letters from the president.

it's transfer time in paige's mission. transfers are always an exciting time for missionaries because it determines with whom and where they'll be for the next 6 weeks (at least) of their life. this time around was exciting for us too as we received two letters from president waddoups regarding paige's service:

To the Family of Sorella WIghtman

Your missionary, Sister Wightman, has recently been assigned to be a "New Missionary Trainer". In this assignment she will be the companion of a newly arrived missionary. This is a very important responsibility. Trainers have a profound and lasting influence on the development of a new missionary's attitude and habits.

I am confident that Sister Wightman will do an excellent job in this new assignment.

Sister Waddoups and I thank you for your faith and prayers on behalf of our mission and for all you have done to prepare such an outstanding missionary.

Sincerely,

Michael G. Waddoups
