Yo soy argentino

This was a way fun week! 

Went to the zoo last week!! So that's a partay and a half! 

This week we had service every morning pretty much! 

Our friend Tin did a fast with us, and it strengthened his testimony so much, but his parents got anti material and said no :(. So he wasn't baptized this Saturday, but we got his email and no matter what happens, we'll keep him going until he's 18. 

We cleaned up Sis Denison's yard again! She's so funny, what a sweet old lady!

We helped weed the Chase's yard (the mahanas bought us Tampa bay Buccaneers pullovers) and they were super sweet! Then bought a giant wawa soda!!! Yeeeehaaaawww!! 

We went to to the food pantry! Last time I'll be there :( (Explained later) 

We had a social media exchange and we just did online proselytizing for 30 minutes. I am not good at it at all! 

We had dinner with the Mahanas! THEY COOKED US BANANA BARS!! AND LOADED NACHOS!!! THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY SO AMAZING!! IT MADE ME SO HAPPY!!! 

Well, here's the big news. I'm going to Argentina on the 4th! THIS THURSDAY EVERYONE!!! IT BLOWS MY MIND!!! OHMYHECK!!

It makes me think of the talk "called to serve" by Elder Bednar. He says that we are primarily called to serve as disciples of Jesus Christ. We are assigned to labor in a place. God very much cares where you are but first cares about who you are. He cares about your desire to serve the people and to dedicate your whole heart to the work and be perfected through the Atonement of Jesus Christ! Remember that God loves you, and no matter where you are, you have been called to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, and he will magnify you as you let him do so!

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!

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...
