Hello!
I hope you are all doing well! The week before last was a
hard one for me, I found it hard to be motivated and I didn't feel very united
with my companion. Last Monday I decided to try and serve my companion more and
this past week went a lot better. Tuesday and Wednesday I felt better and
closer to my companion and I didn't even mind that we couldn't find people. But
then on Thursday we found a family, and then Friday we found another family and
on Saturday, yet another! It was incredible. There really are so many people
ready to hear the Gospel and when Heavenly Father confides in you, he will lead
you to them.
Last week we were knocking on the door of an investigator
when we spotted an elderly lady across the street watching us. After a moment
she motioned to us to knock louder and still no one came out. So we went and
talked to her and she told us to come back later. Well, she is a crazy funny
lady! She had us cracking up the entire lesson and she is just so sweet—I love
her already. We contacted another street last week and one lady let us in,
right then and there! When we first started talking she kept smiling and
giggling and we finally just asked her why! She was intrigued and surprised
that we walk the streets and talk to people and that nothing happens to us. She
was also impressed that as we are so young that we've decided to be here
teaching people, instead of home with our parents. I sometimes forget how
strange our lifestyle is to some people. I've gotten so used to being a
missionary that it is weird to consider that in just two and a half more
transfers I'll be back home.
But I have the next three and a half months to make the most
of it. I want to invite you all to serve someone and also take care of the
missionaries. Go on splits with them, or accompany them on visits—it all helps
so much!
I love you all—have a great week!!
Love,
Hermana Bennett
P.S. Sorry I don't have any photos this week. Next week I'll
send some!
