Elder David Bennion

I thought you might enjoy excerpts from David's latest letter.
"...it isn't fun just writing sometimes. I feel like just calling you sometimes to say hi and tell you how I'm doing. It is weird not being able to just call and chat and catch up but it's alright, that's the way it needs to be, but it is sitll kind of tough sometimes.
"Life is going rieally well still. Uesterday, Sunday, my companion and I were called as Assistant to the President. I was released as diestric leader and m friend Elder Pugmire got called as Distric Leader and I know he'll do an awesome job. I love my Branch President. His name is President Hunter. He is and older man and a veterinarian. He is just really easy to talk to and he has a really quick wit....
"The language is coming slowly but surely. I am not getting stressed too much. I trust that if I study and work hard, the Lord will take care of me. I do nee to work a little harder on the language though. Teaching is going well. We had a substitute teacher the other day, Brother Kizarrran; he is a close family friend of Elder Pugmire and he served in Chile. He taught a very powerful lesson about teaching from your heart. It was amazinge how as I've worked to do this, I teach better and I feel the spirit more as I teach. Teaching is funny at times. We say wrong works like this - I was teaching about God and how he loves us. Itried to say he wants the best (el mejor) for us, gut I accidentally said (la mujer), so I endd up saying that God wants the women for us. It was pretty funny. You need those things so you can just laugh sometimes.
"We continue to progress and we ar getting better at teaching. Life is good, we continue to have great devotionals and I feel uplifted and excited to serve.
"Mom tell all the kids in the family about DearElder.com so I can see how everything is going...."

So here is the scoop on DearElder.com....I use it while the kids are in the MTC. You go to DearElder.com website and it tells you how to sign up. I think mail to the MTC is free, so take advantage and send you baby bro a little note. He would love it.

I love all of you so much. What a great family you all are. And now these amazing grandchildren are a part of us. I can't wait to see all of you in December.
