TRANSFERS!

At the Corner of Bittersweet Dr...

Hello!

Leaving is always so Bitter-Sweet!

This is officially my last Monday at the little Menomonee Falls library.

The New Area:

I'm being transfered to SHEBOYGAN!

Everyone in this area seems to have a connection to Sheboygan. Even our neighbor's family lives there!

The missionaries who have served there say the ward is on fire with Missionary Work!

& that it's the next Lake Michigan ward.

I feel so good about going there...that's how I know it is where I need to be.

I've learned a lot about being an effective missionary because of the leaders I've served with here!

Can you believe I've spent 1/3 of my mission in this ward?!

I've decided that Life is like living in "The Falls:" (I'm going to miss saying that I live in "The Falls!")

One experience flows into the next...& what you take out of the past makes the future that much better.  

But... Everyday I get to say I live in Sheboygan! Since Day 1, it's been my favorite Wisconsin word to say.

SHEBOYGAN. SHEBOYGAN. SHEBOYGAN. SHEBOYGAN. SHEBOYGAN.

The New Companion:

My new companion is Sister Milligan.

(Sister Zebley's MTC companion! Talk about an easy transition.)

But "Holy Cats!" I am going to miss Sister Zebley SO much! She is definitley one of those people that you are forever friends with post-mission.

New Goals:

I love making goals! You know what President Monson says, "Without a goal there can be no real success."

My new goal for this transfer is to Dive into Preach My Gospel and really get to know it!

I'm so grateful for this goldmine of a resource! I don't know how missionaries did it before PMG!! Phewfta.

This week was wonderful because I was able to go on exchanges to the YSA ward! Whoot Whoot!

...Which is rare because the junior companion usually stays in the area and the senior companion leaves- so I was super lucky that they planned it this way! It was my very first time not being in my own area for an exchange.

It was crazy having a missionary work filter: instead of talking to everyone- you only try to talk to people who are younger!  

Also: the YSA sisters (aka our Sister Training Leaders) live with the Oakcreek Sisters!

(Sister Packer-who I met at tunnel singing before my mission- & Sister Ormby-who was emergency transfered from our district! So it was so fun to see both of them again!)

I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK!!

Steadfast and Immovable in Christ!

Love,

Sister Osmond
