sooo the adventures that this week was filled with, first...
SUNDAY DEVOTIONAL:
this was our second time fasting in the MTC which kinda makes it hard to focus sometimes because we are all so tired. we had jenny oaks baker! shes an amazing violin player and she was so inspiring. she taught us about how much god watches over us and is in our lives. then....
after the devotional we got a supprise!!
Elder Bednar and Sister Bednar were able to come!!!! we all watched a film called Character of Christ, then our guests did a Q and A session with us!! it was so awesome!!
the character of christ, is to turn outward in love compation and charity, when the natural man would turn inward. there are countless stories that we can find when christ turns outward to other people, when the natural man would turn inward in pride, pity, and sorrow.
its cool. and everyday there are things we can do to act like Christ.
most of the rest of the week was normal until yesterday.
so me and my companion teach an 'investigator, in french. we share our testimonies and teach lessons. in particular yesterday we taught Sophie, she is a 60 yr old french lady who is devorced and as children and grandchildren. she is such a sweeet lady. yesterday we had to tell her that we had transfers so we wouldnt be able to come anymore. when we first started with sophie, she was catholic, but didnt believe god heard her, or loved her. as we taught her we saw her grow, and change. she gained knowledge of heavenly father and jesus chirst and the truth of this gospel. when we said bye it was so sad. so touching and so hard. i got really close with her. anyways, the point of this story is to show how this gospel changes lives. it can change someone from hate, to nice. to sorrow to joy. from dispear to hope and joy. from ordinary to extraordinary, from incomplete to complete, from temporary to forever.
i love you guys and im grateful i get to serve a loving god. he is so good to us.
avec l'amour
Elder Bennett
