My heart is full! This is the last e-mail we will get from Brooklyn while she is a missionary in Spain. She loves the people there so much, and from these photos it's pretty clear that they adore her too.
48 hours, Buttermilk. Just know that so many on this side of the pond can't wait to see you too. We love you!

Week 72: Gozo
Well folks, here we are! If you're one of the people who has been here for the whole 72 weeks, you still probably won't remember that my first ever word of the week was gozo, or joy. At the end of my mission, that's still what it's all about.
I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know that thanks to His sacrifice, it is possible for every single one of us to be forgiven and to feel not just transitory pleasure or happiness, but genuine, eternal joy. I know that the key to accessing that joy and redemptive power is making and keeping sacred covenants with God by the power of His authority. I know that this pursuit of a personal relationship with Christ gives life meaning, and that it is accelerated by the consistent and sincere study of the Book of Mormon. Christ is my savior, my mediator, and my reedemer, and His work of the gathering of Israel is the most important thing happening on earth right now. I invite every one of you to look to Him, because with Him we don't need to fear.
With love, signing off,
Hermana Wheeler
