Sister deBenito's Mission: Week 34- "De Banaste"

We went to the temple and met a girl at the temple that has been called to the Madrid Spain mission and Seville is in her boundaries! too cool!

On Wednesday this last week we took Herry & Hansel to the temple. They LOVED it and literally when they left Sergio, another investigator of ours pulled up. We walked around with Sergio and then we went inside into the lobby. He said he couldn't even describe the feeling that he had. He said he practically couldn't even breathe because it was such a strong feeling. But it was weird because i usually feel so good inside the temple but i had that same feeling when i walked in of pretty much losing my breath. I've never felt so sure that this is the true gospel. And that the temple IS the house of the Lord. We honestly were waiting for him to cry. We went into the waiting room and taught him a lesson about prophets, Nicodemus and being born again. We told him that the feeling he felt is the Spirit telling him this is real, that this is the House of the Lord and it was a place he should always strive to enter. He couldn't stop telling us how good he felt. He didn't want to leave. Super good day.

Thursday was my mama's birthday! We went to Price, it was super smokey on the way there because there is a wildfire in the Canyon. We had a good meeting though, we could really feel the Spirit as we talked about the new chapter focus in Preach My Gospel which is about the Book of Mormon. Elder Christensen and Burdett, they are so cool and fun together. After Zone Training Meeting we were outside in the parking lot and watched Elder Christensen rope with Elder Shepston, Giwagiw, and Root. It was fun! We headed back to Payson and then planned with the Payson Zone Leaders.

Friday we had the Payson Zone Training Meeting and then a lot of finding.

We had a super good Sunday we watched a regional broadcast but I didn't realize that the region was pretty much Orem all the way down to the bottom of the state so pretty much all of the state was watching the broadcast. Mason’s old mission president's wife, Hermana Franco (now the 2nd counselor of the general primary presidency) spoke. Gary E. Stevenson spoke and so did Elder Cook of the 70, and Juan A. Uceda President of the 70. It was super good! I wonder if they'll put the broadcast up on lds.org.. it's worth it to watch!!!

Love y'all!!!

Next week our pday will be on Tuesday because we get to go to the temple:))) I'm so excited!

Con amor,

Hermana de Benito
