s'letzte Briefal von Österreich.....

Well I knew it would happen one day. I just did not think it would happen at this point in my mission. I am being transferred to Munich, Germany!!! Do not let those exclamation marks fool you. My heart is broken. It has been a pretty rough couple of days since we received transfer calls on Friday morning. I had been here in Linz for nearly six months. I have put my heart into this area. I have seen the Lord work miracles in this wonderful city everyday. I have had some really hard days on my mission here in Linz and definitely some of my best days. I truly love being here in Linz. With the recent miracles going on, I just assumed I would be staying. Heavenly Father thought otherwise. It has been pretty much a rollercoaster of emotions and feelings and it still hasn't hit me yet. 
Yesterday during personal study, I just was not doing good. I just was so sad and could not imagine saying goodbye to so many people I love here in Linz. I felt like half of my heart was getting torn from me. It was in this moment when I thought back to leaving from home for my mission. I remember how sad i was. Do you remember the night I got set apart? When I said how grateful I was to be so sad. I was grateful (and still am) that I miss my family. It was a similar feeling yesterday and today. I am so grateful that it hurts to leave Linz. I have seen other missionaries come and go. Some also sad and others not so much. I am extremely grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who put me here in Linz at this time with the people I have been with. I have learned so much about the Gospel, about the Savior, and God's timing. I have seen prayers answered, miracles occur, and lives changing. I am so grateful to have been able to serve here in Austria for the first year of my mission. Well I have no time to write more. I will have more time next week. 

So here is my last email from Austria. 
Ich liebe euch!!!!
Tschüßi baba
