(july 12)
Hello family!
Sounds like things are going well there, I'm glad. Everything is still good here. Transfers are this week. We'll see what happens. One of our members gave us some ideas for visual aids, which include prophet playing cards. So that's what Sister Wong and I have been making today. We'll play go fish and memory and when someone gets a match we tell facts about the prophets. It might be a good way to teach prophets, especially for one of our less actives we think it'll work really well. Xyza hasn't met with us since the 4th of July, so no, she's not even close to ready for baptism. It's 100 degrees plus humidity here...gross! But no worries, I've been in the visitor center for a lot of the really bad days. But there have been a few days when I've been out for an hour ot two and feel like I need to come home and take a shower.
Philip, on the 4th of July after the fireworks - which were fantastic!- we met two different people from New York. Here is what they tell me: people in New York are nice, but if you don't talk to them first they will ignore you. New York is a great place, you'll love it. So there you go, it'll be awesome!
Everything is going great! Missionary work is happening, remember to be a member missionary! Love you all!! Love, Sister Wankier

update!!!
Hailey has still been really good to send letters and emails, but she really hasn't said a lot in them. This last week they had quite a quick, but big storm come through. From what I understand they had hurricane force winds that blew down trees and power lines, so, of course, they were without power, which means no air conditioning. They have also been having extreme heat. The mission emailed us and let us know that all the missionaries are ok, but we haven't heard from Hailey yet. I'm hoping to hear fun stories from her!
a couple things she has mentioned in letters:
Everything is good here. I don't have too much to report. Tonight we meet with our investigator, Arunjana, and then go to institute. It's my favorite because Arunjana is so sincere and awesome, and then institute is good too, but mainly I love Arunjana. She's from India.
Things are going great. Arunjana is doing good. Our appointment with her last week was cancelled because she got sick, but we'll see her today. She comes to church every week too, so that's super good. She is way great, love her! We've been doing tons of finding and getting lots of potential new investigators, one new investigator, so this week we'll hopefully have some good first appointments. We're excited! I'll let you know how it goes. Love all of you! Love, Sister Wankier

time flies!!!!
Hello!
Mission time is so weird! It goes by way faster than normal time. It's already almost July! In July they are starting to remodel the visitor center, then in August it will be closed for a month to finish it. When I first came on my mission I was excited to hear it might close for awhile. Now I'm super sad. I'm glad they're remodeling, but sad it'll be closed! 1- because it'll be super hot in August and street contacting in the himid heat is not fun. 2- the visitor center is such a good resource and I love giving tours to missionary's investigators they bring in. 3- the events at the visitor center are so good!
Hope you're having a fun summer! Love, Sister Wankier

i love efy!!!!!!
Hello family!
Things are going good! I saw Erin Lewis (from EFY) at the visitor center! It was so fun to see her, she's great! I love EFY! Sometimes I see the poster of it in the church and I get really anxious to be a counselor again. It was the best. But I wouldn't trade being on a mission, so it's good! The baptism was wonderful! The spirit was so strong and it was just awesome. I'll send pictures.....eventually :) The sister from Logan is way great, we get along really well.
Love you all. Hope all is well at home, all is well here!
Love, Sister Wankier

yeah philip's call!!!
(wed. june 6)
Family,
Tomorrow we get to go to the Washington Nationals baseball game! We are supposed to have a full pday tomorrow, but Sister Wong and I have an appointment that can only meet Thursday night, then we wanted to go to institute with her. So we got permission to email and shop today. YEAH for Philip's call!!!!! I just got the letter today and was super excited, that'll be so good! We'll almost be next to each other....kinda! I had to tell everyone at the visitor center and they were all happy too. So, transfers were today, but I'm staying in DC2 with Sister Wong. We are both very excited about that. We have a baptism on Sunday for Brenn. She is usper great and super ready. Our recently activated less active, Justin, is baptizing her! Justin had seen the elders on the street, took them to dinner, and told them he wanted to come back to church. They told him about the DC2 ward and he's been coming very actively for the past 7 weeks. We brought him along to one of the lessons with Brenn and he's been a great fellowshipper, always inviting her to things. Him baptizing her will be really good for him.
There is a new sister here from Logan, we're going to be best friends......probably! Except she's in the spanish program so we won't be companions.
Love, Sister Wankier
