No Regrets

The last week of transfers everything right happened.... We were able to take an absolute dead area and build it up with people to teach, miracles and baptisms.... We were able to teach Y's Father and his girlfriend! We got to work with this member who had been struggling recently and seriously out of nowhere told us she decided to serve a mission and put in her papers! And everything was just going great.... On the morning of transfer calls... I read Alma 5.... And I personalized it to myself.... in verses 14-20 alone.. he asks 11 questions... all in which I personalized.... it asks like could you lie before God saying your works were righteous?... And I changed it... Can I lie before God saying I gave my all in this part of His vineyard? etc... And at the end of finishing it.... I knew I was leaving.... I had had no regrets... I gave everything I could and served the best to my ability..... And so had my fellow Zone Leader, ... and my Trainer, Elder A....At the time, I was on Trade-Offs with my ZL... and he told me about transfers before anyone else.... and we just cried.... not tears of pure sadness... it was mixed emotions... but because we had given our all in this area... In Mosiah 4:24 or 25.. I forget, it says... "I give cause I don't have... but if I had, I would give.."... And everything we had to give.... the Harbour City YSA branch has..... it's hard to explain... but at the same time... I knew it was time to move on... Because the week before in interviews with president... I asked him like "I feel like I'm not living up to my full potential president.... How do I fully lose myself?"... And he smiled.... and now the Lord has his hand in it. And so with that question I asked president... and even the Lord countless times... He has answered my question.... He's giving me challenges so I can live up to my potential.... leaving the City absolutely killed me... I have so much love for all the members there... every single one... but everything was inspired.... And the answer to my question came by being shotgunned into Gosford in Newcastle. It's got the most beautiful scenery!! But yeah I'm excited for this new area... IT SHOULD BE REALLY EXCITING! I get to work with families and stuff now! One of the reasons why I wanted to come on a mission, so yayyy!! I'll definitely have some stories next week.... I EVEN GET TO GO TRACTING!.... It's been 7&1/2 months and I've never knocked on a single door... I'ma go tracting like 8 hours a day to make up the time hahaha.
