Elder Samuel Bennett

Here we go this was a good week so buckle up and read the letter. Pday and we headed down to Jumbo! It reminded me of Fashion Place Mall. Then at night we were contacting and we stopped at car and contacted! It was so fun! Oh and we are hyping up the members here! We had a lesson on the Book of Mormon in Elder{s Quorum and at the end Elder Grey invited everyone to hand out a book of Mormon to everyone! Oh and we contacted someone named Martin Ramirez and he said pass by his house the next day. When we passed by this lady answered the door and said no Martin lives there and she got worried so she called her son to confirm. So maybe we contacted a ghost lol. Then we are teaching Nicolas! He is super cool but loves to talk about literally everything so sometimes our lessons last awhile lol. One of the best lessons this week was with Susanna! A referencia de un miembro. We taught her the restoration and when we said the prayer I looked up and she had the biggest smile on her face. She told...

Hello chiefs, This week was so fun! We just keep on grinding. I have found the 2 enemies of the missionary are time and sleep. I like the phrase in the mission manual that says this time is short and precious and it is so true. Then we had a zone conference this week and it was so good! President Cardozo always has such a strong testimony! Then we watched a video from the TABCATS and it the message was when life seems to be spinning just slow down and listen. Also got to do a service this week! So much fun! We mowed the lawn with the edger. Then during the zone conference we were told to emphasize baptism in contacts more and always invite. And man we saw some miracles from that this week! We had 6 people accepts dates this week but not everyone came to church. (The siesta has much power here) But what was really cool when we taught the Familia Romero. And after we invited people to be baptized the spirit was so strong and everyone listened more intently. Also Hermano Pereya made us so...

But I got transferred! It was super funny cause usually you find out on saturday but we had a super awesome conference with Presidente Hoyos so we didn{t find out till sunday. I have never packed so fast in my entire life. Think about this... I packed 2 years of my life in 20 min lol. Then I was alone on a bus for 3 hours. That was weird lol. Then I swear everyone from my zone was transferred so we were all the bus together. Oh and get this! I got whitewashed again!! LET{S GET IT! My new comp is Elder Perez from Peru and man he talks fast and speaks even less english. LOVE IT! Oh and I am in Barrio Heller in Neuquen, Neuquen. From pueblito to Ciudad and I have never been so lost lol. And the pension we are in is with the Lideres de Zona. Entonces with 4 elders we have a pension r...

Wow it is getting real hard to write ever day lol. We had a change in Schedule so we can stay out till 9:30 or 10 if we have a lesson. So you get back to the pension and bam eat, shower, sigamiento, and to bed. Lunes we played soccer! So much fun! Everyone was so suprised that a gringo could play soccer. But if you play soccer for 2 hours don{t forget to stretch or you will hurt. Then had an awesome lesson with Diego and Karen!! They are so awesome! Martes we found the Familia Segundo! He is a less active member and he is so funny! He was like I am the only one missing from the church now so you know what that means!!! He wants to come back! Then we were contacting this one house and the guy saw us and was like pasen chicos. So there we are teaching this dude. It is funny how people will just let us into their house without actually knowing who we are. Well the days just kind of mix together now so I am going to just give a good summary lol. We taught Fauneath and she has the cutest do...

Wow only 5 months in and I am already bad at writing everyday lol. But here we go for the whole week. And man was it all over the place. First ran on Monday which was super dope! Ran a good 4 miles felt so fetching good  - the reason for why I used fetch will come later in the letter.  After that we had intercambios and I got to go to Choele! Tuesday was so fun! Got up and ran again. Back and forth on the dirt road again. After that got to visit everyone. Rocio, Gustavo and Teresa! Teresa almost cried and then we shared a scripture with them and bam we gone. After that there is literally no one in Choele because we are in the epoca of vacaciones. (middle of vacations). So we tried to contact and there was no one. Luckily Mierta was home and we shared lesson 3 with her. Then had lunch with Familia Vallejos. Then had an awesome lesson about temples with Mika. What was awesome was we prepared a lesson and when we walked in she was already studying that exact subject! I love shari...

PDAY!!!! YES! We went for a run which was awesome! Ran to the Lamarque sign and supposedly Lamarque has really good tomatoes. Then a dinosaur statue también. After that we did some good ol cleaning and STUDYING. When we went to Choele we didn{t have enough money so the other elders had to hide some money underneath a rock for us. Talked with my family which is always the best! And took a well needed nap. Then our district meeting!! It was so good! We talked about how we can bring the spirit more into lessons and contacts. The spirit was so strong I just felt like everything was clicking for the district. Then I{ve really started to take the lead on contacts and lessons. Super fun actually! Castellano rules! New Year{s Eve! There was no one in the streets so a lot of contacting but we just keep on grinding. Then we had a lesson with Estefania and we made a plan to help her quit smoking! Then Familia Lopez invited us over New Year{s so we got to some Asado and hang with them for awhile! ...
