Hello!
Wow,
what an amazing last week it was here in the grand city of Wilkes-Barre, PA! This week flew by in the blink of an eye, I swear!
Monday,
I had my last ever District Meeting. It was awesome. I loved being a District Leader for such a great group of individuals.
(Elder Wilde and Tai. He is so proud of how strong in the gospel Tai is!)

Tuesday was obviously 4th of July. We watched fireworks off of someone's deck and ate well that evening 🙏
Wednesday,
I had my departing interview with President Randall. He is the most
incredible man. Honestly, I can't wait to see him up on the pulpit in
Salt Lake in a few years.
Friday,
I had my departing temple trip with all the missionaries leaving this
transfer. That was amazing. President Randall and the Temple President
spoke to us before the session began and wow -- incredible experience.
Saturday, I went back to the temple again with the stake and did baptisms
and then another session -- that was once again wonderful.
Sunday,
I went down to Philly again and baptized Rachel, who was one of the
investigators I taught in the YSA when I served there. It was such a
remarkable experience.

I honestly could not have asked for a better
ending. Brother Fletcher drove all the way from Maryland to Wilkes Barre
-- 10 hours of driving total. Couldn't be more thankful for him. Love
the Fletchers.

I am so sad to leave Elder Sandberg. We had such an incredible time together.
(Elder Wilde calls Elder Sandberg, "My little son." He was Elder Sandberg's trainer.)
(Elder Wilde entitled this: "We out here Reapin' !")
This
week we have our departing missionary experience at the mission home on Tuesday, and then I will spend the last week of my mission in Cherry
Hill! I am so excited to go back and see everyone!!!
All is well - I will send my very last full time missionary email next Monday!!
LOVE YOU ALL. See you soon!
Elder Wilde
