The past week has been a huge transition time. Transfers can be stressful but they're always a great adventure!
In the last week I have learned so much and I have already begun to love the people here in my new area. "Whom the Lord calls, He qualifies." I know that is true.
I was very hesitant to come to this new area. I have always struggled meeting new people and trying new things - except for food - and I love the people I have spent four and a half months with! How in the world could I just move on without any thought for them and for the past?
2 Nephi 31:20 says, "Wherefore, you must press forward with a perfect brightness of hope, having a love of God and of all men..."
My answer was right there!
Press forward. Move where you are called to move. Love everyone, no matter what. Trust in God and believe in His ability to help you to accomplish all things that He has commanded.
Sometimes we are called to do difficult things. Sometimes the things we are asked to do seem impossible. However, "all things are possible to them that believe." (Mark 9:23) No matter the difficulty, no matter the seeming impossibility of the tasks that are laid before you, the Lord has prepared a way and He will continue to prepare a way.
So when the way seems to be blocked or when the burden seems too much to bear, don't give up. Don't give in. Press forward and hope for a brighter dawn.
