Christmas

Kia ora whanau!! 

So the week went by real quick and it's a bit hard to remember what we actually did. It seems like we spent quite a lot of time preparing the area for the transfer. Elder T is going up to Hawkes Bay to cover a Samoan ward and I will get a new companion.

On Tuesday though, we drove down to Gore for our Zone Conference. It was all about the Savior, which was fitting. We talked about a talk by Elder Oaks called "Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ" and one of the things that struck me is that a large part of faith is trusting the Lord's will and timing for us and being willing to submit to them. In the words of Neal A. Maxwell, "Indeed, when we are unduly impatient with an omniscient God's timing, we really are suggesting that we know what is best." 

This Sunday at church, we had to use literally every chair in  the building and there were still people standing so that was pretty neat! I always love all the visitors coming together to worship with us. 

Love you all! 

Love,

Elder Benjamin
