I got the word from President Maurer that next week I will be transferred, and not only being transferred, but I will be opening a NEW area. I'm excited to get to know this new area, and I've never opened an area before so it will be fun to see. As far as I'm concerned, there are no prospects there and the work will be a lot different. I will for sure miss all my old areas and places I have served in before, and am very thankful for all the life lessons I have learned and the testimony I have gained in those areas, but in a way I feel like it has prepared me for this exciting and unknown task. I'll talk a little more next week about the new area once I know a little more!
This week was pretty gratifying in terms of preparing for home. I finished registering for BYU classes, got some potential jobs lined up, one of which even being a member offering me to come stay with him in China next summer and work at his hotel in Beijing!!! Oh and I have some potentials in the dating pool (haha not really, but if anyone has anyone let me know 🤪
). However, upon completing MY PLAN, which is basically something for all missionaries to do that helps them create a plan for home over 6 weeks, with week 5 being on dating and temple marriage oof. Week 5 shared a scripture with me that stood out, Matthew 6:10, and basically told me that I shouldn't put my own plans over God's plans. That was tough to hear because I've turned into a person who really likes to be prepared and plan ahead of time for different things, but after thinking more about it, I realized life will never really go according to plan, no matter how well you are prepared. What's most important is that we are willing to accept what happens and especially what God wants for us. With me transferring out of this area I have been in for so long in 9 days, it has been comforting knowing that despite what I want, God has a greater plan for me.
