LAST FULL WEEK ON THE MISSION! I'M COMIN HOME!


 

Mom,

an original jersey hits about 50 dollars or 100 reais but ill see what i can do. what kind does everyone want cause theres tons of european and brazilian team jerseys here or does everyone just want the normal standard brazilian jersey. 

   i bought 2 hammacks and i plan on buying about 2 more, because i rememeber you said you wanted that a while ago. ill bring home my alarm clock, but the missions have phones for the companionships so everyone just uses that as an alarm.

    it brings much joy to know that logan blessed his baby son. who would have thought that someday logan would come back to activity and become a worthy priesthood holder. i know hes being blessed for his decisions and im proud of him. i missed all of you guys for about 2 years, except baptizing people is really awesome so i forgot about you all for 2 years. bring the tissue boxes to the airport cause im gonna have a good cry.

     we married and baptized that couple i was telling you about on thursday. thursday we went to the marriage and thursday night we went to the baptisms. during the wedding, i turned to the other elders and said, im next.


 
 

       in all my time trick or treating and dressing up i never thought id be someday baptizing a family on halloween. they shared there testimonies after the baptism, arilson the dad, who usually is very shy bore a really strong testimony with some power. he explained how the gospel of Jesus Christ has changed his family. then the mom, tãnia went up and she started crying of so much joy she said. the older son, victor, he goes to seminary all by himself everyday and frequently tells us that someday he will be elder silva someday. theyve all committed to getting sealed in the temple here in one year. 
 

   this is my last real week to work, cause next week is packing and interviews with pres. im more then excited to end the mission :D 

    we took 9 people to church, 2 have dates set for tuesday morning and one for wedenesday afternoon and weve got about 4 or 5 possibilities to baptize this sunday, should be a good week. 

   make sure to tell me specifically what jerseys an stuff cause next week im just gonna look at the email and get out, i got things to do. 

        love ya, Elder Bennett
