Elder Riley Bennett: Week 42 60% Of The Time...It Works Everytime

We helped someone who’s car broke down in the left turn lane last week and it was such a cool miracle! We helped him push it into a neighborhood nearby and were able to talk with him afterwards, then on our way back to our car we were able to talk with another person. We were able to get both there contact info and they were pretty interested. Anyways, just wanted to share that when we serve our fellow brothers and sisters, the Lord blesses us!

We talked with Deb’s neighbor/fellowshippers, the Jeffery’s, and they said that they talked with Deb and Mike was upset about her decision to be baptized and so she decided to take a step back with things and let things cool down before continuing. She said she wouldn’t let him make her decision for her, she’s just letting things cool down. So we’re just letting things be right now and will reach out to her this week to see if we could possibly read with Deb.

We did see them Thursday night tho. We helped out the Jeffery’s with setting up and taking down for a dance recital and their granddaughter Nevaeh was dancing in it so we saw them there and went to eat with them after, it was really fun, Mike was telling us a bunch of stories. Hope that his heart softening up.

We hadn’t heard anything from Adrian in almost 2 weeks and we were about to drop him and Sunday night we stopped by and his door was open and he let us in for cake and juice. We were able to meet his girlfriend Ruby and talk with her about the Book of Mormon, then they invited us to come back the next day for dinner and a lesson! It was such a miracle!

Monday we were on exchanges and I was with Elder Fronk who’s a Spanish speaking elder and we went and taught Adrian and Ruby and his Spanish came in clutch! Sometimes I would ask a question and Ruby wouldn’t fully understand so he would step in and ask in Spanish haha it was a funny but awesome lesson! They invited us to come back Thursday for dinner and a lesson again so we’re hype for that!

We helped out with a Family Fun Run on Saturday morning and it was a ton of fun cheering on all the people competing in it and we had such a blast! We had a ton of parents coming up and thanking us so I think we did a good job representing the church in FOCO. Also we were on this corner with a community service officer named Joey and she was so dope! We talked a lot with her and she said her and her husband would be interested in meeting with us! Blessings come from service!!!

Y’all stay classy. Love y’all 🤟
