November 14, 2013 my elder will return!


Mom, 

hahaha its good to have boys on all sides of the world. i think i might go to europe also for a little bit to make friends there also that way i can have eyes on most of the planet! i thought that was funny what riley and dakota did at efy haha! thats my boys!

     whatever day his call comes i still wont find out until next monday. blessings from the mish!

  ya im still zl with elder denna. its cool. me and elder dennas will be friends eternally. he just has some beliefs that i dont agree with, ya know he just sees the way in a different way then me. he sees byu idaho and i see byu provo. mom are you friends with his mom? tell her i said that i dont like her son.

    the picture from last week only one person there was a member, every single one of those people wants to be baptized but they live 2 buses and 2 1/2 hours away from the nearest church in another city, one of there freinds/ relatives is serving a mission and passed the reference to our mission and seeing as how our mission doesnt have any couple missionaries theres no way to open the church up there. yish, theres at least 100 baptisms within a years work there. the church will probably show up there in about 5 to 8 years. remember that older couples, when youre holding your granbabies in your arms theres people in other parts of the world that want to go to heaven but cant because youre sittin at home holdin your granbabies.

     elder kellog got home?! that makes me next to go home. im daddy elder now?! ooo myyy gosh...

           this transfer the secretaries will call me to ask what airport i want to land in on november 14th of 2013, which is this year, stop smiling mom, im gonna get off in the fresno airport or is there one that gets me off closer to the temple? (temple marriage joke, anybody?... anybody? ;D)

   ya ive met the genaros, i think sister genaro is a 16 year old girl sometimes cause she so spunky. there a lot different then the tavares, not even close to the same actually. not better or worse, just different. the work still remains!

    im gonna send some pics to show how the week was, dont have much to say for this week except the 2013 efy soundtrack that i got off the church site and baptisms! now that i think of it we baptized these two on wednesday actually, what a coincidence. these two little brothers that we baptized just might be the firmest baptisms that ill have on the mission. here in 7 to 8 years i wanna see them on missions. these are some special boys, and the branch already loves them a lot! hey mom can you send me a picture of a rose growing out of the concrete, dont ask why, just get me a photo of this please. :D the other day we were teaching a recent convert and his friend about prayer and fernando that one kid we baptized super crazily, said ya every night i thank God for my life and God always responds to me, " your welcome :D" i was dying of laughter. its nice when you these people become your best friends! im going to eat two subway footlongs for lunch this week, ya im a hungry boy. love you mom and cambria. - Elder Bennett



Dad,

ya the church basically only grows off of the sacrifice of the members, whether it be an hour with the missionaries one week to teach someone or a couple giving up six months so that the church can extend to a city its never been to, all depends on the humility of the members giving up there time that was actually already given to them by God and just returning a little portion of it. the church is only as strong as its members.

  thanks for the words of encouragement! its wierd thinking that im already coming to the end. i cant believe it. its driving me insane. you have that feeling inside of you sometimes like you need to give even more, do a little more, be a little better, baptize a little more. its something that drives every missionary insane. ive got to give a little more and be a little better! theres many more people to baptize in the next 4 1/2 months! love ya dad!
