Good Ol Pontevedra, Elder Diaz y Bacon

 Welp, transfers ladies and gents. Me and Rose took off at 6:30 after waking up at 4:50. I'm now in Pontevedra B with Elder Diaz from Peru. Super funny, and danced before his mission. He goes ham, he showed me some of his videos. And he says he's going to teach me to do the splits, so we'll see. Memorized Alma 34:41 in english and Spanish. Started the week off strong. GRIND DON'T STOP!!!!

Well, there's a bunch of dudes I know in my zone, and it's flipping giant. Today was getting to know the area. Met Ximena, and watched the first vision video with her. If you have time to watch it, would definitely recommend. Met Rosa, she's going to get baptized this Saturday. SHE IS FLIPPING BEAST!! Pontevedra is full of Capos, so we{re gonna grind everyday. Still talking to everyone :) Matthew 18:20 (Christ is with us, as we share his love with others)

Welp, we here in Pontevedra. Met some good ol members, and learned, holy crap, I'm going to get fat in this area. Lunch, some woman gave us a butt ton of cake when we were teaching her, and this ward gives us dinner. But, always talking. Serve God, with friends, family, and all around you. Mateo 18:20 in espanol. He is there in the middle of those gathered in his name!!

Thursday, not much happened, still trying to get to know this area. I{m still grinding on the contacts, highlight, I SPENT THE NIGHT IN THE OFFICES. Me and Elder Blackham have tranmites on Friday, but the offices is about a 3 hour trip, so we spent the night. Hung out with the oficinistas, and ate empanadas. That house is a party

FRIDAY, TRANMITES. But, the day everyone has been waiting for... I WENT ON A RUN WITH ZIGGY (ELDER CHENEY) OHMYHECK, IT WAS AMAZING. Had tramites, did some contacts in the building. Me and Blackham were getting back late, so we ate lunch in Capital (to get to the offices, we take a train to capital and then a bus to our area) and had... MCDONALDS!! Never thought I would miss that restaurant. We then had 2 contacts in Capital (Mision Buenos Aires Norte) and dimos dos libros de mormon! At night, Elder Gage came and did baptismal interviews for Rosa and Avel!! Memorized Moroni 8:18 in english and espanol!

Welp, practiced a musical number that we're performing next week (the 4 elders) that's gonna be fun. Taught Susana and Alva. THEY TOLD US THEY'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR SOMEONE TO GUIDE THEM TO THE CHURCH OF GOD! Prayers are answered, and it's flipping cool to be an Instrument in the hand of God (alma 17:11) and memorized Alma 18:34-35!

Welp, ended the week with... THE BAPTISMS OF ROSA AND AVEL!!! Freaking capos. I baptized Avel and Elder Gage (my zone leader) baptized Rosa (he was in this area for 7.5 months and is the one who first met Rosa). Rosa gave us lunch after, and thought I was gonna explode. WENT HAM IN PLANNING, BRING IT ON PONTEVEDRA B, ELDER BENNETT IS COMING!!! Alma 18:34-35 in espanol. I have been called by the spirit of God to teach that which is just and true 

-AMEN A TODAS LAS PERSONAS Y TODAS LAS COSAS

-Coming at ya from Pontevedra B, Elder Bennett

Sorry everyone, last preparation day was interesting, so didn't have much time to do anything, lol, but life is good in Argentina ladies and gentlefolks I got to do a baptismal interview of Elizabeth leteno, from laferrere. That was humbling and powerful, to see the hope that the gospel has brought to her life, and I got to go to her baptism and help the Lafe Elderes!  We had a good ol tormenta blanca en nuestro area. 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. He was super rushed, so we didnt get a ton of time to talk, but a SPIRITUAL GIANT Presidente Fernandez THEN WE GOT TO DO AN INTERCAMBIO WITH MY HERO ELDER THOMAS!!! I FETCHING LOVE 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...
