Elder Samuel Bennett

I just want to give you my testimony cause I'm in the airport. But I know our Heavenly Parents live and Jesus Christ is my healer. They love you all! See you soon

I'm pretty sure that is how you say how are you in kreol which is cool! And I believe pacu or at least that is how it is pronounced is goodbye in Russian.  Well this week was awesome! Full of Miracles! We had to take Rick off of date but he is still meeting with us and is making a friendship with Brother Dalziel which is awesome! And then Mike and tina came to church and we found a member that will be an awesome friend for Tina! It is exciting!! And we celebrated the birthday of Elder Brinkerhoff and Tina on the same day so cake and icecream!! YEET!! Then the chapel tour is looking good! Which will be super exciting! HAY QUE INVITAR A TODOS! It is going to be really fun! God has already given us some small miracles as we have been planning it. Extra tickets, being able to find fabric, just amazing! Then we met Tarry this week and he is just the nicest person ever! I could talk to him forever! I made my comps go street contacting after a lesson canceled. They probably think I'm ...

Yes please everyone! Especially missionaries reading this please work!! I think working is a way we really show we believe because our life is a symbol of our worship to God. If we really love him then we will follow his commandments! And as a missionary if we love Christ we will work! Sorry just a little rant that was needed Now this week was pretty good! We got all of the chapel tour tickets all printed out! And we handed them out to a bunch of members. You need to have your airplane ticket to Paradise! Then we had a really awesome lesson with Mike and Tina! Tina still wants to look for another church but she loves talking to us because of the joy she feels! It was so awesome! It is cool how through the spirit you really seem to draw closer and love people more! Then with Rick!! What a miracle!! Brother Dalziel called with us and became like instant best friends with Rick! We have someone on the inside now lol. Just kidding it is really awesome to see how as we show love to other peo...

  I'm very original thank you very much. But it was indeed a good week! We now have 6 elders in our ward because one got ET'd into the area. He is a cool guy. Then this week we had some awesome lessons!!  The first one was with James and Jessica! Yess!!! James just loves coming to church and he is really excited to read the Book of Mormon as he is excited to change! He's like I know I can put my life back in order I really feel like it is possible now! I love him! They weren't able to come to church unfortunately because of a wedding ring fiasco :( Then with the one and only Rick! Now we taught him Jehovah was Jesus Christ which is make or break and he said it really made sense!! We talked about living prophets and how all scripture testifies of Christ! It was awesome! He is just such a kind and thoughtful man. And we made him cookies for an excuse to see him in person. Then we had some exchanges this week which are always fun. And we are planning this super fun chapel ...

Yeah we contacted some people in Target and they in return contacted us and what to talk about their business with us over zoom lol. Little do they know they are going to get preached to! YEET! Then we are just grinding! Hay que trabajar aful!!  What else happened... we met with James and Jessica on a whim but they love having us over and are so nice!! And they came to church!!! It was just so awesome! They loved it so much! Even came to the 2nd hour! Then we got to Rick to come! That made my day! I have had phone calls with him for 6 months and he came he finally came! Never give up on anyone!  We got to eat with some members this week which was fire! Just so amazing! And MIKE SAID HE KNEW THE BOOK OF MORMON WAS TRUE!! YES!!! LET'S GO!  Hope you all know God loves you all so much! Spiritual Thought: We all love the Isaiah chapters of 2 Nephi am I right? What's cool is he continues to quote these chapters as comfort for him and his people because Jerusalem, their chosen l...

Esta semana estuvo tan bueno! I won't lie good does not mean I love everyday lol. It means that I continue to get better with mental health and we are working hard! We had an awesome lesson with Mike and Tina and they are just meeting so many members and they asked us to have a testimony meeting this next week and they are making coconut curry so YEET! Then we met with Rick and he said he felt this peace that he couldn't describe while reading 3 Nephi 11! I was just smiling the whole freaking time!! Then we got to street contact and that is just awesome! Sometimes I get nervous and pass up some people then I'm like no we have to go back so I make my comp turn around and we go talk to them. HAY QUE HABLAR CON TODOS!! SIN HABLAR NADA PASARÁ! Then we met James and Jessica super cool people! Gave us a water bottle it was our saving grave. Some guy talked to us about Brigham Young and he called him a gangster (in a good way lol) so we will see what happens in our next meeting lo...

So if you haven't seen cicadas go look them up they are awesome! They taste like stale chex lol. Then if you need fun facts please talk to the Abby Bennett! Now this was a solid week! We have been able to do some street contacting again and so I try to get out as much as possible! It is awesome! We met this one guy who talked about nuclear missiles for awhile which was wild. Then the mask mandate is lifted here. It is very weird. It doesn't seem real lol. And we met Amanda this week! She is one of Brother Parsons' friends and he was like just come on over she is here right now and she just asked us all of these awesome questions! It was so awesome! And then awesome district council! It is always awesome to testify of the love of the Savior to anyone and everyone. And we can also eat with members if there is a missionary opportunity which is actually motivating the members here which is so awesome!! Then we played some frisbee golf which was fun. Had another lesson with Mike...

That is what one of the Argentinians we are teaching screamed during one of our practices it was so funny.  But I hope you all had a wonderful week! We had an awesome week! First off we got soaked riding back from the church but it was worth it cause finding in the rain is fun! Then we get to street contact again!! And I get just as nervous as I did before lol. But still so nice to get outside and walk around! We met someone whose aunt and uncle were LDS and owned a kiwis farm. He called them "the richest mormons ever" he was a funny guy lol. Then we are just working slow and steady! Some wonderful miracles are happening! We called Paul and we just talked about what it means to see as Jesus does and then we are going to meet him in person! We are so excited!! In person > phone call. Hands down! Then we are really starting to be able to work with the members really well here! I'm so excited to see what this transfer brings! And then with Mike! What a miracle! We taught ...

Pretty solid week! We had transfers which was fun! Got to see everyone again! And then this week we got back in contact with Rick which was awesome! He has some questions about the premortal life. So we are helping him with that. And then we almost had a member lesson with Mike it would have been awesome but they had to cancel. Then we lost our keys so we had to make a copy of it lol. We just were driving everywhere. But hey we get to be in a car share for this next transfer so let's ride some bikes! Then we met with the Saavedras again which is always fun. Had to pass them off though cause we can't bike that far lol. And played some more volleyball with the Elderly! It was so fun! Love you all so much! Spiritual Thought:  I love that we can have a personal relationship with our Heavenly Father because we are his children. Like it says in Acts 17:27-29 that we are his offspring and God is not like unto God and silver. And then in 3 Nephi 13:8 that He knows what we need. He know...

Please correct me if that is wrong. I need to know! Now this week was a solid one. Had interviews which is always awesome! Me and Sister Ensign were both getting really excited for the cicadas to come! But it keeps getting cold! I need to seem them lol.  Then we had our district council outside so we didn't have to wear masks we almost made it a tailgate lol but we decided not too. Then we played some Volleyball with the Elderly! They are a competitive bunch let me tell ya. Chair volleyball gets intense.  Also some awesome lessons this week! George is doing awesome he reads a chapter of the BOM before most lessons. And be zooms into church to practice his english which is fire! Then Miracles this week (first though please pray for Rick we haven't been able to get in contact with him) we got a referral from some sisters in North Carolina and we got to teach the whole Saavedra family and Carlos came to church on Sunday! So we are now going to spanish branch and English ward on S...

If y'all didn't know the two secrets to life are Jesus Christ and sleep! I reccomend a healthy dosage of both! Now on to the week! It was a pretty solid week we have started cold calling people which is fun lol. You have to say your name really fast and start a conversation so that they don't hang up on you lol. No one gets past us though!! Then miracles this week!!! We found someone named Mike facebook tracting and he let us meet him in person! Straight fire right there! We gave him a book of Mormon and he is excited to learn more. So let's go!!! Then we have been able to run a lot which for me is a miracle! HAY QUE CORRER! Then had an awesome zone conference about the doctrine of Christ. We must talk more of Christ as the world talks less of him - (one of the apostles sorry I can't remember 😅) but we must do this because it fills the earth with Light! It brings peace and direction for the world and us individually because I know Christ guides our lives individual...

Well another week has gone by and I'm saying hello again. I didn't write last week so I am sorry.  Now this week was pretty awesome! We had a lesson with Rick again! RICK IS AWESOME! He is reading the Book of Mormon and just has a desire to know what God wants. And every time we call him we invite a member and every single time the member knows exactly what to say! It is amazing!  Then we are practicing piano and guitar every couple days cause we might play in church so that is always fun and we have made it a goal to only speak in spanish during the day which has been awesome! Some awesome miracles happened with Emerson! He is a stud! Such great faith trying to start a life here in the United States! Then we also had some fun exchanges with the spanish leaders and we played some pickleball. 1v1 me I dare you lol. Then we found Mike! And he came to church which is just amazing! I'm not sure how Facebook finding works but God is in the details!  Spiritual Thought: I think ...

One of the members here has a muggle and he is a big bowling ball just like Titus so everyone go give titus some love. Best dog ever! Now on to the other matters. So I just realized that transfers were only a week ago which is wild. But Elder Thatcher is a stud!! Everyone look him up on spotify - Jesse Thatcher - and he is a musical genius. Now this week we drew another chalk photo and someone came over and said we can't do that then we said we were drawing Christ and they let us continue. YOU CAN'T STOP THIS WORK!! Then we had an awesome lesson with Rick! He is so awesome! My main man Rick! Hopefully we can meet him in person sometime haha. Then we saw Carl again and he got his mom back!! He is so happy and it is so awesome!! And they both came to church! Just so amazing! We had some awesome speakers at church. They talked a lot about service missions and how God just wants us to serve no matter where you are. He loves you for you. Then we had a zone finding day and we got 2nd...
