Éternel est notre club

First week of the new transfer and got started with alot of things going on, last Monday we had to be at the train station all day getting all the missionaries to their respective cities we said goodbye to the departing missionaries which is always sad, but full of joy and they have finish their part in this great battle. We then got to see some of the new missionaries that came in, with them ready to take the suite. I was able to go on a rapid split with a new missionary from Spain. Spanish is such an awesome language, he's a monster contacter already as he was talking to each person he could on the bus. 

After that was done we had some other elders that were comming to stay the next day. We did an exchange with them, had an awesome meeting with promise(the sister of a new family that moved in)we gave her a book of Mormon and she said that she read the chapters we gave her and she started crying and she said she can't stop thinking about being baptised. 

The next day we had some more splits with some good friends elder schulzke and Elder eklund. Both from Canada and weapons for the lords work. We saw samoly(our recent convert) and prepared him to bless the sacrement, which he did this past Sunday. 

We met with Amen. Our ami who hasn't been baptised yet and been going to church and everything for over 1 year. Elder Sundwall and I have been drilling and digging deep to get him baptised with the proper authority. He was baptised at age 19, in the protestant church. He is 23 and believes that his baptism was valid. Now don't mistake that this experience isn't hard. Telling a strong believer of Christ that his baptism wasnt correct. But what blessing it is to be told that from 2 young men from the only true church that holds the authority. I know that this church is the only chruch of Jesus Christ. The powers of the priesthood were restored. Don't ever doute that or look else where for the joy that it brings. 

This week I met a man from Venezuela. I always love talking to southern Americans. Open, and loving. Plus the Spanish part:) so awesome. 

We had thanksgiving with a very sweet recent convert Amandine. She had 2 ward families over, all 6 missionaries, and another one of her friends. Very good companies and food. 

My brothers and sisters I'm grateful to be on a mission in this great time. I know God lives. Faith in JESUS CHRIST, and only him, is what is going to get the through this life to the next. 

I love you all! Take care, 
And sing lots of Christmas songs for me cause Christmas is so soon. 
LIGHT THE WORLD.

This week as working and visiting some of the families we love. Therese and her kids, with the new family from Nigeria, and I was realising how important the family is for the growth of every individual. There are some very strong youth that we are working is and it's because their parents were there to guide them. I'm grateful for my family and the things I have learned from their examples. 

Felix our recent convert had a PtSD attack a few weeks ago and has been in a hospital for try and help him. Its been rough for his family but his testimony is growing and strong and he is sharing the testimony everywhere he is. Please offer a prayer for him!

Desert songs

Hey everyone:) I guess to start off a little update in life, I'm in my 11th transfer, out of 16. I've got about 7 month that are left. Wow. It's going by fast. Learning alot of things. Learning how to care for others, and learning more about who i am. My role as a child of God. 

This week was very good, very busy. So we have alot of friends that are African. We had a meeting with one this week. For most of the immigrants and most Africans that are here in France, there is one path that they take to get here, they cross the desert, with only what they can bring, after crossing the desert they are put onto a boat very small boat and brought to Italy or another country close. Our friends, all tell us there there is no way to make it through that if you are not believing and have God help you. These are some of greatest examples of faith that I know. Is my friends that have done this. Who knows. One day I might have to go try it. 

Hahaha karma story. 
We were walking on the road go to see a our friend AMEN. Some man on his scooter started yelling at us, but we just kept walking and all. 2 seconds after we hear a big crash, he had crashed into a car going the other directions so we run over and help him and all, he was fine but the other car wasn't. Haha gave it a flat tire. 

Then just after the lesson we had. We were walking down some slippery stairs and I said to my comp, how many people do you Think have slipped on these stairs, and just as I said that he slipped and fell and got pretty hurt, haha But it was pretty funny. 
Anyways. Life's good. Take a look at Dallin H oaks lastest talk. Very good and true:) 

LOVE YOU ALL! 
Elder Bennett
