THIS IS MY FIRST EMAIL HERE IN AUSTRALIA!

Koriann: Please inform as many of my friends as possible that the Group Message crap is a big hassle, so, if they want to read my email, hop on the blog. Thank you.

P.S. I'll send pictures in a separate email.Missionary!

P.P.S. Father, will you send me that picture of President and Sister Parker with myself? Please.

THIS IS MY FIRST EMAIL HERE IN AUSTRALIA! Technically it's my second because I already wrote my Father because it's his birthday. But, anyway, WHERE DO I BEGIN?!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Tripanionship of Elder Bennion, Hartman, and Hammond is unfortunately currently unavailable, but I was EXTREMELY blessed by receiving another FANTASTIC Companion Elder Escueta. He's from the Philippines and is a WONDERFUL Trainer. The people here are a little rough, but I'm getting used to it. I know I probably shouldn't say this, but, I'm going to anyway:

I WILL NEVER MOVE TO AUSTRALIA! It's beautiful, the people are nice, and I am going to give two years of my life to this great Country, but, THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST IS NOT WELL ESTABLISHED HERE, and the Kingdom of God and His true wisdom and love are what I seek. The Lord has blessed my hometown of Perry, and most of the State of Utah with the spectacular gift of being surrounded by Zion. Our Mission Hymn is, "Hark, All Ye Nations". THAT IS WHAT I SEEK! A Nation that will seek the TRUTH, and right now, Australians don't think they need the Truth. I will gladly take this message of Hope and Peace to those who seek it, but we must realize the blessing that is in our every day life: WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE ONLY TRUE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST. I HAVE HIS POWER, and unless you received the same power the same way I did, YOU ARE A FRAUD! There are plenty of Religions here, BUT ONLY ONE IS CORRECT! Only one has the true authroity to teach and preach with the tongue of Angels, and that is ONLY US! I've been told that I don't have any Power or Authority, BUT I TESTIFY THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, AND THAT HE WALKS AROUND ADELAIDE EVERYDAY WITH THE BOOK OF MORMON AS HIS GREATEST WEAPON. I WILL NEVER STOP PROCLAIMING THAT MESSAGE. I'm not here to sight see, I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to love and serve my brothers and sisters. There is a huge difference between friend, and brother. SEEK OUR BROTHER JESUS CHRIST, and everything else will fall into place. I HATE TO TAKE OFF MY NAME TAG JUST TO SHOWER BECAUSE AT THAT TIME, I FEEL DISTANCED FROM OUR SAVIOR. I have never felt so close to the Spirit, and I plead with you, to always live in Harmony with the Teachings of Christ, so you may always have this gift of constant peace and as surety. That's how my emails are going to be. I'm not a tourist, and I'm not going to act like one. The Gospel is true, and I know that with all of my heart and soul. We have taught A LOT of Chinese people who have NEVER HEARD OF GOD, and I see the light flood into their eyes when I tell them that GOD IS REAL, AND THAT HE LOVES THEM. We have 4 Investigators with a Baptismal Date set for April 3rd. Shan, Thien, Peng, and Chung-Wei. I know that the true gate to Happiness is this Church, and I will continue to take that to EVERY SINGLE EAR POSSIBLE. Strive to be like Christ, and before you know it, you will become just like Him. I KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE.

Your Missionary,

Elder Connor E. Bennion
