This last week we had a lot happen and all of it was great! We
had zone conference with our president and he did it very differently from the
past one. We had a reader's theater, videos, power points and lots of snacks. It
was just a fun, spiritual time.

Today is Mexico's holiday celebrating their independence and
they are celebrating left and right. It is awesome to be here! They have been
setting off fireworks the last few nights (which sound just like gun shots) and
we had a huge stake activity, "una noche mexicana," complete with a
giant tent, a live band, enough food for a week and hundreds of people to
celebrate with. This all happened Friday night. We had to be home by 9:30 but
we found out most people didn't leave until 2 am! They know how to party! And
tonight we have plans with at least two different families to eat traditional
Mexican food. I'll let you know how it goes next week!

One last highlight was a "noche de hogar" or
family home evening that we set up with an investigator family at the home of a
member. It turned out really well. They shared a lesson about how the
foundation of the church is Christ. They used the six nails balancing on one
for the example with scriptures for each nail, or keystone in the foundation. I
know the Church is true, that it is Christ's church and that if we follow him
and live the Gospel, we will be never fall and always have the Spirit to guide
us in our daily lives. I am so glad to be serving a mission and having the
chance to share this message with the people of Mexico.
I love you all and pray for you daily!
Love,
Hermana Bennett
