!

Now on to the important info. According to Whitney's Grandpa Adams who came to say good bye at the MTC: "She looked very professional ...just like she knew what she was doing!" Ok, so far so good! Sounds like she is off to a great start.

Here is Whitney's address:

Sister Whitney Richards
MTC #187
RUS-ROS 1015
2005 N 900 East
Provo, UT 84604-1793

Her projected exit date is October 15.

I know she would appreciate letters, packages, etc. As you probably already know you can email letters free of charge through Dear Elder.com. She would get them the same day you send them.

Thanks again for the fun time we had when we visited in July. It was great to be able to meet all of you and we had a great time playing werewolf. It's a new family favorite! Take care and have a great rest of the summer.

Luv,

Mom Richards

Sara you are so sweet! We had such a good time. In fact I told Whit that I was going to send your apartment a thank you gift in her honor so keep your eyes open for it! Tonight Whit's little brother Stephen had a bunch of his friends over and we all played werewolf until almost midnight. Good times!
