MERRY Christmas and Happy BIRTHDAY to the one and only Eliza Bennett!! What a stud!

Well this week was pretty fire! We were visiting la Familia Castillo a lot this week and we had a noche de hogar with them on Monday! It was so fun! We played a game where you make animal sounds and you have to figure out who is making the sound. And we all walked out of there and just noticed that a light had been brought into their lives thanks to the gospel. It has been so amazing to see their journey! 

Then we had zone/mission conference this week and we had a competition to see who could touch their car first and get back to the call and well we live on the third story of an apartment building but that did not stop us from trying! And Sister Ensign shared a christmas story and it was beautiful how when we make the effort to serve others we can touch people's lives in unimaginable ways! 

Christmas Eve and Christmas were super chill. We did get to teach a lesson to Betty which was awesome and we watched the Christ Child with Ryan and Leah! I invite you all to watch it it is so good! Then leah made us so much food lol. And we played football both those days! I was going hard lol I tried to make some diving catches sadly it did not work out. And families are just awesome! I'm so blessed for my family love them so much!

THE 26TH! Eliza's Bday and Baptism Day!!! It was so awesome. We had to call them in the morning cause they still hadn't decided who was going to baptize them. And Elder Mitchell y I (Elder Benny to the kids) got to baptize! I was so happy all day long! The gospel of Jesus Christ brings so much joy into our lives it is so beautiful! And Sunday we got to pass by their house again and we asked Lester to pray and he has 6 years so when he said he didn't want to they all looked st him and said you can't get baptized in 2 years if you don't start to pray! It was awesome! 

Spiritual Thought:

At the zone conference our Mission President invited us to ponder the birth of Christ for an hour or 2 on Christmas. And I started to think of the signs of his birth. Helaman 14:3 "there shall be great lights in heaven, insomuch that in the night before he cometh there shall be no darkness" and 14:5 "there shall a new star arise". Christ has brought a light to my life. His birth brought a light to this world. John 1:5 "a light that shineth in the darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not" Christ truly is the light of the world. He is my savior and my light. I invite you all the ponder what the birth of Christ means to you. 

Love you Studs

Elder Bennett
