Elder Carson Bennett - Roseville California Mission

Monday, January 6, 2025   Howdy yall! I know it's been a hot minute since you last heard from me. My past few weeks have been crazy busy and I haven't had time to write one of these things. But to catch you up to speed. I am still alive (Obviously), still on the social media team, and I have hit a whole whopping drumroll please???????? 13 MONTHS!!!!! That's right, I have been a missionary for Jesus Christ for 13 months. And it has been a blast, I have learned so much. And I will be honest, it has been hard, now doing these long days isn’t hard for me. What's hard for me at least, is being away from my family, and it's even harder for me when I know that my home life is going so differently when I get home. As many of you know my parents got divorced back in the late spring/early summer. And I know people say that lives are different post mission, but mine is going to be very different. But enough about the negative, there has been so much going on out here and even ...

Monday, December 2, 2025   What up! Welcome back to another episode of my shenanigans in NORCAL! This week was transfers which means it was a super long week. So with out any more announcements let's get into it.  So on Monday was pday! We didn't do anything crazy besides hang out and chill. Also sorry for not getting an email out, it was very crazy and I honestly didn't have the mental energy to write one. I'm not saying your not important, because you are important! I just didn't have the mental Energy to do it. But then we went to an epic dinner, and ate some decent food. It was the members that made it lit!! We then came home and edited videos and called it a night. Oh ya, and Elder Kahaialii packed his suit cases! Now Tuesday was a really sad day😢. So Elder Kahaialii finished packing his suit cases then the other Elders picked us up and drove us to the MISSION OFFICE. We dropped Elder Kahaialii off and I gave him one massive last hug 🫂. Now that moment was su...

  What up? Hope you all had a great week, this week was pretty good we have lots of cool things happen and we did lots of video editing so this email is going to be pretty short because I don't want to bore you with all the video editing stuff. Haha 😂 This week was pretty good, we did a video with the Rockville Zone on Tuesday, and that was pretty fun. And then on Wednesday, we had District Council, and then we went to the Loomis Zone to do a video with them. And then the rest of those days' time was spent editing videos.  We had a super cool experience on Halloween! We were out street contacting with our camera and asking people what Their Fear was and how they overcome it. We were in a shopping plaza, and we saw 2 ladies on a parked bench. So we started talking to them. And come find out they are 7th and 8th cousins through his Hawaiian side. We then went to a lit members' house in the 3rd ward, and we hung out at their house for a while. I even tried the Ostrige Egg Cha...

  Hello everybody, welcome back to another week of Elder Bennett shenanigans. Now, I will admit I did not do very well at writing my email this week. So we are going to keep this one short and sweet because that's better than long and boring. This week was pretty awesome. It started out with just a normal PD on Monday with nothing too exciting happening. And then early Tuesday morning, we drove up to Redding to go do social media filming for an awesome music video we have coming out here soon. It was super fun to see all the missionaries in reading and a lot of them I'm besties with. After our whole filming shenanigans, we drove up to Mount Shasta. We did a video for Elder Kahaialii. The sunset was super pretty, we continue to drive up the mountain to look at more awesome places. As we were filming other k, it was super cold. It was like 45° and none of us came prepared for the cold, so all we had were our blankets in the van. So I grabbed my minky blanket and cuddled in it to ...

  Howdy all you wonderful people, hope you had an awesome week. Mine was an adventure, so sit back and grab a cold Dr. Pepper and enjoy this week's shenanigans.  So to get started, let's start on monday. So we went shopping and did the weekly typical p-day stuff. We went to the guitar store so I could get a new E string for my guitar, since the last one went snap! So I got a new string, and then we went to the church. I called my mom, and chatted for a bit. I then played some games with some other missionaries. We then left and went to our WML house, Brother Bell! We played some board games, and I strung my guitar string back up, and got it tuned. Brother Bell made us tacos, and they were pretty premium. We even had a competition on who could eat more tacos. I only got 7 down, which isn’t a lot but I aint a very big guy. We then moved a couch for him and a piano, since he was getting a newer couch. We then went home and had dinner. I was playing the guitar, and I tuned it in a...
