I'm bad at counting weeks

No transfers news for the trio of South tampa so we have another transfer to GRIND!! LET'S GOOOOOOOO!! ALSO, PLAYED SOME AWESOME HEAD PONG, I need to practice soccer, and that's what I did!

Tuesday, we got... 2 NEW ELDERS (just housing them) wished they had stayed, they were awesome! It was Elder Faletoi and Elder Jeppson! And for all you Jordan kids out there, yes, it was the son of Brother Jeppson, our seminary prez! Both were serving in the phillipines, and Elder Faletoi said he knew Graden from his mission!! (Elder Reber, you're famous) And then Abby Gardner from Jordan showed up in our mission, WHAT IS HAPPENING IN TAMPA FLORIDA!!

Well, day 2 of Faletoi and Jepson!! Reno and David.. WANT TO BE BAPTIZED, we unfortunately have 2 problems with that.. Reno is in Alabama, waiting for his doctors to tell him to come to Florida, and David is 70, so the virus is saying no, but WOOOOOO, I LOVE THOSE 2!!! We never stop here!!

Thursday, just a grind on the cell phone, but those days happen, KEEP GOING!! Man, I really like to capitalize my words, hope everyone feels my UNENDING EXCITEMENT, YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!

Friday, hmmmmm, well, Sister Cruz (an awesome member from the Dominican Republic, I have my in with all the Spanish members) introduced us to her niece, Sidney, who wants to talk to the missionaries, while she's here in Tampa!! Also, we met, good ol Kapil, and I learned A TON about Hinduism, actually a super cool religion, I love learning about other backgrounds! Also, Sister Cruz, bought us pizzas from Doormét, OHMYHECK, they were amazing!

The weekend was good and fun, we were all tired (our wifi doesn't work in the South Tampa ward, so we're doing a butt ton of driving to do our zoom calls, but not gonna lie, just glad we have wifi, good times) but Sunday, we got 4 people to virtual church and found out that Florida might go to online sacrament meeting, a short, weekly service, everyone is pretty tired of Covid here, so that's always fun!

This week, was full of good studies! In Romans, (Romans 3:23) we read that we all sin, we have to accept that, and understand that we will unfortunately fall short in this life, but that doesn't mean we cannot have faith, but rather that we must act, and move forward (James 2:17-26). Christ has shown his infinite love by giving us the chance to live with our heavenly father again! As we learn more, we seek more, and the cycle continues, as we grow and progress on this earth (DC 50:24), but we have to realize that there is a God, because all things denote there is a God (Alma 30:44) and if there is a God, then allowing ourselves to be changed by him, through his gospel, is the greatest thing we can do, because our Heavenly Parents can see our infinite worth and potential (Alma 31:5) You are loved! Know that and express that love to others, be outward in your expression of it (Everyone go read or listen to 'Character of Christ' by David A. Bednar)

-Amen a todas las personas y a todas las cosas

-Elder Bennett (our trio name is the Hugemmetts, great name right?)

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.

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...
