19 years, 8 months, 6 weeks, 5 days, 48 hours, and 38 minutes!!!

7/15- Well today was an awesome day. I mean heck, 19 years ago an awesome hardworking dude came to earth. His name is Carson/Elder Bennett. Yep, today is my birthday. So we started out the day by going shopping for food. We then came home and cleaned the apartment. After we went to the church to chill and hang out. We signed each others signing objects since it was the last p-day of the transfer. And I got a haircut from Sister Barton, then we had some redneck fun. Basically some Sisters bought waxing strips, and so we did a little bit of hair waxing. So I currently have racing stripes on my legs. We then went to this mega mansion and chilled with the members that live there. We went home and made visits.

Okay, now I was a bum and didn't write in my email as much as I should have. So I'm going to give you a quick run down of the week. So this week was transfer week. And I am staying in the Roseville 8th ward for another transfer, also I became DL (District leader). So that means I'm over 6 other missionaries and I make sure that they are doing well and they are working hard. Oh ya, I also get to give trainings every Wednesday at our meetings we have. 

Now let me give you an explanation of the title. 

turned 19 this week
hit 8 months of being a missionary
Another 6 weeks in Roseville 8th ward
5 days as a DL
48 hours with my trainer
38 minute call with a companionship in my district. 

Now because it was transfer week. I was able to spend the first half of the week with Elder Koyle. Yep my trainer came and trio’d with Elder Anderson and I. It was so much fun honestly, just hanging with my trainer and showing him how far I've come and what I've learned. So shout out to you Elder Koyle for coming and enjoying my shenanigans for 3 days. Now your probably wondering why he came with us. Well you see, his last companion is AP this week, so he had to come down to start training. And Elder koyle wanted to come hang out with me for my birthday. 

Now your probably wondering what happened to Elder Anderson. Well my son left me after only 1 transfer and went to Auburn to finish his training 😢. So he left and my new companion is Elder Macgregor, he's from Hillsboro Oregon. (Where 
ever that is? 🤷) and he's super lit, super funny and definitely feels the spirit. He also spoke in church yesterday and he did such a great job. Also speaking of church, some members found out I could play the piano and sing. So please hold as we wait to see what happens next with that. 

And I hit 8 months on Saturday which is super crazy. Time flies when your having fun, but I've learned so much and changed so much in those past 8 months. And I cant what to see what the next 16 has in store for me. 

Anyway, nothing to much more happened, we are still on bikes so that's always a plus, and last night we had a miracle zoom call with the whole mission and families. And I got on the zoom call and we biked 30 minutes home while on the zoom call, so it was fun. Our mission president even was worried, but that's okay because I was at least Obedient and on time. 

Well that's about all for the week, hope yall had a great week and we will see you next week. Enjoy the pics.

District Leader-An email from President Basha

  24 Jul 2024   Dear Sister Bennett , I am pleased to inform you that I have assigned  Elder   Carson Bennett  to serve as a District Leader in the California  Roseville Mission. District Leaders are close to the other missionaries and can interact with them frequently; therefore, they fulfill a fundamental role in the success of the mission and of the missionaries. The following is a partial list of the responsibilities of a District Leader:   1. Sets an example for all missionaries in his district through his study of the scriptures and the gospel, obedience, hard work, proselyting skills, and other aspects of missionary work. 2. Carries a full proselyting load in his assigned area and works with faith and diligence to accomplish his missionary purpose. He strives to regularly baptize. 3. Supervises, serves, teaches, and inspires missionaries in his district. 4. Plans and conducts weekly district meetings. 5. Conducts companion exchanges with the mis...

  Howdy yall, this week was an insane week to say the least. The title of this email goes with about everyday this week. So throw on your boots 👢, and get ready for the most chaotic week of my mission.  So on Monday 6/24, we started out our normal P-day like we always do. We went shopping and did some apartment cleaning. We then went to the church to chill, when we got there, I remembered that my bike still was broken. If yall remember what happened 2 weeks ago when the pedal fell off, y’all will remember that I put it back on. Well the pedal still wasn't 100% good, and in fact I had to stop constantly and tighten it back up. So we borrowed the Zone leader's truck, grabbed the bike and took it to the shop. The dude at the shop was kind of a rude dude. But long story short, he gave us a discount because we were missionaries and he fixed it. Now here's where our day goes absurd real fast. So Elder Anderson was playing basketball with some other Elders. While playing basketba...

A Missionary's Life!

Whats up guys,      It was a super good 3rd week of my mission. This past week has been a super good week. The food is still somewhat good depending on what you get, and the beds still aren't the best but they are working. Elder Picanco is still killing it and he's awesome. My district is still super cool. we are all super close and it's gonna be hard to leave them on Friday when we leave. I love them all with my whole heart. I wish we were all going to the same mission, but unfortunately all good things have to end.         Monday 12/04/23- P-day! I kinda went over it in the last email but to give you a run down we did an endowment session, yes the provo temple is open on monday's but only for like 5 hours. We got kicked out but ONLY because the temple was closing. Then it was on to doing our smelly laundry and trying to be big boys, because our moms aren't here to do it for us. While our laundry was going round and round I called my family ...
