Hello Friends & Family!!!!
I hope everyone is doing good! Things are amazing here in Vegas! I arrived on May 1st and met my new companion, Sister Cardenas! She is originaly from Peru, but has lived in Provo for the last 12 years. She has been serving the Lord for the last 14 months! She is such a blessing to me! I absolutely love her! She reminds me a lot of Raven, which I love!
I am currently serving in the Rodindale Young Single Adult Ward here in Vegas. What a blessing! This is the first time they have ever had their own set of missionaries, not to mention Sisters! We are opening this area up for missionary work with the help of all the members. I met the Bishop last Tuesday. His name is Bishop Tuke and he is the Fire Chief! He is one of the nicest people I have ever met! He has really taken us under his wing and is so excited to have us here!
I have been receiving blessings left and right from the Lord! It is amazing! When I first arrived we didn't have an apartment, so we stayed with four other Sisters and slept on the floor. However, the next day they found us an apartment and we moved in. All we had were beds. No desks, or chairs, or any kitchen supplies. It was so empty! Bishop Tuke asked us what all we needed. He found so many people who want to help us. It has been such a blessing.
I feel so overwhelmed with all of the love and support we have been given in this area!
I know that my Heavenly Father is aware of me and each one of us! He sends people to us in our times of need. I am able to recognize my blessings so much more since being on the mission. It amazes me how much my Father in Heaven is blessing me! Prayer has been such a source of comfort to me. As I trust in the Lord I am able to find strength! I am so grateful for this oppertunity to serve the Lord.
I miss & love you all!
Can't wait to hear from you!
Love,
Sister Davis
