I love you all, I promise, but when a comp goes home, he does anything but write and call his family

 (I'M SORRY I HAVEN'T WRITTEN ANYONE)

Well everyone, I did it, I survived a full week back in Argentina. Twas a good ol time, twas a good ol handy dandy time. 

-We had a JAS (YSA) activity. That was super fun, and there's quite a few JAS in the 2 wards that come to this building

-I got to meet a lot of the recent converts here in the ward! All of them are awesome and they absolutely adore the missionaries!! 

-We set our friend Humber on date (turns out he lives in my first area, LONGCHAMPS!! so we passed him off to them) 

-Wednesday morning we were told that we had liderazgo (MLC) that night, so that was interesting. Definitely a switch from Florida knowing 3 weeks ahead of time. 

-I met a sweet Haitian family that I contacted in the street. They were awesome, and I wish I had picked up more French from the Patricks in South Tampa

-We met our friend Esteban that reached out to the page! He wants his wife to be baptized and he's not opposed to being baptized again (we'll explain the restoration fellas, don't even stress)

The large majority of the work here is through facebook, so I get to contact people while I'm in the bus or from cita to cita. Definitely went by pretty fast and I hit my 18 month mark. Man, I'm fetching old in the mission. What on earth happened!

I GOT TO WATCH CREW'S (THE MAHANA FAMILY) BAPTISM!!! AND LET ME TELL YA, I HAVE NEVER WALKED FASTER IN MY LIFE (we were about 40 blocks away from the chapel, so I got my hips moving and grooving) 

-This week, I have no time! But I love you all, and God does as well. Like the flower "forgetmenot" in Dieter f. Uchtdorf's talk, we are never forgotten and all have our qualities and talents that will lead us to help others

-AMA a toda persona y a toda cosa

-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! HE'S SUCH A BEAST!!!! We went and visited some people he had taught in the area, and blew up every colectivo that we went in.  On monday, DISTRICT ACTIVITY!!!

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...
