Tampa week 3 baby

Well everyone, another week, another week, wow, I am so funny.

But we had an interesting week, definitely felt like there was no time this week, but what can ya do

I had a bunch of exchanges with the Tampa Spanish while my companion helped edit their video at the mission offices. That was a wild time, and everyone, guess what. If you've seen Icarly, you'll be happy, because, I ATE SPAGHETTI TACOS!!! YEET, DAB, WHIP, NAE NAE!!!! It happened, what a time, but I had some woman scream at me over the phone in spanish, lol

But some miracles this week! We met a woman, named Martha Cain, who is 80 years old, and wanted to be baptized 30 years ago! But her husband passed away and she lost contact with the missionaries:( but she was beyond excited to hear us, and to hear she can still be baptized, plus, she do the temple work for her husband!!! (She's 80, so we have to wait until it's safe for her to leave her home, but she's still excited!!!) We also got in contact with a member whose wife is not a member! And he bared his testimony on the book of mormon and how he's preparing to go through the temple! WHAT A GUY!! 

Elder Memmott and I have actually had a lot of success teaching, and setting up lessons with members! The ward is supportive and wants to be involved but it's hard since Florida is EXPLODING in covid cases right now, so we'll see if they keep trying to open things back up.

(Guys, I taught a spanish class, and acted out a skit in a store, y'all should go watch it! And we have a cute lil video for our english Facebook page that me and my comp made on family history. Go follow "Finding Jesus Christ in Tampa" and share the video:) and go watch my great teaching skills on "La iglesia de jesucristo en Tampa)

I love missionary work, no matter what form, because the joy you can bring people who are looking, is greater than any person can imagine!

This week, I wanted to focus on a quote by Russel M Nelson "Giving help to others, making a conscientious effort to care about others as much or more than we care about ourselves, is our joy"

Lose yourself in your love for others! Pray for chances to help someone else, to touch the day or life of someone else! I promise as we seek to do good at all times, God will direct our paths Proverbs 3:5! There is no greater joy than giving ourselves up to our Heavenly mother and father and letting them make more of us than we ever thought possible!

-Amen a todas las personas y a todas las cosas

-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...

 TAMPA BUCS FOR THE W!! ROAD TO SUPER BOWL LV!!! EVERYONE CHEER FOR THE BUCS BECAUSE I AM CURRENTLY LIVING 15 MINUTES FROM STADIUM, WOOOOOOOOO!!!! 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...
