I am starting to see. That sentance is a great one. I never really REALLY understood how to act as a kid, and I never understood some things that happen to us in life. I'm starting to understand and see the hand of the Lord in my life, and I'm making decisions for the right reasons.
We actually spent this week organizing transfers. It was weird knowing where everyone was going before they did! We also started again meeting with a part member family, A and P.

The new comp, I can't believe I didn't say, Is Elder Johnson, from my MTC group! HE's super funny, and was acually bern Zone Leader before this, and is from Bountiful.
We've been moving super fast and busy for the last little while too. I'm really enjoying the constant stimulation (so to say) of having stuff to do, and enjoyed fixing problems and making order where there wasn't before (there was some crazy stuff that didn't get passed on from missionary to missionary that I'm reinventing/relearning). It's also great fun having 3 companions! The crazy thing is, we're almost halfway through the second transfer here in the office, then I'll be second oldest (and training someone new), and then I'll be the oldest, then I'm on my last transfer in my last area....!
But I'm also really enjoying the people here. For example, we just had a recent convert move from Innsbruck and we just got in contact with him. He is in his 20's and was baptized in July. He has such a strong testimony, and teaching him this week was such a joy for me! He has the priesthood, and it was so encouraging to see a convert that has such a strong base and so much potential.
One of the greatest moments of my life was also when I went to the temple to do baptisms. It was really such a great feeling when I was there. I wanted to go back so much!
I hope you have a great week, talk to you next saturday!
Love, Elder Lingen
