Good day from Trinidad!!! It has been a great couple of days as we
have watched General Conference with the rest of the Church around the
world. We have been so blessed by the messages. President Monson
said, " I have so far to go before I sleep and promises to keep." I'm
not sure that is exact but that is definitely how I feel after
listening to Conference. It is a good time to evaluate and set new
goals.

We have had another busy week. It has been transfer week and and that
is always an adventure. It went without any major difficulties for
which we are so grateful. There were five Elders who returned home
this week and will be greatly missed. The feelings are very mixed as
they leave. They can hardly believe that there mission is completed
and feel sadness at leaving and yet they are so excited to see their
families and start their personal lives again. It is definitely a
"pay day" for President and Sister Gamiette. They have grown to love
these missionaries so much and have watched them mature and strengthen
their testimonies while serving and changing the lives of so many.
There is a sweet spirit in the Mission Office! We will receive the
new missionaries from the MTC in the Dominican Republic this week. We
talked about them last week. None of them are from the US and four
are from within the West Indies Mission boundaries. Another great
week ahead. Immigration is always a challenge and we hope that we
have things in order.

May we all be blessed in the coming days as we remember the messages
given to us this weekend and use them to set and renew goals. Faith,
the Holy Ghost and listening to a "LIVING PROPHET" were repeated
subjects. Our love and prayers are with you.

Much love,
Elder and Sister Wheeler
