Hey everyone! Trying to save time today, so I don't have much time to write, but I wanted to say hello.

Just had transfers, and I am staying in Köthen. An Elder Beck is coming. I am excited to get to know someone new and build a new friendship.

As far as a spiritual thought, I would like to leave you with some quotes from a book that my grandmother was telling me about. The book is called: Divine Signatures

'Coincidence is the word we use when we can't see the levers and the pulleys.' - my comment: God has the plan. He knows what He is doing.
No worries. Just do what you can in your sphere of influence. :)

"God loves His children and it pleases Him to bless them, especially when they are striving to do His will. These blessings, also called 'tender mercies,' come in many different forms and in many different ways.  Sometimes, the Lord sends His blessings in such a highly unusual, dramatic, or precisely timed manner, that it might be likened to a 'divine signature.' It is as though the Lord 'signs' the blessing personally so that we will know with certainty that it comes from Him.
In doing so, God not only give us the blessing, but at the same time, He also strengthens our faith and deepens our testimony of Him." - I can testify that sometimes God gives us very specific blessings to help us remember Him and to think about His Love. He cares so much.
You can trust Him. He's watching out for you. He's on your side. :)

I hope you guys are all doing well. Have a good week. Go search out happiness and make a good week. :) Love you guys. Keep close to Christ.
