Helloooooo from beautiful the Boulder Cityyy!

 

I'm not sure where this week went! I feel like I was just emailing you yesterday! 7 days just flies when you are in the service of the Lord!

 

Last Monday we went on an "exciting adventure" to the Hoover Dam! It was sure an adventure, but not very exciting. There is a member of the church who is the head guy of the Parker, Davis, and Hoover Dam. He agreed to take our district on a secret tour of all the ins and outs... things normal people can't see! We started on top of the Dam and were out there for about 30 mins... All of a sudden Sister Mawby was very sick and she thought she was going to pass out because of the heat. As we moved along down into the Dam she just got worse. The remained of our tour was spent in the nurses office. She was feeling much better after about an hour in the nurses office and we met up with the other missionaries 10 minutes before the tour was complete. Our tour guide said we could come back in 6-8 weeks and he would give all the missionaries another tour! We are counting on that! Man oh man! It sure was a bummer. Later that night we practiced teaching a lesson on the Bird Family! I love them! Bishop Bird, the former Bishop, and I were both in tears at the end of the lesson. The Spirit was so very strong and I know  that because we shared that lesson with them their family is even more motivated to share the gospel. Kyle, their 12 year old son, shared with us that that same day he gave his best friend a Book of Mormon! It was so amazing to hear how  their children are reaching out in love to their friends to share the gospel. We also had our weekly FHE as well. Ruby, a 10 year old girl. came with Olivia. We taught her about the Book of Mormon and Christ coming to the people in the Americas. She was hanging on every word we said! She has such a light about her! It truly is amazing! We also saw the Sargaent Family! He is in the Bishopric and his wife is the Young Women's President. Their daughter is a senior in high school and she shared the neatest story with us. On Easter she watched the Because of Him video that was produced by the church. She thought of one of her friends who is very active in her own Christan church, her friend's dad is actually the pastor. She texted her about the video and her friends reply was, "Oh! My dad showed this video to our congregation this morning!" Isn't that SO neat!!!! This random pastor at a little christian church here in Boulder City shared the Because of Him video with the members of his congregation!!!!!!!!!!!! SO AMAZING! I love the gospel! I love that it can touch so many people!

 

Tuesday we met with Sister Shattler, she has been a member for about 10 years. She hasn't been to church, because it causes so many problems with her family. Her husband just makes fun of the church and is pretty Anti. Her kids have their own problems and issues! It is so sad! I hadn't seen her in a month or more. The last time I saw her was when she got a call that her aunt died, while we were sitting there! We are going to start practicing our lesson with her and hopefully teach her 10 year old daughter! Speaking of 10 year olds, we met with Ruby and Olivia again! We taught them about Faith and Repentance! They loved our object lessons and just had a ball! We really hope to be able to teach Ruby and her mom, Jenny, whom we haven't seen in 2 weeks. We had a great dinner with Bishop Taggard and his family! They are so good to us! We also saw Sister Nutter and we were able to read a little more in the Book of Mormon with her. She deals with a lot of depression and has found strength from reading the scriptures! It is truly amazing! We also had our former investigator, Emily, who is 13, text us randomly and say that she wants to be Baptized. It was so out of the blue!

 

Wednesday we had district meeting it was great! As always! We went out for district lunch! We do this every week, but it is still always so great! We had Brother Morris, a newly wed in our ward, come out with us! We said a prayer with him before we left and let him choose a street for us to work on for the first 30mins. He chose sixth street! We went to see a potential investigator with no luck, and then to see another potential investigator, Anna-Lee. She welcomed us in and we taught her the first lesson it was so great! She is about 90+ years old. Ancient! But such a delight. She had the biggest crush on our "Body-guard" and went on and on telling him how handsome he was. Awkward. She asked how she could get a hold of him, if she needed help and he quickly told her, "call the sisters" It was too funny! We saw Emily to talk to her about why she wanted to be Baptized and what that meant to her. We explained that she won't be able to just be baptized, but that there was a process and she would need to be truly committed to remain active in the gospel! She wasn't too sure about wanting to be an active member after she is baptized. We will try to keep working with her, but it seems like it will continue to be a slow road. We also saw Brother Norris and Helena again! They are so sweet and sharing with us their conversion stories. It is truly amazing to hear how the Lord prepares people to receive His Restored Gospel. Afterward we went to meet up with some other sisters to do an exchange. I went to Henderson with Sister Crowe.

 

Thursday was a very stressful day. I did receive some pretty neat revelation. "The Spirit doesn't stay when we do not fulfill our purpose." I have never been with members and investigators for such long appointments in my life.. We were there for 1-2 hours each visit. It was ridiculous! I know that there are so many people we need to see that we must be somewhere different every 30mins! I never want to "hang out" with the people here! I want to teach them and get out, so they can continue to feel the Spirit. It was so good to get back to Boulder City and be with Sister Mawby again!

 

Friday we had weekly planning all day! It was really great! We stopped by to see a member of our ward who has been pretty sick. We found out that her father-in-law passed away. Their family was having a hard time with his passing and we were able to do some service for her. I am grateful that Heavenly Father can place u sin the paths of those who need our help. We met with Olivia and shared a short message with her! It was so great! She is such a ball of sunshine! We also saw Maya and Gene! They are an older couple in our ward. We shared a sweet message with them and then afterwards Maya brought out two pairs of llama fur slippers. She told us she was at the llama imports store yesterday and she felt impressed to buy them for us. She told us that she knows we walk a lot and wanted us to have something soft to put on our feet when we get home each night! She is such a sweetheart! It was a fun surprise for us!

 

Saturday we saw Anna Lee again and she asked about Brother Morris. She asked us if he was single and why we didn't bring him with us. It was just too funny! Our night ended pretty bad. After we had dinner I felt very very sick and I was. Not fun! We did had a few good visits with our members, but nothing too exciting or different to report. The Bird's gave me some medicine and are so loving! They are my family away from my real family. They are always concerned with how they can help.

 

Sunday we had a great fast and testimony meeting. Many members bore their testimonies about missionary work and the impact that we, the sisters, have had on their lives. It was very touching and will hopefully spark more interest in the members and their missionary work! We had yummy chicken wings for dinner at the Birds! They know I love chicken wings so they made it special for me! Aww! They are so wonderful! We shared a great message with them about helping our families all return to live with Heavenly Father again. I am so grateful for their families example! I am learning so much from them!

I wish there was more to say, but everything is just a blur this week! I hope you have all seen the Because of Him video! It is so powerful! Share it with everyone you know! I so grateful the Because of Him I can return to live with Heavenly Father. I know that Because of Him the gospel has been Restored and we have another testament of Jesus Christ, the Book of Mormon! I know that Because of Him I can be forgiven of all my short comings. I know that He Lives! He loves us all!

 

I love you all!

 

Love,

Sister Davis

 A guy spent 20 million $$$$ on this house! We got to hang out there for a few hours!!!

Hello my dearest family and friends!

 

Mission Life goes by so so fast! It is just unbelievable!!

 

Monday was jam packed! We had to end our Pday an hour earlier to fit in all of our appointment! We met with a man named Tim, who is friends with a member in the ward, Brother Warner. Tim's wife was a less active member and passed away two years ago. Tim has been taught by missionaries over and over again, but never really progressed past the first lesson. He is a recovered Alcoholic and his AA Meetings are his religion. He lives by the principles taught there. We shared the Restoration with him and I could see a change in his eyes as I recited Joseph Smith's experience in the Sacred Grove. I was very emotional as I shared it. The Spirit was so strong! Brother Warner got emotional as he shared his testimony. We asked how Tim felt and he said... I felt nothing. I know that he felt the Spirit! He says he felt nothing, but I saw his eyes! It was so hard to hear him say that he didn't feel anything. He told us that this wasn't his first rodeo.. I am not sure how open he is but he did agree to let us come back. We also met with a less active Sister Martin and talked to her about prayer. She wen inactive when she was 8 years old after her parents had a divorce and never took her back to church. Her life is totally different, because she grew up with out the Gospel! I am so grateful my parents continued to take us to church growing up! We also saw Sister Nutter and read with her more in the Book of Mormon. She has so many questions and is really seeking to know if this is the path she should take. I know that if she puts both feet forward she will see miracles and be guided on this path! After Sister Nutter, we took Sister Gossard to see Sherice! Sherice is moving to Henderson! It was a miracle that we found her and we hope to help her make the transition to the other missionaries there! It is so sad to see her go! We had a great Monday Night Activity like always we read Mosiah 24:10-25, Book of Mormon page 193. It was so powerful I love verse 24 "I will also ease the ^aburdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, even while you are in bondage; and this will I do that ye may stand as ^bwitnesses for me hereafter, and that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their ^cafflictions." I know the Lord does give us strength when we put Him first! Sister Mawby and I headed to Henderson to meet up with some other Sisters. We had exchanges that night.

 

Tuesday I was in Henderson and Sister Mawby was left to run the area with another sister! She did so great! I am just so impressed with her and how well she is doing adjusting to being a missionary! When I was in the other area, we saw lots of miracles! We taught a few lessons and did some service! I just love being a missionary! The lives we are able to touch and the lives that touch ours is truly a blessing! I was so grateful to be back with Sister Mawby that night! I love her tons!

 

Wednesday we had our last interviews with President and Sister Neider, before they end their mission! It was so wonderful! The training we receiving was on Personal Prayers and I was truly touched by the comments made by the other Sisters and Elders! President had wonderful things to say to me and thanked me for the work I am doing. I am just so grateful for the leadership here in the Nevada Las Vegas Mission! Sister Neider talked to me a lot about my future and after the mission. She talked about certain characteristic she is noticing that I have developed and she talked about the kind of mother, wife, and member missionary I will be! I want to be like Sister Neider! I told President about something I have been doing to prepare for the New Mission President and he had me tell Sister Neider.. I have been studying a new chapter of Preach My Gospel each week. However, I never studied chapter 7, which is "Learning the Language" - because I am not learning a foreign language. For some reason I felt inspired to read and study that chapter the week before. I told President and Sister Neider that I have learned SO much from this one chapter! I have learned more about the Language of the Spirit! Needless to say they loved what I had to say and asked me to give them a quote to send to all the missionaries in our mission. They also told my district leader about this new study I have been doing about the Spirit and he called me late tonight and asked that I give a 20 minute training in district meeting tomorrow! Be careful what you say to one person, you never know what they may do with your thoughts! We had a great day after interviews as well! We saw Sister Nutter again and read some more with her! The Lopan's are probably my favorite older couple in our ward. They are a rodeo family and I just love them! They had us for dinner and we had yummy steak and potatoes! Oh it was so so good!!! We had a great lesson with Brother Norris and Helena, his 11 year old daughter. We had a great object lesson about Repentance! I love teaching and sharing the Gospel with everyone!!!

 

Thursday I hit my One Year, 12 Month Mark, 52 weeks, 365 days.... You pick how you want to say it! I just say WOW! I couldn't believe it has been one year. One year since I last saw my family and friends. One year since I entered this new world. One year since I truly began to change and become more like the Savior. In this last year I have seen lives changes, including my own. I have seen hearts soften, tears shed, Christ's healing power, and miracles, real miracles occur in lives all around me. I have found best friends! I know I knew them before I came to this earth! I know that Heavenly Father needed me here. I would not trade this past year for anything in the whole wide world. I know that I have been forever changed and will never be the same. This one year has changed my eternity! I am different. I am better. I am becoming like my Savior. Today I gave a training on "Seek the Language of the Spirit" It was amazing! I learned so much from the comments made and I know that I needed this training more than anyone else. We met with a 17 year old girl named Carolyn! It was so great! She had so many questions and really opened up to us about her mother and sister's death. They died a year apart from each other on the 4th of July. She has struggled a lot with that and we were able to bring her some comfort. It was a great lesson! We met with Tim again later that night. We tried to lay it all out and see if he is just being nice to us or if he really wants to learn.. I really have no idea what happened. He said he wanted to learn more and know for himself and then he told us he would call us and didn't set up an appointment. Lots of prayers for him! Sister Mawby and I have this new game. It's not really a game but it is so fun! We park our car at the chapel and walk to visit people we plan for. As we walk there are many ways to get to our appointments.. we ask each other which way we should walk, if we should go straight or turn. Every chance we get we ask each other and try to follow the spirit. We decided last minute to turn and met a man name Joe and his two little girls. They were so awesome and invited us to come back next week! I know that Heavenly Father really did guide us there! I can't wait to teach their family!!!

 

Friday we went to the Temple with the new missionaries and President Neider! It was so wonderful! I love going to the Temple! It is so gorgeous and the Spirit was so strong! Later that night we had Brother Neilson and Brother Gardner come out with us for an hour each! IT is always so great to have members with us and it gives us a great opportunity to get to know them better and help them with their missionary work. When Brother Gardener was with us we saw Tamara, whom we haven't seen in a week! It was a great opportunity for us to help her feel and recognize the Spirit! We also saw her daughter Mikalina afterwards and we were able to set up a lesson with her! She is 10 years old and it has been so hard to see her! I hope that we will be able to get back on track with her!

 

Saturday was the ward Easter Breakfast! It was a lot of fun and we were given a bunch of muffins that were left over! Yum! We had a good lesson with Brother Solomon! He is reading the Book of Mormon and we are making progress with him slowly, but surely! We had a great dinner with the Werly's! They are an amazing family and took us out to Scoop's and ice cream place afterwards! So good! We had weekly planning today so it was packed with fun inside the apartment!

 

Easter Sunday! This was a wonderful day to be a missionary! Church was so full of the Spirit! But my favorite part of the day was going to the Why I Believe Fireside. Justin, my first ward mission leader from Robindale YSA, gave us a ride with the other sisters here in Boulder! It was so great! He is the best!! The Fireside was amazing, just like it always is! I was able to see Carlos, my recent convert! I just love him so much! He is doing really great and is talking about going on a mission in January! I sure hope he can get things worked out and go! He will make an amazing missionary!!!!

 

I sure love this Gospel and being a missionary! If any of you haven't seen Because of Him watch it right now.. on Lds.org

It is amazing! I know that anything is possible because of Him! I am grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful that He leads and guides this Church today through a Prophet of God. I know that this is His church. That it was lost, but now it has been restored. Share the Joy the Gospel brings!!!

 

Love,

Sister Davis

Hello! Hello!

What a great week it has been! Lots of ups and downs! This was Sister Mawby's first full week in the mission field! We had so many miracles!!

Monday we taught a less active woman, Sister Nutter. She was baptized when she was 16 or 18 and is now in her late 50's. She has only gone to church a couple of times since her baptism. She does not remember anything about the gospel. We are teaching her just like we would an investigator, which is great real life practice for Sister Mawby! Sister Nutter is very open with us and let's us know exactly what her concerns are, which is so helpful! Later, we had our weekly Monday Night Activity, FHE. One of the girls that come each week just lost her grandpa. We were able to talk to her and comfort her. It was such a tender mercy! I just love being a missionary!!

Sister Mawby and I have been praying and praying to find people who are prepared! And who really want to come closer to their Savior. Our prayers were answered on Tuesday.

Tuesday we knocked on a door and metSherice, a girl in her 20's. She said that she would love to hear our message and had us share it with her right then and there. She expressed her desire to be baptized and agree that the beginning of May would be the perfect time! She said the closing prayer and thanked Heavenly Father for sending us. She said that before we came she was just doing the dishes and praying someone would come that could help her! And then we knocked on her door! We also met another lady that is super prepared! Her name is Jenny! Her daughter is best friends with one of the girls in our ward! We were able to visit with her and she is so interested in learning! We had so many members come out with us today! The ward is really getting more and more involved!

Wednesday we had another wonderful district meeting! Having the old AP as our District Leader is really great! We were able to visit with Tamara about Mikalina's desire to be baptized. She is more open then before, but still not totally open to the idea. We are still working with her. We also saw the Gossards! They are becoming totally active! It is amazing to see the change in their family! Later on we met a lady named Brandy. She expressed a great desire to come to church with her 2 little girls! We also started working with a less active man, Brother Norris and his daughter Helana!

Thursday we had an awesome lesson with Jenny! She is really excited to learn and wants to find a church to take her kids to every Sunday. She wants to be baptized and have her kids be baptized as well! She has a few questions, but really a desire to know! We saw Sister Nutter again and read in the Book of Mormon! She is learning just like an investigator! It is so great!

Friday was pretty rough, because everyone we had appointments with canceled on us! But Heavenly Father still blessed us with tender mercies!

Saturday was packed! We had a great lesson with Brother Solomon. It was our usual Saturday morning lesson. Colleen was the member that came out with us and she shared a great testimony! Then we had a young women, Maddie, with us and had two lessons with our investigators. We talked with Sherice about the Book of Mormon and she loved it! After walking around for about 2 hours in the heat we stopped at SisterPerdon's home and she made us smoothies! They were so so good! It is starting to get a lot hotter here... I know it will just get worse, but I can't even imagine.

Sunday we shared a great message with in Ward Council about having a balanced missionary day! The ward is really coming together to help us with the work! We dropped by to see Sherice and read in the Book of Mormon with her. She truly has a desire to come closer to the Savior! We also met a man named Tim who's wife, before she passed, was a member of the church. He told us we could come back and teach him! So we have an appointment set up! 

Heavenly Father is truly truly blessing us! I am so grateful for His guidance! I received the sweetest email today from Amanda in my last area. This is what she said about the Valentine Hearts we put on some of the members doors..

"I just thought you should know how wide reaching your Valentine "heart attacks" were! People are still talking about it! 

I visited Sister Burns last week, and she asked was I was doing on February 13th or the morning of Valentine's....she's trying to figure out who her angels are.

Sister Dolly bore her testimony during sacrament yesterday.....about how grateful she is for people who care....and how much it impacted her that someone "gospel tagged" her with hearts all over her door with scriptures. She went to work that day letting everyone know that she had been "gospel tagged." She talked about how she left them up for as long as possible because she wanted everyone who came to her door to see the scriptures and feel the gospel. She said even though she has taken them down now, she still has kept them. 

Also! Brother Buckwalter a few weeks ago was talking to me and Lori....and asked if it was the young women that had heart attacked him. He said it meant so much to him, that he re-taped them up inside his house...and kept a few in his journal! 

You and Sister Tucker touched so many lives with a simple act of love! You are both truly such incredible missionaries!"

You truly never know the affect you have on people! I know that Heavenly Father is able to use us as instruments in His hands! I want to do all I can to continue to be the Lord's hands here in the Nevada Las Vegas Mission!

I hope you all have a great week! I love you so very much!!!!

PLEASE CHECK THIS OUT!!!

Helllllooooo from Boulder City!!!!

 

 

What a week! What a week! Boulder City is so great! This has definitely not been a typical missionary week!

 

First off I want to quote for you a sign that is on the corner of Ave B and 5th Street... "What is missing from CH  CH? ......U R!" Isn't that cleaver!

 

Well Monday was Sister Area's last day here in Boulder. She has served in this ward the first 6 months of her mission! We had dinner at the Bird's home! I love them so much! And we taught Sister Nutter, a less-active woman, about prayer! She agreed to have us continue to come back and teach her! She has a desire to return to church, but is still unsure about her conversion to the gospel. We had a great Monday Night Activity! We had a great turn out and read in 1 Nephi 17, about Nephi building the ship and then we all built paper boats and tested them out! It was so fun and everyone loved it! It was a great way to end Sister Area's time here!!

 

On Tuesday I took Sister Area to meet up with her new companion and I got with Sister Cummings for the day, since she is training too! We worked in Henderson in her ward for the day! We headed to Boulder City that night and on our way Sister Cummings got very sick! She had just had her gallbladder taken out a month earlier and was having sever stomach pain. She felt like she was going to pass out and couldn't move! I drove her to the Hess' home. Sister Hess was in her PJ's and so was Brother Hess. They welcomed us in though! Bishop came over and after talking with our medical advisory we came to the conclusion that we needed to take her to Urgent Care. The closes one was 30 minutes away and closed at 9pm... It was 8:45pm.. Brother Hess and Bishop drove us back to Henderson to the Urgent Care and we got there just in time! It was stressful to say the least! They gave her some medicine and after we were back to Boulder she received a priesthood blessing! She was still weak on Wednesday, but is feeling a lot better now!

 

Wednesday we had District Meeting! Our new district leader is Elder Fuller, who was just released as the AP! Needless to say it was the best district meeting ever! We saw the Gossard Family afterwards! They loved Monday night and plan to come every week! They even offered to trade off sharing a message some Mondays! What a blessing! We had an amazing lesson with Lou, our investigator from Germany! He read in the Book of Mormon and the pamphlet we left him! We talked and testified more about the Book of Mormon! He told us that he wished he would have been born into the church. We assured him that it is never too late to be apart of it! He agreed and is excited to continue to study and learn! Sister Cummings and I returned to the Mission Office to meet our new companions! There were only three English sisters coming... Sister Thomas, Sister Smith, and Sister Mawby. We asked the office staff who they thought would be our companions and we asked other missionaries to guess as well... I had been praying for all three of them, but I definitely thought that I would have a certain one as my companion! Well everyone said that Sister Mawby would be my companion and that's who I thought too... and I guess Heavenly Father thought that would be good as well... Because Sister Mawby is my new companion! She is from Oklahoma and is 19! She is a sweetheart! Her first night we had dinner with the Relief Society President's home and met with a couple of members it was wonderful!

 

Thursday we had a new missionary training meeting at the mission office. It was an all day event! I learned a lot about how to be a better missionary and how to help Sister Mawby make this transition. I know that the Lord will help me! When were back in Boulder we were able to see Mikalina and Tamara. They just happened to be outside. They were so happy to see I had a new sister missionary. We are trying so hard to meet with them! Their schedule is so crazy! Afterwards we had dinner with Bishop and his family! It was wonderful! They are just so supportive of us and it makes the world of a difference! We had our Ward Coordination Meeting with the Stubbs and Sister Graff took us afterwards to meet one of her clients, Taylor. We were able to set an appointment with her which was such a miracle!

 

Friday we had a long day of Weekly Planning. We practice our lessons on a couple of members and had dinner with the Morris'. She is a ward missionary and I've really been able to get to know her better these last couple of weeks!

 

Saturday was amazing! I love watching General Conference as a missionary! It is the best! We had a great lesson with Brother Solomon! We asked Sister Slack to come with us. She shared a powerful experience. I don't think I can do it justice.. But I will try to rely what she shared. She explained that she wen to a funeral on Friday and told Brother Solomon that his mom was there, his mom passed away 6 months ago. She told him that she felt her presents so strong there. She explained later that night we called her and asked if she could come with us at 11am or 4pm. She didn't have anything going on at either of those times, but 11am just blurted right out of her mouth. We then told her we would be going to see Brother Solomon. As we were sitting with him in his home Sister Slack went on to explain that she knows his mother wanted her to come and tell him that he needs to not be afraid and that he needs to put away his pride and read and pray about the Book of Mormon! She got right in his face and told him he needed to try! He needed to stop making excuses and he needed to find out for himself. It was the most powerful lesson I have ever been apart of here in Boulder City. His mother was there with us. She was helping us know what to say to him! It was a miracle and we were all in tears. Later we had dinner with Olivia, a 10 year old girl, and her less active family. Olivia walks to church each Sunday alone, while her family does whatever they do on Sundays. It was a great dinner and we shared a fun spiritual thought with them! They said they would love to have us back! Later on we went to visit with the Millers. We shared a thought about Faith and Sister Miller asked how we knew that that is what she needed to hear! She explained how overwhelmed she has felt and expressed so much gratitude for us being there tonight. It was truly a blessing!

 

Sunday we went to watch the first session of General Conference with Bishop and his family. We had an omelet bar! It was so tasty! We visited a few members and watched Conference at the church later that day. We had dinner with the Beekmans who could us Vietnamese food. It was really great! We practiced our lesson on them and they loved it. Brother Beekman went on and on about how much he felt the Spirit as I shared the first vision. He told me, "It doesn't matter what you say, it is how you say it." We have to share the gospel with enthusiasm and love and relive our own conversion as we share our testimony!

 

I am so grateful to be a missionary and to be able to share with others what has brought me pure joy and love! I know that I am needed here in Boulder City and that Sister Mawby and I need each other! What a great blessing it is to know that I am exactly where I need to be! I am grateful I could watch General Conference! I would just like to share with you a few things I wrote down during conference that really made an impression on me!

I know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for everyone! I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is God's kingdom on the Earth! I know that there are people prepared to hear our voices! Speak up! Speak out! Open your Mouth!

 

Love,

Sister Davis
