Elder Jeddy Bennett

We begin the end of october, with the scene opening up on a rubio, balling out in soccer in the rain. Life is good in the hood, and we taught Viviana today, and have a cita with Paula later this week! I love talking and teaching kids, they're the best! And at ciber, OUR AREA HAD 5 NEW REFERENCES! We gonna work a ton this week, I'm pumped. 3 nephi 11:33 for ya fellas :) So, for district meeting, we straight up just did 2 gritos on the train! I love gritos, they're so much fun! Afterwards, I got to go on an inter-cambio with Elder Rose. Definitely the most fun I've had on my mission, exploring his area, and he bought me 2 alfahors and a lot of empanadas! Didn't have time to get to the scripture that night though, but I'll keep the grind. All the stomachs of the longchamp elders have been attacked. I recoverd quickly, I can't say the same of the other 3. FLORENCIA WANTS TO BE BAPTIZED! WOOOOOO! Found Julieta again, and she still wants to talk to us, so l...

Picture this, the scene opens, with the 3rd week of Argentina. You see a rubio boy balling up with the natives of Argentina. And then, going to a hecking expensive “all you can eat buffet”.  I like that, so it happened. I felt so fat and happy after that meal. Also, everyone, GO READ THE TALK THE 4TH MISSIONARY!!! IT'S AMAZING! If you're willing to surrender your will to God, you can reach your divine potential! Also, I would just like to say, Mom, thank you for all those costco trips, because I truly know how to shop for food, for long periods of time because of that, and the costco pizza was good, so thanks for that. Memorized Matthew 5:48 in Espanol, twas a good p-day :) Well guess what fellas, FLORENCIA WAS HOME!! She needed help filling bottles with cleaning supplies so she could sell them (it's a great depression here fellas, money is hard) so we hopped right to it. She totally opened up after that! She's super capo! Afterwards we taught Alejandro and Luc...

Well, my first p-day in the field was a wild ride. Played soccer with my district, and I balled up on these boys. My companion is way good at soccer! Afterwards, we were in the cyber cafe for so long, we almost didn't have enough pesos to pay for it, lol. I have never poured my soul out to God like I did today. I know he knows us, and loves us. He has mercy on those who truly repent, and show that! Turn to God for help. He knows us better than we know ourselves! I know he will help me, and he can help all of you! I memorized Alma 9:27 tonight :) So Tuesday was amazing! Had our district meeting, got an alfajore, and then we went to work. We had no citas (appointments) so it was walking, and finding. And we had a ton of success today! It's so fun to talk to people, even in my crappy Spanish. And I love putting a smile on people's faces with my random dancing in the streets! As it says in Alma 27:18 (scripture I memorized) this truly is the gospel and work that will b...

Well, it begins fellas. Said bye to Sam, and that was a rough time, gotta say. But we got on our flights, and took off. Also, gotta say, the airplane food, was the first good meal I had had in 6 weeks. Memorized Alma 11:39 on the way to Peru, and from Peru to Argentina, I slept the whole way.  Then it started to get real. Said bye to the hermanas from our district, Blatter and Cottrell, in the airport. But then gave the biggest hug to ZIGGY!!! Good to see a familiar face. I love the president, and my companion is Elder Garcia, from Peru. I'm his last transfer so I have to make it good! My spanish ain't half bad, and he's a zone leader. So I have to learn the area fast, so I can do comp exchanges right away. Beyond excited for the challenge. Memorized 3rd Nephi 12:16, be a light for everyone!!!  So, first day in the campo ladies and gentlemen... I LOVE IT!! Elder Moody is in my zone! My pension is nice (I got lucky with that one) and my trainer is absolutely amazing...
