Hi Everyone!
I was able to have a brief visit with Sister Partridge this morning as she was waiting for her flight to Oregon at the SLC airport. She's doing great and thinks she's ready to head out to the next stage of this amazing adventure. She said it still doesn't feel real, more like she's at some activity where you practice being a missionary and now she gets to go on a trip. She has loved her companion and is happy that she will be able to see her since they are both going to the same mission.
We didn't get nearly as much time as either of us wanted or needed, but it was great to hear her voice and know she's ok. She has been having a few issues with her normal medical stuff--not enough to stop her, but enough to let her know it's there. If you will just keep her in your prayers that will be so helpful. We're hoping as her body adjusts to this new life and schedule, and as she gets back to eating what she's supposed to, she'll be back to "normal". She did say she would LOVE letters! I told her she's so happy and upbeat that everyone probably thinks she doesn't need that extra boost, but she assured me that she does. :) It is "legal" to send her emails, and she REALLY appreciated the ones that she has received, but she has found that she doesn't have time to read or respond to them like she would like to, so she's hoping if it's in letter form, she'll be able to respond by mail when she gets a few minutes. If you don't want to make a trip to the post office or don't have stamps, you can write through "DearElder.com". It will still cost the price of a stamp, but you won't have to leave your house. They will print off your letter that you type, put it in an envelope, stamp it, and send it on it's way. It's a handy little website.
Thank you all so much for your continued love, support, and prayers! It's greatly appreciated by all!!!
Tons of Love!
