Transfers

Sometimes transfers can be hard when you can't say "good-bye". Today at the zone conference we saw some of the people who got transferred. We went to the Thursday conference, even though we were assigned to the Friday conference because we have people we visit with every Friday. It's easier for us to change than it is for them. I'm sure the messages are similar in the three days it takes for the whole mission to have conferences.

We are meeting with a wonderful family who lost a two-year-old son a few months ago. The parents quit going to church in their early teens and their children have never been. Early this week we were thinking of asking them if we could start teaching family home evening. Well, we didn't even have to ask. At the next appointment, as we were setting another time to come, they said they didn't want to cause a problem for us but if possible, Monday nights would be much better for them. How about that! Do you think we were guided to think that? Now we are preparing a lesson for next Monday night and they are excited.

It is really the Lord's work and He is in charge and guiding us at all time. He loves all his children and everyone we see in the world is a child of God. Look in the face of the begger or of the criminal and think what his father thinks of him. He was created in the image of his father.

The work is true. We just have to run harder to keep up.
