We went to Pust at Ptuj which
is basically a huge celebration to chase away winter. There is a large group of
Slovenes in Cleveland actually and they celebrated Pust there this year. We all
went as a Slovenian zone for P Day to Ptuj to celebrate and that was really
fun.

Well, the dreaded transfers have come and gone and I have
left my beloved Maribor for Ljubljana to be with Sister Jennings. I am sad. I would be lying if I didn't acknowledge
that. I think I'm a little heartbroken, in fact. I love the people of Maribor.
But I have faith that the Lord wants me and needs me
somewhere else right now and that He will take care of those people who I love
in Maribor.
Not a lot of time, but I would just like to say that I
believe in Jesus Christ and that I have felt him lifting and supporting me this
last week. I have received strength beyond me own to bear up under the burdens
I have felt. I know that He will do that for each of us who will sincerely turn
to Him and ask. I am grateful for the peace that comes from living like Christ
lived. We need peace and He will give it. I love you!
Keep your chin up and find the joy in the life you're living
right now. Someone said at church yesterday that problems are good things
because they help us grow. I can't say I'm always grateful for trials in the
moment they are happening, but I can say that when I have looked forward with
faith through the storms of trial and turned to the Lord, relying on His
strength, He has made me stronger and built me up.
