January update

DSC00817 is the day we did Christmas run and got the presents from the fam. and did a white elephant with our zone and the Auburn zone, this is all of the sisters between the two! and I just realized that I sent that one last week too. sorry.
the other two are pictures of an awesome yard in our area!
 
The last two weeks with the holidays the library was closed on Monday, and last week was crazy busy, so I didn't get to write home. Sister Mitchell and I are both staying here in Loomis 1st ward, and the work has really been picking up! This last transfer did not bring a lot of change to the sisters, but our district has a new DL and we have a new ZL since Elder Booth is now is the land of eternal P-days. Oh, but the sisters in the Gridley zone are now prosyliting in Spanish and English, so that is cool!
 
I got to visit with Sister Rebecca Siemens the day she arrived, and that was really cool! One of the sisters was going home, so her and her companion came to our place to stay the night. We woke up at 2:45 to take the departing sister to meet the APs to drive to the airport, so we were all exausted the next day! But tired as we were we drove to the mission office to drop off sister Tubbs, to meet her new comp, and the new missionaries were all there doing president interviews, and waiting to meet their trainers. So I got to meet a lot of sisters from the mission! It was really good to see a familiar face too!
 
 It is really cool to see the changes that happen as peopel come closer the Jesus Christ. And it is amazing when you know that you got to be a small part of that. We all have hard things to go through, but I know that the Lord is there to strengthen us through our trials, and he wants us to succeed and have added joy in our lives, we just need to do all we can.
 
Thank you for all of the love prayers and support!
 
Much Love,
Sister Lisa Garfield
