8/13/24 To the East!

Another transfer like that and now I'm kind of old in the mission.

Biggest news this time was transfer calls. I have been called and am now in Savonlinna! I have been in big cities for a while and I'm excited for the small town switch up.

The next order of business throughout the week was transfer day travel. Once again, we spent hours on planning and purchasing travel for the whole mission. I still am not sure how it all works but I do know that we received a lot of help from the Holy Ghost.

One consequence of being in the office meant our studies were shortened a little. Despite that, I ran into a good BYU devotional named "Guidepost for Life's Journey" from Thomas S. Monson. In it, he mapped out four different things we could do.

First: Glance backward
Second: Look heavenward
Third: Reach outward
Fourth: Press onward

In summary, whenever we are running into a challenge in life, which is quite often, we can do these four things to redirect our efforts and continue in faith. It takes effort but it is worth it to keep going and I invite you all to keep going and doing good.

Here's the rest:
- Visited Lohja for splits and it was pretty fun. Learned how to play Throw Throw Burrito.
- Made it to Savonlinna and it was quite the trip
- I'm in the same district as my old MTC companion!

Well, hope you all are having a good summer!

The work awaits,
Vanhin Hsu
