WOW! WHAT A GREAT WEEK!
Hello cute family and friends!
I have to say this week, and especially these past two days have been full of tender mercies from The Lord. He truly knows us and loves us! He truly knows you and loves you! Sometimes it is hard to remember things that I did earlier this week because each day is so long! But I will hit the highlights of the past two days!
Friday/Saturday we street contacted 3 different guys and we were able to set an appointment with them each one of them!
On Sunday morning we went to a lesson and brought Kayla Paige! She is just so great! The guy we had the lesson with is named Michael. He basically lives in a party house with his half-brother. He has had a really hard life and was very open about the trials he has faced. We taught The Restoration and it was a powerful lesson! He told us that he never listens when people talk about religion, but we made him listen. He said that he will really pray about this. He told us that he hasn't prayed or gone to a church since his grandpa died, 8 years ago. He said it is just too hard. His grandpa was the one that raised him and taught him religion. We are meeting with Michael again soon! It is sure to be great!
After our lesson, Sister Berger and I went to our church meetings and then were standing in the back of the chapel welcoming people. Some crazy person, behind me, put their hands over my eyes... I had no idea who it could be.. I turned around and said, "Oh HEY!" Before I really saw who it was.. Then when I saw it was Summer and Kara, my cousins. I was speechless. It took me a second to realize it was really them, here in Robindale... It just made no sense. But it was the greatest thing! I just wanted to hold their hands the whole 3 hours. I just couldn't stop smiling or tearing up or touching them. I just am so grateful I could see them. It was a great surprise! WHAT A BLESSING!
Later on, we had a lesson with a guy named Rodrigo! He is from El Salvador. Jasmine and Cesar came with us and it was an awesome lesson! We taught the restoration, but focused on the authority that Christ gave to the prophets and apostles. We compared it to a flash light! Prophets light the way in a dark place, but the flash light has to have the battery or it won't work. That battery gives it the power or the authority. He really understood that and wants to read the Book of Mormon and learn more! It will be great to meet with him again this week!
Today Summer and Kara took Sister Berger and I to a doctors appointment and to Jamba Juice! It was so great to get to catch up with them. I am so grateful to have a family that loves and supports me. I know that Heavenly Father gave me them on purpose! He knew I couldn't make it through this life without the amazing support system that I have! I am SO blessed!!!!
I am so grateful for my Savior and I am so humbled that he has allowed me to represent Him for 18 months. I just hope that I can make Him proud! I love serving here in LasVegas. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
I love you all so very much! Please write! Know that I pray for you!
XOXO!
Love,
Sister Davis
