Tender Words from our Missionary Son

Elder Bennett and me with the Contreras Family

Hey Fam and friends,

We went on a wayy cool hike today for pday and I'll send you pics it was wayy cool you could see all of San Luis and La Punta-- it was wayy awesome! 

MOOOMMMM!!

I have misseeddddd you sooooo much this week!! YOU are the most amazing woman in my life and I can't begin how to describe how grateful I am for you and everything YOU'VE taught me.

I had a really...interesting week and I learned a lot as always but I've come sooo much closer to my savior and I haven't realized what started that...it was YOU... you as my mom have truly taught me how to love and trust the savior and with that knowledge I could take it out on the mission and continue to grow it. I'm learning more and more how much Father in heaven and our Savior love us. I've got just a slight glimpse bigger (or even smaller I'm sure) but it's changed me even more...I truly trust in the love that our Savior has for all of us and its that love that I'll always trust in to keep me spiritually and physically safe for my whole life.

Mom I love you sooo much you are one of the strongest women I know and have gone through MANY hard things yourself. You're truly an example to me and I hope that whoever is my precious wife someday will be exactly like you because I will love her with all my heart. That was deep ahaha but I do mean it ma. Thank you.

But no seriously this week was one of those weeks where I just really missed my Ma haha.  

Dad I had a pretty scary week with the adversary this week. Several things happened but everything turned out ok. I learned a lot and that I can truly trust the lord with everything. It's truly in that love that He has given to all of us that I have learned sooo much on how to trust and to NEVER forget.  Hey my comp Elder Bennet is going home in 2 weeks-- he's ending his mission this transfer haha. I might send something down with him but let me know if you guys want anything!  We get along wayyyy good! We've both learned a lot from each other and we're working super hard for the Lord. 

Hey I'm excited about the house and everything! How are you doing?? I've been praying a lot for you this week hoping that everything is going good with you at work. Thank you sooo much for helping mom with her problems when you have your own. You've always been an amazing example to how a husband should be and how to truly give all of yourself to her. Always serving her and loving her and that's what I want to be someday:)

So we had a way good week with some more new people that we're teaching! But the main man Maicol (which by the way is how he spells it so that's why I write it like that and not Michael haha) had something happen. So he was going to get baptized this next week which we were going to have to move back because he's still smoking but he told us he's going to Buenos Aires at the beginning of February for a month. Then he'll come back for a week here in San Luis and go back for a month and do that for we don't know how long...it was kinda sad because he won't be able to progress. BUT were hoping to pass on where he'll be living in Buenos Aires to the mission in what sounds like Buenos Aires North Mission so were hoping they'll be able to continue teaching him up there!

Other than that we found 2 awesome christian evangelicals that are pretty different but one has a more stronger desire to learn but we're helping them learn. They're named Diego and Omar and we gave them some restoration pamphlets to read because we were talking about a lot of random things and then we had to go but we're going to talk about the restoration today with them so we'll see how it will go! 

Also this week we've had some other weird and interesting things happen and I've come even more closer to my Savior and I can trust him with everything in my life. I know he will always help me and protect me from what can hurt me physically and more importantly spiritually. I've gained a more stronger testimony of that and of being a representative of my Lord Jesus Christ. Anyway, I wanted to share that with you all.

I love you all soo much! I hope you all have an amazing week!
