This transfer is already over... What the heck happened? I swear I just left Sheboygan, but I've already spent 6 weeks in Green Bay and I'm going to be spending another 6 weeks here because I'm not getting transferred and neither is Elder Rytting! He is going to be here for his 6th transfer which translates to 9 months in one area! He's so excited, because a lot of good things have been happening here in Green Bay. We have some incredible investigators who have told us the Church is true and that this is God's plan for them. They are amazing. You should be hearing about a couple baptisms happening within the next few weeks!
Elder Rytting and I went shopping last P-day and I found this shield that is now hanging up in our apartment! It reminded me of Aslan, so I bough it! It only cost me $1.00 so of course I had to buy it!
I am really excited to go into this transfer. I have been doing a "spring cleaning" of sorts with myself and am going through me, to see what kind of clutter I have accumulated over the past year. Some things I know must go. Some habits need to be thrown away. Some things I know I'm definitely keeping and holding on to. I encourage each of you to do a "spring cleaning" with yourself. What can you get rid of that might be cluttering you up? What things do you really need to hang on to? But most importantly, as you clean, be thinking about who God needs you to be. What kind of mansion is He trying to build you up to be, and are you getting in the way of that? His plan is perfect; our plan is not. Might it be painful? Absolutely. Will it be worth it? Of course. If we are so valuable to ourselves, why not give ourselves up to the Master who will mold us and change us into the best person we can be, because we can't get there on our own. Try as we might, we will still far short of perfection. He is the only way we can truly find ourselves.
I love you all!
