This is the last full week of the transfer....Wow. We'll be finding out who is getting transferred where on Saturday. I'm most likely leaving Green Bay because I've been here for 6 months. Well, what comes will come and I will deal with whatever the Lord has in store for me!
The 4th was a very uneventful day. Not a whole lot of people wanted to talk to us, but as we were walking through a bunch of the celebrations on Main Street, a few people who were proselyting for their church stopped us and talked to us. I guess they weren't having much success either so they figured that of all people who would actually listen to them, it would be us. All of them were really nice though and didn't want to bash with us (which I was really relieved about). No fireworks for us either. Our apartment faces the wrong direction, so we didn't get to see any of them. :-(
Other than that, I'm taking a challenge to study the book of Enos for 30 days, and I completed my first week! There were many, many things that I got out of reading it over and over again. Prayer is essential for anything we want to have happen. And it might take a lot of praying for certain things before they happen too. Enos was a great example of one who really learned how to communicate with God, how to truly repent, and how to show charity towards his fellow man. He prayed and labored with all diligence to bring his brethren to the knowledge of the truth. How are we doing with our prayers? Are they rote, or are we pouring out our whole soul to God? If we give him everything, He can make us a masterpiece.
I love you!
