Hello family!!!
Well sadly I'm trying to SQUISH my email into short time we
have today because we got to go to the TEMPLE!!!
First, I want to tell dad my big news of the week! One
memory I have very vividly is when you were trying to teach me to take pills
and I just couldn't, so you yelled at me. WELL This week I hit swallowing 5 at
one time! So that was an accomplishment :) Anyway...besides that, this week was
pretty good! We've had a ton of meetings and activities so we haven't had a ton
of work, but it's been fun. Actually on our one full day of work this week we
were able to teach sister Grace and her family again and it went Great! We
found her so prepared, then she was just kind of dying on us...it was so so sad
to see Satan immediately attacking and taking her down, when we knew their
family was ready. Then our schedule got busy and because she was no longer
progressing we didn't go to her, but we did this week and she was So excited to
see us! She told us how much she missed us and how guilty she felt that she
hadn't gone to church because she knows that this is the church where she needs
to be. She promised to come to church and begin reading the Book of Mormon, and
we also were able to talk to her about getting married to her husband so that
she'd be ready for baptism, and when we told her it'd be free at the church she
was SO excited!! The spirit was so strong, and I really do know that she'll be
a member. It'll be hard, but I think she's getting stronger now. I'm so
grateful :)
Also this week we were able to start our Christmas Caroling!
As a district we go to each other's areas different nights and carol with Santa
hats and it is So much fun!! We have been able to meet a lot more people that
we hadn't before, actually tonight is in our area so hopefully we can get some
great new potential investigators!! OH and speaking of Christmas..I got the
Watt's package this week. Tell them thank you so much!!! The pajamas are
adorable :) I love you people :)
Alright so for the last story...tomorrow is our Christmas
conference with the mission and I'm SO excited!! Us four sisters have planned
out our dance...and it's going to be awesome!! Me and Sister Surio start out
singing lines to the little mermaid song all changed up...sounds like this
"I've got bug bites on my arms a plenty..I've got heat rash and fungus
galore. You want lice in your hair? I've got plenty! There it is, I found one,
nope there's more!..." and so on. ha And then Sister Bautista and Criste
come in with You Don't Know You're Beautiful and we all start dancing...anyway
all of it put together is awesome!!! It'll be hilarious. I'll send pictures for
sure :) I'm really becoming a real pop star! haha Just kidding :)
And I guess one more fun fact...every once in awhile there's
TONS of cats all crying at the same time, and one morning I asked Sister Surio
"Do you know why all those babies are crying?" hahaha I obviously
need more experience with animals.. anyway. I'm learning a lot here :) I love
you all so much. I know without a doubt that this church is true. I had an
amazing experience in the temple today and I know that the name I went through
for accepted the Gospel on the other side. This is God's kingdom here on earth.
I love you so much!!!
Love,
Sister Benesch
