Elder Samuel Bennett

  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...
