"You say Goodbye and we say Hello...Hello, Hello!"
Dear Missionaries, Leaders and Parents of the Georgia Atlanta North Mission:
We received word late yesterday that President Wolfert is headed into surgery this morning for his detached retina (3rd time). Therefore they will not be arriving in the mission today. Sister King, Connor and I have been asked to stay on indefinitely. At the minimum it will be two weeks but could go longer than that. We think we will be here long enough to facilitate the next transfer. We are so excited. We hope you are too! There is good to be had even in these situations.
So all of our things are on the way back to our home in Bountiful; the car, the books, our files, the pictures, our clothes, etc. The mission home is bare. We do have a few suitcases between us. Please be patient with us as we make due with what we have here.
We will also ask that you fast and pray this Fast Sunday for President and Sister Wolfert and Tess as they go through this trying time. You can image how it feels to be excited by the training in the MTC only to be told you have to delay. They are heart-broken that they can't come today.
So we will look forward to seeing you all again, soon! May the Lord continue to bless us all.
Love,
President and Sister King
P.S. To the Parents...We received word last week approval has been granted to establish the first Portuguese speaking branch in the Georgia. Officially it will probably be established the middle of July. We may be here to see this historic event!
