My weakness is sweatshirts, why am I so cheap

 Well everyone, I did it, I dropped a lot of money on.... wait for it... SWEARSHIRTS AND I'M LIVING IN FLORIDA, WHO AM I, OHMYHECK!!!!! 

The fruit market lady said hi and was happy to see me back (we are officially regulars there, friends with all the workers, lol) 

The Guerreros bought us THE BIGGEST PIZZA, IT MADE COSTCO PIZZA LOOK SMALL (Also, I am a fan of giant Costco pizza slices, don't get me wrong) 

This week, we tried to do a ton of service, which worked out really well! We washed out a members cabinet with white vinegar to get the smoke smell out of it (that was not the service opportunity I thought I would get, but I loved it) and then his roommate walked up to us, and said he was the chosen one (in terms of being a gypsy) and blessed us with prosperous lives, he also plans on giving us free money after he dies, so my future plans are SET! (Except, he's actually a super good guy, just not a great plan, but what can ya do)

We had exchange with Elder Wright! That was awesome, we went to the Spanish Area (Elder Hughes and I) and I love Spanish! All the members and people laugh at me, because of how much I've grown to love the Argentine people and their accent and culture (except it says in Chapter 7 of preach my gospel that the best way to show your love and trust for those you teach and are around, is to embrace their culture, I LOVE ARGENTINA, CHEEEEEEEEEE) 

I WENT RUNNING, 3 TIMES THIS WEEK, LOOK AT ME, I AM SO OUT OF SHAPE, BUT I LOVE IT, IT'S SO FUN, AND MAKES EVERYTHING AMAZING AND SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS (that's kinda an exaggeration, but mostly, I love running)

We had some service with the Bishop's family, and the mom told me that she had Facebook stalked me, I'm famous, yaaaasss!! 

Also, everyone please pray for our friend David, he's going through A LOT, right now, with his family, losses and just not great situations, it's just not great, so please pray for him with all your heart and soul!

Had Service with Sister Gibbons, and she gave us TRADER JOES SNACKS (Hey dad, there were pretzel crisps, lol) and I LOVE TRADER JOES!!! 

Also, everyone, tune in to our bi-weekly podcast known as finding the fold on our facebook page. We're getting that up and running soon (the missionaries aren't in it, we just direct it, and the members run and produce it now, it's going to be AWESOME)

This week, I really was thinking about Family history! The importance of being connected to those around you, to those you love, even if they already passed away! God wants us to be connected to all family, even those who have moved on to the spirit world!

I have a challenge for all of you! Learn one new thing about your parents, and then your grandparents and then your great grandparents! There's always something new to learn and something new to apply in your own life!!

Love you all

-Amen a toda persona y a toda cosa

-Elder Bennett (con todo el amor que hay en el mundo)

LAS FOTOS DE ESTA SEMANA:

1) The trio elf gang

2) This is a time of innovation (it was for our terere)

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...

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...
