Lo Siento

Lunch in between conference sessions!

Hello everyone! I am literally out of time today, I will totally give you an update about everything next week! So sorry! Love you all! Sorry for the lateness, we did not have WiFi until after 6 so the emails sent afterward!

(From Trevor's mom...this is the funniest email I've gotten from him! This is all he sent! These photos were sent to us this week by members living in his area, or downloaded from his Facebook posts.) 

This is something he shared in his email to me regarding the LDS general conference which was held this past weekend:

"I loved hearing your thoughts from conference, it was super powerful for sure! I don’t remember the last solemn assembly very well, but I do remember there being an eternity of new general authorities with their names called much like this one haha. This time I felt an overwhelming spirit though! We were in the chapel with a bunch of missionaries that are my best friends, standing to support our newly sustained prophet...it was definitely an experience I won’t forget. I love being part of the Lord’s church! It is the coolest thing ever!"

If you would like to view the "solemn assembly" that he is speaking of, here is the link.

Closing Time

It's hot. Hello everyone!! As you may or may not know, this week is the final full week of my missionary service! That is a really crazy things to say but I am so grateful for the things that I have learned and the people I have built strong connections with. I wanted to share with you three lessons that I have learned during my missionary service. There are many, but you’ll have to ask me for details later ;)  First off, I have a deep conviction of how much God truly loves all of us. I know that we are His sons and His daughters. There is nothing more valuable to me than that important fact. I get to interact with lots of different people as a missionary, and the coolest thing I have experienced is that for some reason, whether I know these people well or not, I develop such a strong love for them and a desire to help them. I know that is because I am doing what I can to help people come closer to God. So remember that! God loves you and He always will! Second. It

The Inferno: The Final Week

When Sister Benjamin gives birthday presents.   Hello everyone! That's right, we are coming up on the last week of  what I classify as the inferno. It's been a pretty brutal summer as  always, but actually not as bad as it was when I came in last August.  I'm definitely becoming more accustomed to extreme heat ALL the time.  But September and October will still be 90s and 100s, and once  Halloween hits then we get into the good stuff. So next week I'll  actually have more exciting subject titles. Anyways, this week was awesome. We had something called "stake  Conference", which basically means all of the congregations in the  South Phoenix area met together in one building for two hours to be  taught by some leaders of the church. For us, since we are both adults  and mission leaders, we had two more two hour meetings on Saturday,  and then the normal meeting on Sunday. So 6 hours of church! I LOVED  it!  You may or may not know that we believe that the

Mother's Day Skype! Hey!!! I hope all of you are going awesome. This week was pretty awesome and busy, which is always a good thing. We had some pretty cool experiences that really helped me, so I hope they will help you too. First off, this week my companion and I did something called "Zone Recommendations" where we meet with the missionaries in our zone and review their strengths, improvements, and just think about what we can do to help them improve. It took up about 6-8 hours to do, so it was spread out during the week, but it was awesome to see how many changes people can make when they set goals and make plans for themselves to grow. I would encourage every single one of you to set personal goals for you, your schooling, your career, family, whatever it may be, and I promise you that will help you see change and see improvement, and you will know how you can continue to do so. I have tried it out and it has made a huge difference for me in my life. I'
