Elder Riley Bennett: Week 59 Winners Stay Winnin

We had MLC on Friday and our squad won the MLC game. We also put our commissary orders for our zone in first so we won candy leis, therefore, Winners Stay Winnin. Haha gotta find enjoyment in the strangest of things as a missionary.

We taught Kevin the Plan of Salvation this week & it was so amazing!! He really loved it and said it designated with him very well and things he believes. He’s progressing really well! He came to church on Sunday and even brought a friend with him! While singing hymns he would sway side to side hahaha! Love the guy so much! He came to gospel principles class and was asking questions, it’s cool to see how comfortable he felt immediately. We’re going to try & have him watch Conference with the YSA one of the days and do a lesson!

We’ve been doing a lot of work in our YSA & mostly with return missionaries and others who are struggling with life which is leading to them questioning their faith. It’s really sad to see. But I know that God knows each of us personally & loves us. He wants to help us, but it takes action on our part. We have to be praying & asking for help, repenting, so we’re allowing him into our lives to help. However, if we’re not praying, we’re cutting off our connection with our Father in Heaven and not giving him the ability to help & heal us. Prayer is important, so no matter what, never close off the connection with heaven & never stop praying.

I got to see RJ & Joe!! They’re both doing AMAZING & it was so nice catching up with them & hearing about them going to trek & their adventures they’ve been on :)

Today we went and got to hold & see an original copy of the 1830 Book of Mormon! There was a bishop in Cody, WY who donated it to the university 25 years ago so that was dope! Possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity so something I’m grateful for. Winners Stay Winnin.

Thanks for all the support. I love & miss you all.
