Elder Samuel Bennett

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 an...

Last Christmas I gave you my heart and the very next day you gave it away. This year to save me from tears I'll give it to someone special!

And had service again! I love the Good Neighbor House it is just so fun to so service! And we cleared people's windows one morning which was fun! and the town center has christmas trees that are synchronized with christmas music! It was so cool! This week was solid! We get to go to the house of the Family Castillo everyday! And we had a member visit with Presdient and sister Grajeda and they are just Studs! Everything they said was exactly what the family needed to hear!

We also had another lesson with Juan Robert! Now he is a stud he has some questions but the Book of Mormon is it! The lessons with him you can tell he feels the spirit! He h...

Well this week was pretty good. We had a mission wide zoom conference with Sister and Elder Funk which was super cool. The last day we talked about the talk letting God Prevail in our life which was awesome! One of the footnotes talks about the Abrahamic test meaning to let him truly prevail may not at all times seem the easiest but it truly brings the greatest blessings.  Also had some awesome lessons with Antonia y Ester this week and they are so ready and now the whole family is getting ready to be baptized! And the Juan Robert! This guy is awesome! Teaching him the Book of Mormon has shown me how truly important it is because it guides us through a somewhat confusing world!
