Week 30

Leaving Wien

Posted by Kezia Tripp on Tuesday, August 30, 2022

Guten Tag, liebe Familie und Freunde!!

I have got some news this week, we got transfer calls and I am leaving Vienna to go to… Burgdorf, Switzerland!! I will be whitewashing the area with Sister Clark who is currently serving in Salzburg Zone and is one transfer younger than me on the mission. Another Sister will replace me here in Wien Liesing and finish Sister Nelson’s training.

It is extremely bittersweet to leave this area that I have served about 6 months in, all of the amazing members and friends that I have met and had the opportunity to share the gospel with are close to my heart and saying goodbye is hard! The same goes for all of the missionaries in this Zone that I have gotten to serve with. But it is also so exciting to get the opportunity to serve in a new area, to get to know a new culture and a new people, and to continue the same work but in a different place and a different way.

As it is with any change, the important thing to remember is to do as it says in Proverbs 3:5. “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.”

God has a plan for me that is beyond my understanding, just as He does for each of you. But I know that as I trust in this plan and trust in Him, He will guide me to do the most good and to be an instrument in His hands.

I hope you all have a great week! Remember to trust God

Liebe Grüße, Sister Tripp
