Dearest family and friends,
This is going to be a quick email, but the biggest news is: I'M GETTING TRANSFERRED!!! What in the world?! I was not expecting this! Especially since President Packard told both Sister Patterson and I that she would be leaving. But, true to form, President received different revelation when it came down to it. :) We are both being honorably released as Sister Training Leaders and I will be shotgunning into Cromwell, Connecticut with Sister Watts (a different Sister Watts, funny enough!). She's coming from Martha's Vineyard and has been out 2-3 transfers. We won't totally be alone- there are already Elders there and they already have us all moved in. :) I'm excited to work on a team with Elders again! And it sounds like the ward is excited to have us. President said they've been begging for Sisters for a year. :) And the work there is on FIRE! Sister Patterson will be training a brand new missionary here in Amherst and she is so excited. It will be just perfect for her! She has such a wonderful handle on the work here and has a great relationship with the members and investigators. And she will be the kindest trainer. I am excited for her to have the opportunity to train! So, we'll be heading to transfers on Wednesday where I'll say goodbye to Mama Hollan! :( I will miss her!
It has been an absolutely incredible week. I have had some very sacred experiences that have solidified my testimony of the Restored gospel. One experience included going to the temple to do baptisms with my favorite Julie Dexter! The Spirit of peace there was overwhelming and as I reflected on the way home, I thought, "How could this be anything but true? Only a true prophet could have brought such power back to the earth." I know that Joseph Smith is the prophet of the Restoration. This is the Restored gospel and church of Jesus Christ. I know that our Savior lives and that his Atonement has power to change us, heal us, comfort us, and bring us home to our Heavenly Father. How grateful I am for Him, for sacred ordinances and covenants that allow us to be re-connected with our loving Heavenly Father, and for the Spirit that witnesses so powerfully of these truths.
I love you all so very much! Have a beautiful week!
Much love,
Sister Wheeler Jr.
