Week in Pictures

So, when you are on Trade-Off with Elder Kelly in Victor Harbor, you find the Hobbit Shire!!!! You also get FREE HOTDOGS from your Investigators Husband!


When you are leaving Victor Harbor you say goodbye to your 2 favourite families: The Fitton's and the Wright's.
OH! FRAN! Did she ALSO tell you that they are moving to Swan Hill in Victoria? Even though that's not in my Mission, we're going to have to go out there when the Family is here. FAR OUT! I LOVE THE WRIGHT'S!!!!!


Very simply, this week was my last in Victor Harbor for a while. I am headed WAY UP NORTH to a small city named KATHERINE! I am BEYOND EXCITED to begin this new adventure that the Lord has in store for me!!!! Not much happened this week other than the Transfers! Once again however, I am ecstatic to begin this adventure and know with ALL MY HEART that I am going where the Lord needs me!!!!!

Love, From Down Under,

Elder Connor E. Bennion

Here in Australia

So, here in Australia, they don't watch Conference till the WEEK AFTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So, this was Conference Weekend for us, and oh what a treat. I will base most of this email off of because of how AMAZING of an opportunity it is. It was a Weekend that I MUCH NEEDED!!!!! To quickly update, the only thing worth mentioning is how my time in Victor Harbor is coming to a close. With it, comes a close to the opportunity to see Susan Wright walk into the waters of Baptism. Unfortunately, she did not attend ANY SESSIONS OF CONFERENCE, and it seems as though for a time, she has lost the desire to be baptized. HOWEVER, as we are loving told in 1st Nephi 11:17. I don't everything! But, I know the Lords loves His Children, and I know that He does what His children need most! I do so testify that Jesus is the Christ! Our Father I Heaven sent Him to die, so that we may live again!!!!!!! That Brothers and Sisters is where I sill begin the close of my short email that I hope helps you ALL understand WHY WE ARE HERE. In conclusion my Brothers and Sisters, this week will you ask yourself, 'How can I be more ambitious for Christ?"
I do so promise with the Father and the Son that IF YOU WILL STRIVE TO BE MORE AMBITIOUS IN CHRIST you will see MIRACLES beyond belief, and beyond your comprehension. I know He lives!!!! I do so testify, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

LOVE, FROM DOWN UNDER,

Elder C. Evan Bennion ( I just really wanted to see what it would look like!!!!!!)

Elder Street

NOW TELL ME THAT MISSIONARY WORK ISN'T MEANT FOR AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!



Unfortunately

Don't be worried by the title, everything in Victor Harbor is EXCELLENT, it was just unfortunate that Susan wasn't baptized this week. We hit a couple of hiccups, but now, we are going to overcome them, and the date has been reset for October 15th. That's really about ALL that I can update you on. Life in Victor is EXCELLENT! Nothing more needs to be said. Unfortunately because OUR MONDAY is YOUR SUNDAY, we will be watching Conference this Saturday and Sunday, but, from what I've heard, it's amazing. Which is what will allow me to finish:

I bear Testimony, as a Representative of the Lord, our Savior, Jesus Christ, that He lives. He is aware of EVERYONE OF HIS BROTHERS AND SISTERS!!! I TESTIFY THAT HE LIVES TO COMFORT US WHEN FAINT!!!!!! HE LIVES, TO HEAR OUR SOULS COMPLAINT!!!!! Cast upon Him your every care, and you will see your worries disappear. Life is NOT EASY, but neither was the Atonement. Neither was the Crucifixion. Through the blood of our Savior, we shall find peace. Through the LOVE of our Savior, we shall find rest. Is my humble prayer, and testimony, of the Risen Lord, The Prince of Peace, our Savior, even, Jesus Christ. Amen.

Love, From Down Under,

Elder Connor E. Bennion
