Bye step-dad, and hello there my friendly sheep!

Well, we open the week, by playing paddle ball (a beautiful combination of pickle ball and tennis) o glorious game. Afterwards me and Moody were ready to leave, but Garcia and Vivanco made us stay and play another hour of soccer tennis. Moody finally yelled "TENGO MUCHO HAMBRE"lol. Had our transfer interviews with the Prez. He shared DC 24:15, and DC 84:85! I memorized DC 84:85 :) and have faith in Christ, and the words and strength you need will be provided to you!
Well, INTERCAMBIO DAY!!! Brought to you by District leader Elder Wright. Wright is a freaking capo missionary. He definitely showed me how to care for a person more than chuck a lesson in their face, and helped me A TON with spanish!! Bought me an alfahor, told my first kiss story (man, I'm such an awkward human) and ordered pizzas. Twas one heck of a good day. I was a good luck charm because we got into a bunch of houses that he and Rose had never gotten into, classic me.

Wednesday, we were going to give a tour of the chapel, so we ran to the other Elders pench for keys, ran back to the house in the nether regions of our area, and Viviana had left. We did talk to her and her family later in the day though! I experienced my first TORMENTA BLANCA (white storm) where our zone went into one area, and just found a butt ton of new and future investigators! Twas fun (Garcia definitely is not a fan of them) and then talked to a less active member that had lived in Utah, and worked in Sandy for 2 years, so that was wild. Memorized DC 84:85 in espanol and DC 24:15 in english to make up for Tuesday.

Life tis good! Beast lesson with Paula, she gave us crackers, what a gal! Ate lunch in da streets, a classic, and went ham on contacting. Had a lesson with Josefina, and she wants to go to church :), yassssss! Pretty much had a photo shoot with the best fam. The little girl Brisa, reminds me of Stella. Pretty sure they would be best friends. Also fellas, I had good flan, so maybe I'm going to have a change of heart ;) Memorized Mosiah 16:9, good stuff there.

Friday, Garcia slept in until 11:00 (said he was feeling sick) so I planned the day, and got stuff all good to go. Luckily we did go to work on time after lunch. Visited a member, Neli, who no one knew existed, was a reference from a contact in the bus. She can't go to church because of age, and health, so we're gonna help her out! Had a fantabulous noche de Hogar with a less active family, F. Ruiz. They're going to church on Sunday :) and Memorized DC 4:2, Consecrate yourself before the lord, with your strength and will! (I also took pictures with sheep, or tried to, hehe)

So, Saturday twas good for finding nuevos. We did run into a man named Pedro. Very interesting, but saw the picture of baptism, and wanted to be baptized, and we went a took of tour of the chapel with him. It all just happened so fast (hopefully he remembers where the church is). After that, lots of lessons. Saw Paula, and she tried to hide her cigarette from us, she felt so bad :(. But tis all good, we cranked out the day. Memorized Galatians 6:2 (short, sweet, and I'm only a little tired tonight ;)

So, unfortunately, Sunday twas sad. We knocked doors of investigators before church, and literally no one was awake, and today is Elder Wright's last day :(. BUT TODAY WAS THE PRIMARY PROGRAM!!! Man, kids are the best (lol, I'm only 18) but they are the sweetest people. The family with Cristian, Brisa, flipping love me. They're my favorite. Cristian was sneaking me snacks the whole time after church from the primary room. Had a photoshoot with my step-dad, Elder Wright, and Hermana Capece made a huge Cake for his goodbye, that all the elders had for lunch! I told Garcia that this next transfer he's not allowed to die on me, so we are gonna go HAM!!! Memorized Ephesians 6:11, PUT ON THE ARMOUR OF GOD! (fellas, guess what, I survived a transfer. Also the ward gave me a little souveneir from the primary program, so that's a plus) 

AMEN TODAS LAS COSAS Y TODAS LAS PERSONAS!!

-From your friendly, Argentine missionary, Elder Bennett <3

Se explotó la carpeta de area.  HAD INTERVIEWS WITH PRESIDENT!!!! Haven't had that happen since I got here, so it was good to talk to him.

HOPPY PASCUAS A TODOS QUE LEEN ESTA CARTA Y LOS DEMAS!!! ESPERO QUE DISFRTUARAN SU FIN DE SEMANA CON LOS PROFETAS Y APOSTOLES!!!!! This week was definitely was an interesting one, where do I start We had interviews this week, but my companion and I didn't get them, because we had to go to Glew for a stake meeting, and the Elders before us went too long. So instead we did some roleplays of the restoration of the gospel, and then the assistants drove us to Glew, where we listened to a big ol stake meeting. We then spent the night with the Glew Elders, ELDER SOSA Y ELDER BLACKHAM!!!!  We had our first english class this week, so that was exciting. I got to teach english to all the people in my district, so that's an exciting time. Let me tell ya, I do not know how to teach english. I'll do my best. Some latinos already speak a lot and others don't know a single word, so you make due. Everyone is ready to learn though! We met our friend Juan Diaz this week. He's absolut...

Hope that caught everyone's attention, but this week was absolutely awesome!  We had some awesome lessons with our friends Tin and Ani! We put both of them on date, and both are loving the book of mormon and got permission from their parents, MIRACLES!!!! AND BOTH OF THEM CAME TO CHURCH, YEEEEEEHAAAAAWWW!!! We had zone conference, and it was powerful! Elder Thacker and I gave a training on being a 'Preach My Gospel' missionary. I loved it! Then President spoke all about the atonement, because that is our central doctrine. EVERYTHING revolves around the atonement, without it, we are lost in our fallen and mortal state.  WE HAD AN AWESOME LESSON WITH ERIC!! IT'S BEEN FOREVER, BUT BISHOP PATEL JOINED IN AND IT WAS POWERFUL. We talked about how sometimes, God only gives us what we need at the moment, and not everything can or wil...
