Elder Riley Bennett: Week 64 I Got Bucked

Literally I got bucked by a buck. We was out contacting some people in an apartment complex and there was a buck there so I went to go touch it and everything was goin good we was just chillin & then home boi just goes & bucks me haha! Elder Fronk & I we’re dying laughing, especially cause he got it on video so we could rewatch it.

Last week I had my last lesson w/ Kevin & got to say goodbye to him. It was such an incredible lesson! The Spirit was there & he felt it, the members there were bold, it was such a great lesson! He brought up baptism & said he didn’t think he was ready, the member there with us, Jordan, asked him if he had asked God about it yet. He said no. She asked him if it was cause he was scared of the answer he would receive, he said yes. She then bore testimony & he committed to pray about it. Before I left he gave me a book cause he said he knew I wanted to go into business & he thought it would help. I love & miss Kevin!

It was sad saying goodbye to everyone in Laramie & I miss them all so much! But I know I have made eternal friends there.

We’re currently teaching 2 different 9 year old boys & preparing them for baptism. The first is Zander Lavering. We teach him, his grandfather, & his younger brother Xavier who’s 7. They live w/ the grandparents cause their mom passed away from lung cancer about 5 years ago & their father is in/out of jail a lot. They’re the sweetest boys tho & we always have fun & teach me sweet dance moves after our lessons w/ them, love dem boyz! Zander’s baptism is this Saturday & we’re so pumped! He’s so excited too! Their grandparents weren’t active & the grandfather has been coming back into activity but the grandmother hasn’t & doesn’t sit in on our lessons.

The other is Michael Hillan. His family has been out of activity for a while but we’re working on getting them back! His baptism is scheduled for the 24th at the end of this month.

We had MLC on Friday & you already know your boyz pulled out a sweet comeback victory in the MLC Game. Shoutout to Elder Gillette my old MTC comp for carrying the team & comin in CLUTCH.

I also got to see MY BOI ELDER THACKER who I ain’t seen in months! We got to see each other briefly on Transfer day & he was on his way to be a big DLT in Colorado!
Life’s good out here in Casper it’s just cold & winter ain’t even start yet. But we get free Little Caesar’s cause a member owns it out here so s’all good! My heart is full.
Peace & Love,

Elder Bennett aka yoboigator
