Feliz año amigazos

 Hey howdy hey everybody! Happy 2021. It's flip flapping amazing. Hope everyone had a hopping week. I will stop talking like this and get down to writing. 

We had a couple of exchanges this week, I got to hang out with the other Elders in my apartment for the day. IT WAS A SPANISH AREA! I WENT HAM!! It's been too long since being in a Spanish area. Had to warm up la lengua un poco. I love Elder Wright and Elder Gadd! 

We set our friend Simon back on date!! We gave him a baptismal calendar and he's actually really excited! WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Our friend George needs a lot of prayers! He wants to be baptized and wants to stop drinking and smoking, so prayers for George please! 

New years eve, we got to hang out with our district and the Goodriches! They're the best, and made some DELICIOUS PRIME RIB!! HOT DIGGITY DOG!! I love the goodrich family so much!

New years day wasn't super busy, but we had a lesson with the famous Mark Mellay. And afterwards he invited us to a NA meeting in the future, so we might get to go to that! 

Went on exchange in the famous Dade City! And WE GOT GATOR DOGS!! Definitely an experience that I will never be able to describe, so yeah, there's that for yeah!

We were blessed with a member referral on Sunday after fasting! We went over to the Doomson's home and the father goes, there's someone we want you to meet, so we're going to teach their friend Robert.

This week, the scripture John 6:67-69. Christ asks the disciples if they're going to leave, because he is not going to provide their worldly desires, and Peter responds, "Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life" 

I know, just as Peter does, that Christ, through the restored Gospel, is the only name under which mankind can be saved. He has the words of eternal life, and has given us each step. Life is hard, but the Gospel is not. I invite each of you, in this year of 2021, to find ways to come unto Christ. Whether it be doing a deeper study of the scriptures or learning to pray, it does not matter where you are. Christ wants you to take a step forward. He can tell you do it, because he's done it himself! I know the Lord loves each of you and can promise that your life will change for the better if you change for Christ this year of 2021!

Ama a toda persona y a toda cosa

-Elder Bennett <3

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...
