My Biggest Supporters!

I love and miss you!

It is getting harder and harder to remember what goes on in the week, because the weeks are so jammed pack! Last Monday seems like a life time ago! We have had some great experiences this week! I just love being here!

I want to tell you about Jesse! He is wonderful! I just love him! -side note- it is just so cool to love people so easily! I can really feel Heavenly Father's love for each person I talk to. Anyways, Jesse! He is 22 and has a son. We met Jesse last last week on the street. We were in our car driving to meet someone else.. I saw him in his front yard, and just felt like we needed to go meet him! I am so glad that we turned around. When we got out of the car we talked for a minute, he was rushing to leave, but told us to take down his number and that he wanted to come to church! Okay- so a week goes bye and he never responded to our messages so we just stopped by. He told us that he lost his phone and welcomed us in. We taught him about the Restoration of The Gospel! He said he really didn't know anything and wanted to learn more. He came to Family Home Evening (which is just an activity we have every Monday night at the church).. He came and we played dodge ball/capture the flag combination! He had a blast and made a lot of friends with the members! We gave him a church tour afterwards, ending in the chapel. The Spirit was so strong. He said he couldn't wait to come to church. Later that week we met again and he came to a YSA Valley wide party at UNLV. It was great to see him making friends with such great members. He came to see a baptism on Saturday and loved it! He turned to us and said this is something he wants to do. We explained the priesthood to him and he said he wanted to be able to have the priesthood someday! Awww! It was great!!

We had an awesome girl named Sydney come to church. The Elders were teaching her, but she should be going to the YSA ward so they introduced us to her. She loved theYSA ward on Sunday! She is so fun and really wants to know the truth for herself! She is searching! That is the greatest thing.. when people really want to know for themselves. That's what we want! We don't want them to just believe what we are telling them, or what their friends are telling them.. But we want them to ASK Heavenly Father!

I know that it is so important for all of us to ask questions! Our Heavenly Father wants to answer us. Your Heavenly Father wants to answer YOU! I wish I would have really understood that before my mission. I wish I would have relied on Him more. But I am learning so many things here in Las Vegas! I know there is a life time of learning ahead of me. I am so grateful for the small knowledge I do have. What a blessing it is to have our Heavenly Father and our Savior on our side! ALWAYS!

I love being a missionary. I love knowing I am a daughter of God. I love my life.

Until next week, keep sending letters! They keep me going!

Love,

Sister Davis
