LIGHTTHEWORLD!

okay!! so this week the basic run down was alot of trains, my companion got to do his legality in AIX which is a super cool ville, ive got a few pictures this week! 

anyways, this week started out with Pday in toulouse, with Elder Wagner and Elder Alveranga and Elder Murdock, i went on an exhchange with Elder alverange, who can speak spanish, portugese, english, french, chinese. he is a weapon. we went hard on contacting, and he really helped me with my french and my contacting! 

we then went back to chez nous in Agen, and left the nexxt morning for Aix, all day on trains, then i saw another Stud of a missionary, Elder Sundwall, hes such a cool dude and i look up to him alot! 

we got back and went to a conference with a president Johnson and President Brown, it was a good way to spend Thanks Giving, he talked about the importants of Faith, commitment to the commandments, and Testimony. as we use our faith to commit ourselves to the commandments our testimonies grow.

we got back, AND WE HAD A BRANCH TALENT SHOW! hahah me and my comp played 'silent night' by filling up glasses with water to change the tone! it worked out really good! and we did a another act with a member who is from south africa and we sang a south african song and did a south african dance! it was really cool! haha it was alot of fun and it helped our branch grow closer together! 

i hope everyones week was well! je vous aime!! make time to LIGHTTHEWORLD! LIGHTTHEWORLD! 

Love,

This week we had three mangez-vous

HI EVERYONE! This week has been great! My transfer has been a little bit differnt with a new companion, but we are seeing some cool things when we are completely obedient! 

This week we had three mangez-vous, (dinners) and they were all so good! We had a grear district meeting and focused on the . what lack i yet. talk. Its about bettering ourselves! 

One story id like tl focus on this week is a members house we were able to go to this week, her house was really hard to get out to so this time was one out of the few times missionaries have come! This lady is from brasil and actually  served where my dad served. Porto alegre brasil. She is so sweer and shows so much christ like character. Her husband is not a member and is somewhat closed to the church. We were having dinner and our lesson and their little 7 year old girl said the opening prayer. This cute innocent 7 year old said a prayer blesing her dad, blessing her family, blessing the missionaries, and it was so great. The spirit was so strong, we all shed a little tear. So if yiu can, please ask for the the heart of the father to be softened to hear the voice of the spirit! 

I love you guys, stay faithful! Light the world! 

Im grateful for all your influences on me! 

Love,

2 corinthians 5: 7 ( for we walk by faith, not by sight:)

to me this week, ive been thinking about this scripture, what is it that we give up to take steps by faith and not by sight. to stretch and grow. 

why is it important to walk by faith and not sight? thats how we grow, learn, be where we need to be. 

why is it hard to walk by faith and not sight? because us as humans like to know and see.  but faith, is knowing that god is there and you can lean on him. he will not leave us alone. 

so this week i got a new companion! thanks elder Romer for being my trainer! he did great and i love that man. hes  a great role model!

so im staying in agen for at least another 6 weeks! my new comp is elder Murdock and im excited to show him around and meet all the great people here in Agen. 

so this week was such a good time, me and my comp( elder romer) got a text that told us that some of our friends around the area were playing ball. and a few americans playing some ball against some french. pfft.  we rolled up in our church clothes and started playing. that was a great time to play these kids. they werent all that bad, but we still won! its great because they got to see us as real people. we got some numbers from that and that will be cool if we can get them to come to church in the future! 

we also went to a members house here who has a pond and got to use his fish trap. it was super cool and hes got a big yard we are thinking of doing an activity of golfing in his yard. hahha yah its a yard. 

the missions going good! its getting cold now, litterally everyone tells us they saw the bird flying south so that means its cold now. haha love you all!! 

ps: thats elder Romer and the christmas tree. 

Love, 

Elder Bennett
