Week 19 in Tampa (#1 in Carrollwood)

Well, this week was a blur. There's so many new things I've learned this week, pretty sure I'm back in my training, my eyeballs are real tired, but GRIND LIFE, YEEHAW!!!!!!

Elder Memmott's last p-day definitely wasn't the most exciting one, but we had to get everything organized, and I was packing the whole time (we love transfers). I had to say bye to the Guerrero family :(, but it's all good, they wished me luck in Carrollwood!

CARROLLWOOD IS AWESOME!! Elder Jacobs and Elder Thacker are HILARIOUS!! They have so much energy, I wasn't used to not being the most energetic one. Don't worry fellas, I'm rolling back in, this blazing ball of fire isn't slowing down (that was something, that yes, I decided to type, so I hope you read that and enjoyed it)

This week was one of the slower ones, as we were trying to get everything situated with all of the changes in the zone, but I got to meet Laura! She's awesome and wants to be baptized! Right now we have a date for Oct 17! Everyone pray for her, she's absolutely amazing!! 

Highlight of the week was definitely general conference! (as everyone as said, email-ception) We found a projector and we had a ton of Elders all together watching! CONFERENCE WATCH PARTY (Baked some hecking good peanut butter cookies) 

-I don't have my notes on me (lucky all of you, or else this would be a couple of pages) but Russel M Nelson saying we need to let God prevail in our life. Have you allowed God into your life? Do you have the faith to turn yourself over to him? Will you trust in him, even during the most trying of circumstances? We must let God prevail in our life! As we do so, temptations have less power, we experience growth during the hardest parts of our lives and our spiritual capacity to receive revelation grows exponentially! 

GOD LOVES YOU AND KNOWS YOU BY NAME!

-Amen a toda persona y a toda cosa

-Elder Bennett <3

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...
