Hayleigh's mom received a couple of short text messages this week that said "Your daughter has made it to Teton, Idaho, along with a photo of her and her new companion, Sister Crandall.
Looking it up, Teton is just north of Rexburg and had 735 people in the 2010 census. The city itself comprises just 0.68 square miles. Looking a map of the city, it literally looks like it's 2-3 blocks tall and about 7-8 blocks wide. There are two wards that meet in a single meeting house in Teton - Teton 1st Ward and Teton 2nd Ward.
Not much more information was shared, so unsure as to how many wards Hayleigh will be serving and how large of an area her and her companion have.
She was able to call us while she was in the Salt Lake City airport waiting for her flight to Idaho Falls. She said that the Missionary Training Center was awesome and that she had an amazing district. They went to the Provo temple a few times and spent a lot of time together. Apparently they played a lot of four-square. She said that she will really miss her district. Several of them went to Idaho Falls and the rest went to Gilbert, Arizona.
At first, Hayleigh was the only sister going to Idaho Falls from her district but she said 3 other sisters joined them because they had not received their visas for their missions and are going to Idaho Falls until they receive their visas.
Hayleigh's P-Day will be on Mondays. Since her MTC P-Day was Wednesday and she traveled to Idaho Falls this past Tuesday, we're going to miss one of her weekly updates. The next opportunity we will have will be this upcoming Monday.
Her mission does not use iPads, so her only means of communication will be via mail or e-mail that she can send/read on her P-Day. It sounded like she had only heard from a few people while she was in the MTC, so she would probably really love to hear from you if you have a chance to write.
Her new address is: PO BOX 222, Teton, ID 83451.
Sister Cottrell & Sister Crandall (don't they look great?)
The city of Teton, Idaho. Almost as wide as it is tall.
