What the...ZL/TRAIN!?!?

Hey guys! Not only this week but this transfer went by super duper fast! Its been good though! So last week P-day was a little boring hence we never do anything in this zone... so I took like a 2-3 hour nap... lol... oops :) but it's all good! Transfers are this week and I'll be spending Christmas up in Santa Rosa.... as a Zone Leader.... training.... that was unexpected... so if you plan on sending anything, wait another week! Haha. This will definitely be interesting. I haven't been in a trio for quite awhile. 

We had a good lesson with Rayen this week! We were out quite a bit even though it was raining. But with Rayen... she wants to be baptized on Christmas haha so the sisters will probably have to change that (they are going to cover Benicia ward). At least she wants to be baptized!! And soon! Even though I didn't enjoy the hills, I'm going to miss a lot of the ward members here in Benicia. 

Rain :))

We also did a few different service things this past week. On Friday we helped clean a VERY VERY dirty pigsty. Haha I'm not sure if it's good or bad, but I was known as the tidy/OCD person, so they used me for a lot. It was good because it was with a new convert. Hopefully it doesn't go back to the way it was in a week or 2. The other thing we did was this car wash at the church! It was a lot of fun, and on the bright side we were able to give about 4-5 chapel tours, so people were able to see what our church is all about :)) tis was a good thing! 

I wanted to mention something that has crossed my mind the past couple weeks, both because of a book of Mormon class we do and because of my personal study. I find it so interesting how many times Laman and Lemual receive their witnesses. They have so many opportunities to know of their savior, but that doesn't happen when you constantly are denying the promptings of the Holy Ghost. I think it's sad when they or we get to a point where we are "past feeling." Where god still will give us witnesses and experiences but we just don't accept it. So moral of the story. Recognize when it's God's divine influence in your life and stop trying to assign those experiences as coincidences. It's his hand in your life.
