Transfers

Hey guys, It was a great week in North Ogden! I have some crazy news to share with you all since this week is transfer week!

I have been released from my District Leader role and will be going up to Logan to serve with ELDER FREITAG (pronounced: fry-taug. the g isn't silent). Guess what, he is from GERMANY! He is going to be my third companion that is from Germany! My MTC companion, my trainer and my next companion is from Germany! 

Elder Freitag is kinda of an introvert and he needs some help with confidence so I am companions with him. Also, I will be training him on being a senior companion so I am junior companion right now. Elder Freitag will be senior companion and President Hiers wants me to make sure that he knows what to do as a senior companion AND I have to "train" him as a DL. President Hiers wants me to pass on my knowledge and skills as a DL to him. I am excited for that challenge! 

The coolest thing is that when I came into Clinton to serve in the Clinton West stake, that is when Elder Freitag also came into Clinton to serve in the Clinton North. We both came into Clinton and left Clinton, all at the same time. I was his District Leader for three months and it was awesome. He is a really good Elder and we both are going to tear up the area in Logan! It is going to be sick! I am so excited!

ALSO, I have another challenge too! I will be serving in the Logan Central stake and I just found out this morning from Elder Freitag that we will be opening up an area that was dead for months, the Logan East stake. President Hiers also has assigned us to work in the ASL branch. So, I will be working in TWO STAKES and ONE BRANCH! There will be a TON of people to teach and I will not have time to "waste" on those who are going to take a while to get baptized. It is going to be SICK!

The Logan East stake is SO HUGE! It is going to be so CRAZY! I am so pumped up and excited to take on this challenge! Here is the boundaries for Logan Central stake.

I am really sad to leave North Ogden, even though I only spent six weeks here. I have grown to love a lot of people and I am really sad to leave BUT I am excited for the next challenge. I am going to work so hard and bring all of the people I can to Christ! I know that Jesus Christ is our Savior! "He is the greatest being to be born on this earth - the perfect example - and all religious things should be done in His name. He is Lord of Lords, King of Kings, the Creator, the Savior, the God of the whole earth, the Captain of our salvation, the Bright and Morning star. He is in all things, above all things, through all things and round about all things. He is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last; his name is ABOVE every name and is the ONLY name under heaven by which we can be saved." - BD definition of Christ. Page 633 of BD. I have just finished memorizing the BD definition of Christ and every time, I recite the definition of Christ, it brings me much peace that I need in situations where I am stressed. I know that He lives!

I love you all and have an awesome week!! Love, Elder McGrath
