The Church is My Life!!!

Mom,

bass lake is such a blessing in my life. my goal is to one day buy that cabin so we can go up whenever we want during the summer, probably wont happen though. im suprised at how not sad or missing pres. tavares i am, he served his 3 years and hes on to living the rest of his life.  i dont know pres. genaro yet but ill meet him tomorrow, were gonna have that training thing in londrina tomorrow. he showed up last night and already has meeting with the leaders, his life for the next 3 years will be nothing but go go go and serve serve serve! i saw that riley is getting to be a strong young pup, tell him my kids will be stronger then his and let him know the rule still stands, older brother always wins in the end.

    i hated clovis north, buchanan is better. to bad i played for the wrong school.

   transfers are next week, so next week i could be emailing you to tell you im staying in apucarana. anything could happen though. ya e. denna is cool but most of the time we have too much fun.

         my wife will be pregnant next bass lake trip.

  wherever dakota goes hell be awesome!!!

 i finally had the chance to see the conference on sunday. best thing eveeeerrrr!!! i found myself crying multiple times from the great stories of missionary work but i didnt let anyone see cause when the lone wolf cries he cries a lone. hence the name. i decided im gonna keep all the commandments, get married in the temple, have a successful life aka be rich and serve a ton after the mission just so that i can be called to serve a mission again as a mission president, i cant wait til me and wife are like 70 years old to get back out in the field, i gotta get the missionary tag on as fast as possible after!! i love this work! theres nothing else that matters then the work of salvation!

   this big guy named junior gave a talk in sacrament meeting and he said many times i hear members say, " the church plays a big part of my life!" he got real close to the mic and then said in his big black man voice, "what?! the church plays a big part in your life?! ...no! the church is your life!" i felt the Heavens open in this moment and realized that even i before the missoin would say that to my friends when they asked about the church. sometimes id reply that it plays a big part in my life, or that its the most important thing in my life and just the other day i had been thinking about that, how much greater that life is when we give it away to the Savior. now i know that the church is my life, and its a better life!

  e. denna is doing his online application to byu idaho right now and when i saw i started booing him loudlyin this computer place, such a terrible trunky thing to do. im gettin old on the mission also. its a very wierd thing.

 that lady we baptized last week, her nephew got baptized this week. i forgot to tell you, her name is mariluz, we met her on thursday at 7 at night, she was baptized on friday at 7 at night, shes super firm also, such an elect daughter of God!!! love you all, promise ill send pics next week though but this week i dont have any.   - Elder Bennett
