Week 71 It’s All About Family


Hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas!! It was an amazing week here in Cheyenne! I feel so blessed this email won’t do any justice to the amount of miracles we saw & blessinz I felt this week. Jaxon & Chaslynn got baptized on Saturday by their dad Jason! It was such an incredible day & their was such a special spirit there. There was great support from the ward as well which was awesome! There were tears all around for the whole family, it was really special. Jason pointed out something really cool, he was baptized Oct. 20th & 2 months later on Dec. 22nd, he was able to baptize his kids. Such a special day.

Sunday was a great day! President & Sister McMurray came & spoke in our ward so it was great having them & their family in our ward for the day. Also, Elder Ufland was able to confirm Jaxon & I was able to confirm Chaslynn! We also had a man named Will that we’re teaching who came to church. He’s this big black bodybuilding and it was so funny when they were passing around the sacrament he took a piece of bread then was like, “I can’t have this...it has carbs” We was laughin bruh. He eventually ate it after holding it in his hand for like a couple minutes haha.

We were able to teach Benjamin Saturday night before he flew out to see his family in Tennessee Sunday morning & that went amazing! He just kept thanking us, he’s such a humble man. When we texted him Sunday morning he told us he had been listening to 1 Nephi in the airport on his phone, can’t wait till he gets back so we can continue working w/ him! He also came to the baptism on Saturday which was super cool!

We found some new people to teach this week that we’re really excited about! First is Crys’ Dawna & her husband Chris, they have 2 young kiddos. But they’re so sweet & were so excited about them! We went & caroled to them on Christmas along with some others :)
The others are McKenzie & Donald, they’re brother & sister. We met them Friday & they told us we could come back Saturday & teach them so we did & after sharing the message of the Restoration w/ them it was so awesome! They both said they felt so good and at peace & that things had been really hectic lately & the message made them feel like things weren’t as bad as they thought they were & they felt really calm. They felt the Spirit, it was so awesome!
We’ve been so blessed & are so grateful for everyone we have to be teaching right now!  

We spent Christmas Eve w/ our Stake President Brown & his family. It was such a blast! We had tons of fun w/ them playing games & acting out the nativity & also go to get very spiritual singing hymns & paying remembrance to their sister who’s passed on. It occurred to me very strongly the importance of family. I can’t really put it into text it’s hard, but family is what it’s all about & I am so forever grateful for my family & for my Savior Jesus Christ who makes it possible for me to be w/ my Family Forever.
It’s all about Family. Much Love Y’all.
Peace & Love,
Elder Bennett aka yoboigator 💛
