Elder Riley Bennett: Week 67 Gas Masks & Christmas Treez

What a wonderful week! Michael was baptized on Saturday and it was such a special day! He was so excited and his family was just as excited for him!! When it came time for the baptism they have little kids come up and kneel, but Michael’s whole family came up and they all stood & watched next to the font. It was special to see. They knew how important this was and wanted to be right there to watch it!

We’ve still been meeting w/ the Lavering boyz Zander & Xavier & that’s been going great! We’ve seen some amazing miracles there! Their grandmother came to church last week and sat in on the lesson last night! That was the first time she has & that was so amazing to see! She was asking the boyz questions and participating, it’s been such a blessing watching what Zander’s decision to be baptized has done for their family!

Thanksgiving was great! We spent it w/ Troy & Rana Dixon. Rana was baptized a few months ago & Troy started returning when she was being taught & they’re the coolest! We had fun playing Pool w/ them while we waited for the food to finish. Afterwards we went to the Lavering’s & visited w/ them. I promised Zander I’d play a basketball game w/ him but it was some nasty weather so we postponed it haha. Then we helped out a member in our ward, aka Santa Clause (this man is literally Santa I swear haha) we helped him unload a couple hundred Christmas Trees in 40+mph winds...that was a blast trying not to get tipped over while carrying 12ft trees!

Lastly, we’ve been doing lots of service for a hoarder. And it’s BAD. But, she is still a daughter of God, and in need, so we have been helping. We been wearing gas masks sometimes when we clean cause of how bad it is, hence the subject line. They do make for some dope pics tho haha! I kept making Bane quotes from Batman while wearing man, how could ya not. I love life & my heart is full of joy. I love my Savior & brother Jesus Christ. Much Love y’all!
Peace & Love,

Elder Bennett aka yoboigator
