Elder Benson Came Back

In August we got the great news - Elder Benson was coming back to our area to serve his final month of his mission! We were thrilled to have him back!

Apparently, in one of their final interviews, when his mission president asked him if there was anything he could do for him, Elder Benson asked if he could serve out the rest of his mission in the Winters Run Ward and his mission president said yes! I know that is unusual so what a blessing for all of us in our ward. We made sure to have him over for dinner as much as we could in our final time with him.

And of course Noah got right down to business!

The sword proved ineffective so here comes the bow and arrows!

That didn't work so well either.

The time when Noah made chocolate chip cookies and he made a special microscopic one just for Elder Benson. We all got a good laugh out of this one!

One final epic battle between the two of them. Looks like the outcome is always in Elder Benson's favor!

Saying goodbye is always so hard!

Elder Benson is one of our all-time favorite elders and we will miss him so much!
