Dreams coming true! Did you miss me?

 Hey!!! Did you miss me? I hope not, but if you did welcome back to the best email known to all mankind. Okay, that might be saying alot…… but, it's pretty good. This week was pretty good, it was cold, wet, and windy. But enjoy as I tell you about my week.

So on Mondays in the Yuba Zone we have all day p-days. Now allow me to explain why that is, so we have the feather river temple here in yuba city! And every monday morning missionaries in the zone get to go and clean the temple. So I was able to go and clean the temple, and I was super excited. So we went to the temple, and signed in and stuff. And a temple worker came up to me and asked if I was new to the zone, I said ya. He said Elder Bennett you carry yourself very well, and I am glad to have you here today. He then continued to ask me if I had any experience with doing yardwork/planting bushes. I said yeah I do, I have lots of experience. He said oh really? I was like yep! I had a lawncare business back home and I worked for a professional company and so I have some pretty good experience. He said perfect, I would love your help outside. So we went outside and started working. We were planting bushes. It was honestly so much fun planting bushes at the temple. I then got the battery leaf blower from the tool shed and started blowing off all the walkways at the temple. So the feather river temple has lots of olive trees in all 4 corners. I was blowing off the gravel pathways in one of the corners, and while I was blowing off the gravel. I felt the spirit so strong, and it was like a crazy strong feeling. It was super cool because all I was doing was just blowing off the gravel, but a super cool moment. We then left the temple, and we went shopping then went to church to hang out. We didn't do much the rest of the day. We then started an exchange and went home, then we went to bed.

Tuesday we had a lesson with a guy named Joe who is on date! So hopefully he stays strong and gets baptized. He is a super cool guy. We then did studies, and then regular missionary work. We then got bashed/bashed with a 7th day adventist. We were trying to understand how they believe the sabbath is on saturday not sundays. Its crazy, but whatever floats your boat. We then went to raising canes for dinner, and went home and did some social media work. Then we went to bed.

On Wednesday, we woke up and had a meeting for social media stuff. We then went to the church for our district council. It was good and the new district is super lit, we then had a zoom meeting with missionaries in Washington to go over social media things that we are doing in our mission that they wanna apply into their mission. So that was dope! We then went to the sisters house with our housing coordinators to clean the house. It wasn’t dirty, it just needed to be deep cleaned and some things changed. So it was fun to do that, and to hang out with the housing coordinators. We then went to dinner at a members house in the sisters area. We had some amazing food, and the dude worked as a phone operator. So he has lots of old phones, and they all still worked so they showed us how it works. We then went home and did some social media work then went to bed.

On Thursday we had zone conference! We had it in Roseville, and it was fun to see all the missionaries I served with down there. Zone conference was super good, and I learned a lot! I got some pictures with my favorite missionaries. And we got to hang out with the social media sisters. We then went home, and traffic was horrible, but we survived. We then did our studies, then we started another exchange. So we went to the hillcrest elders area. It was super fun to hang with them. We then went to bed.

On friday we had our exchange and it was cold and rainy. But it was fun, we talked to lots of people. We also went to lunch at in n out burger. So it was good. We did more missionary work. We then ended our exchange. And went home. 

On Saturday we did studies, then just had a regular day. Nothing crazy happened.

Sunday we had church, then we did our planning. Then some elders came over and we did some audio recording. We did our studies, then we went to dinner then to our ward mission leaders house to have a meeting. Hes super cool I love him. We then went home and did some editing and went to bed.

Well that it for the week! Ya'll are awesome, see you next week!

  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 ...
