I AM SO SUNBURNED. Of course a Bennett would start their email like that. But that's what happens when you play soccer for 3 hours! Despues we had lunch from food trucks! Best smoothie I have ever had (coconut, strawberry, and pineapple, fresh fruit baby) Went ham after p'day at night! And we baked cookies for our investigators! Memorized DC 1:37 in ingles! LA OBRA MISIONAL ES LA VIDA POR MI!!!! Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!! This is party day in Argentina. Had zone conference, I got everyone laughing with my acting skills (I was a screaming baby) and passed out our cookies to our investigators and did a secret santa for Graciela. Dropped a bunch of food and toys off in front of her house, clapped, and ran. Had dinner with Familia Maldonaldo!! Capos, huge dinner, and we got back to the pench at 12:30 Well, woke up at 10 on christmas, I felt like garbage, and we didn´t have to leave until 3 (everyone was drunk or sleeping so yeah= CHRISTMAS MIRACLE, IT WASN´T HOT AND IT RAINED!!

 Well, we on to the next transfer. Guys, I TOOK A NAP!!! That was such a good feeling. Then Elder Allen got here. A beast from Heber City, Utah! He has just over 9 months in the mission! Went ham after Cyber and found some good ol nuevos! We going good fellas. DC 1:32 in espanol to start the week! First full day of working with Allen! And you know, it´s a lot of fun working with someone who WANTS to be here! We cranked out the day, some beast lessons, and he told me some wild stories from his areas. Just felt like a fun day! Memorized John 17:3 in ingles :) Well, some dude gave me eggs for preaching the gospel to him, I love Argentina! A dog followed us for 5 blocks, I named him Tom (yes, I am very white) and had an AMAZING LESSON WITH GRACIELA! She truly feels the spirit in her life when she reads and prays (everyone pray for her!) She deserves everything, but has so little, I feel so bad :((I´m gonna do my best to help her in everyway) Had choir practice for the ward, lol. Memori...

WE BACK AT IT AGAIN!! Well, this rubio balled up in basketball for 2 hours (in 95 degrees heat, definitely a weird december) had a great hamburger, where the workers thought we robbed them. Explained that we didn't for a while. Went down to Rayo de Sol, and 3 kids really want to get baptized, so we're working with the fam. Fautisina es una capa!! After her trip to paraguay, she wants to get baptized. Memorized 1 nephi 4:6, sometimes we can't always see the next step, but you can take one step forward with the help of the spirit! Well, Tuesday, we taught one lesson in the morning, and then we went to Ezeiza. Visited members and converts of Garcia when he was there. I kind of want to go there in the future. The people want me to at least, lol. Garcia has never walked so fast in his life, ohmyheck. One of his converts had the missionaries at their house when we got there, so we sat in to listen. That, was quite possibly the most boring lesson I've heard, and I felt bad bec...

HAD A MANTECOL BAR (this is for Brandon) and memorized DC 19:23 in espanol =) Life tis good fellas. Found a beast family of 6! Played soccer in the park while contacting (they all called me messi, hehe) twas so fun! Garcia had me say a prayer in english for a family, that was quite possibly the most awkward prayer I have ever given, I have straight up forgotten how to pray in english. Graciella has stopped smoking!! Saw a DOUBLE RAINBOW ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE SKY, OH MY GOODNESS, BEAUTIFUL (I didn't have my camera conmigo, sad day) and memorized Helaman 14:...

I just wanna say, I apologize for the inconvenience of not having an email. Technical difficulties with slow technology. BUT I RAN EVERYONE!! I RAN 4 MILES, AND I WAS SO HAPPY!!! Love it, and in the rain! Had some grido, called the fam and went to work. Found a way cool fam! And they really want to go to church (they're just not married, hmmm...) tis all good. The mom, Alejandra, really just wants a more united family! They're the best! Memorized 3rd Nephi 9:18!! GRIND NEVER STOPS, AS SAMMY WOULD SAY  ̈WAG!¨ INTERCAMBIO DAY!! With Elder Brereton, in Numancia. He's definitely an interesting dude, but we talked a lot about spongebob, and pentatonix. Spent ten minutes while a girl tried to guess where we were from (she didn't know what the US was) and a new investigator gave us crackers and matte. I TRIED MATE FOR THE FIRST TIME! We sipped outside of the pench, and talked about life. Twas hecking fun. Well, we spent some time in Ciber, while Garcia ordered a scriptu...

Met Matias Moya, who wants his kid to be baptized (he can't, because his wife doesn't want to get officially married) and ran into Graciella. She was crying because her family was struggling. So we went back to our pench, brought oranges, eggs, fre...
