Service at 9pm? You bet your bottom we did!!!

 Good day Yall, hope you had an awesome week. We are going to keep this short and simple because this week flew by, and nothing crazy happened besides 2 things. So enjoy this short email about my crazy life in california.

So to get started, we did an emergency stove eviction. So on friday night, a set of sisters called us to help move a stove that a member got. So we drove over there expecting to just move a stove from outside to inside. Well, we were wrong! We got to the house and there was no stove outside. So we went and knocked on the doors, and the sisters that called us were with us. Anywho, we get inside and the old stove door is shattered. Like the glass on the front door of the stove was non-existent. (look at the photos for more detail) Anyway the lady who lived there asked if anyone has ever moved stoves? Well, I said I had from helping my neighbor back home with appliance repair. So I started the removal process, and this stove was super duper gross. It was covered in grime and I don't know what else there was. But I shut the gas off, and unplugged the oven. I then went to remove the gas line, and I asked them if they had a wrench to undo the line. Well they didn't, but I remembered I had a Crescent wrench in my bag. So I grabbed the wrench and went to undo the line, and the wrench was a hair too small. So after some phone calls we found a member in their ward who had a wrench we needed. So we left and grabbed it, then we came back. When we got back the husband had gotten back with the new stove. So I undid the gas line, and moved the old one out and put the new one in. We then got some other things situated for them. We then dropped off the wrenches, and went home. Because at this point, it was 9:35 at night. So basically it was an adventure and it would have been cheaper to just replace the door, then to buy a new/used oven. 

Another awesome thing that happened was that on Saturday, Sister Collins from Antelope came up with Dale (her Boyfriend). And they took Elder Kahaialii and I to a really good Ice Cream place. It was super fun to catch up on life and to hang out with them. They are the coolest people ever, and I love them so much. They brought so much positivity in my life, when I felt at my lowest. I was in their area when my parents got divorced and I thought that my life was at the lowest. They were super awesome and made me super happy in that hard time. So it was super fun, and the best part of my week. 

And finally we had interviews with President Basha on thursday, it was a blast. He asked me a lot of questions, and the best answer I could give him was “I have only been in this area for 2.5 weeks, so I don't know what's best.” But it was pretty good to chat with him.

Anyway, thats it for this weeks email, hope you have an awesome week. We will chat next week. Love you, make sure you see the pictures!!!

  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...

  This week was a good week, lots of things happened. Enjoy the read, I also tried to keep it short. So enjoy this Week's email. 3/18- Today was my first p-day in Antelope. We started off with going to the other elders apartment since it's in the next building over. We live in an apartment complex. We hung out with then and then went shopping. We came home and I called the family. We then went to the massive church. This building has 2 of everything, besides 2 gyms and 2 baptismal fonts. We played pickleball and I played the piano and hung out. We then went to another building where the zone was at. We got there and I played the organ and piano a lot. We came home and changed and headed to our dinner. On the way to dinner some dude flipped us off and said FU Mormons!!! Let's just say he was not happy to see 2 good looking missionaries on the roads in Antelope. We got to our dinner appointment and we had dinner with my favorite member in this area. His name is Bryan and he...

So how did praying go? Please sit back and relax and enjoy part 11? Of the Elder Bennett mission experience.       1/22- P-day for the Win!!! We started off with waking up and getting ready for the gym. We got all ready to go, while we were almost out of the door, I grabbed my phone and looked at the time and it said 1:33. I was like wait what? I looked at another clock and it also said 1:33. I looked at Elder Koyle and asked him do you know ow what time it is? He said “6:30 I think?” I said “Elder it's 1:30 in the morning, im going back to bed.” So we went back to bed. We then woke up at the actual 6:30 and went to the gym. After the gym, we came back and headed to the store. While at the store I bought a pan to make brownies in🤣. After the store we ...
