Can I just start by saying how much I love and miss y'all?!
Things here are so great! I know I say that in like every letter, but it is so true!! It's starting to feel like I'm living in the flame! It's wicked hot here! But the breeze is nice! This week was pretty rough. They never said the mission would be easy! But it sure is worth it! I've seen so many miracles it's truly amazing! God is great!
I've been keeping a miracle/blessing journal since I got to Vegas! And boy do I have lots of things to write in it! What a blessing! I've really started to appreciate the little things! This week we met an amazing girl named Jantell. She has had a really hard life, but is still so happy and optimistic. Meeting her was truly a blessing for all of us. She wants to come back to church and wants to start doing what she knows is right! On Sunday night there was a fireside that our mission puts on every month called, "Why I Believe." There are musical numbers preformed by the missionaries. A couple people are asked to share their conversion story and how they came to know their Savior and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is so inspiring and everyone is invited. Jantell was able to come with us and it really impacted all of us! The Spirit was so strong! I can't wait until next month when I can attend again!
I was able to go to the Las Vegas Temple this past week and it also marked one month since I entered the MTC! The Temple was amazing! It was so cool to be there with all the new missionaries and their companions. The Vegas Temple is beautiful! Very different from the other Temples I have visited, but still so beautiful! The Spirit and Peace that is felt at the Temple is truly a blessing! It is powerful!
I can't believe I've been out on the mission for a month! Time has just flown by! It's unreal! This week I've been studying a lot about Peace. I know that in a world full of chaos and trouble when it seem like there is no peace to be found we can have inner peace. That peace only comes from our Savior. He is the Prince of Peace. Though it sometimes seems that the world is against us Christ is always by our side. Always! He lives! He loves us! I am so grateful to have that knowledge, and I am honored that the Lord has allowed me the opportunity to share it with others.
With all my love,
Sister Davis
P.S. I've been going through the General Conference Talks from April 2013 & it is amazing! I encourage you all to read one a week at least! It is such a blessing to have a living Prophet and Apostles called of God to guide and direct us! ....Keep sending letters! My address is on my blog if you need it! sisterlaekynndavis.blogspot.
