Why Hello!!!
It is always a great day here in Las Vegas!!! I have some pretty crazy stories to share with all of you!
FIRST- Let me tell you about Sheba Jr. - She is a GIANT Black Widow!!!!!!!!!! We caught her while she was chilling in our apartment! She is so gross and so scary! We put a Tupperware over her and then slid a paper underneath it and locked her inside... Then we took her to our Ward Mission Leaders house and left it as a present, since the Tupperware container was his! He did not appreciate that, but it was pretty hilarious! She is still in the container on his porch and she is still alive!
SECOND- Carlos!!! He was being taught by missionaries a few years ago... we went by to see him and last Wednesday we (myself and a member in our ward Amber) taught the Restoration of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! On Friday we shared 1 Nephi 8 with him, about the Tree of Life. I asked him if he would follow the example of Jesus Christ and be baptized on October 26th... This was is response, more or less...
"You know.. Just before you asked me to be baptized... like a second before... I was just going to open my mouth and ask you about baptism... Last night I was thinking a lot about it.. And I was telling my brother... " You know it makes sense.. And it feels good.. There were prophets in the Bible.. Why would there not be a prophet now?" And then all of a sudden it just clicked.. And I asked myself... What am I waiting for? I know it is true! Why don't I get baptized?? So yes.. YES! I will be baptized on October 26th!"
I am pretty sure the Heavens opened and the Angels began to sing!!! It was amazing!!!!! One of the most Spiritual lessons I have ever been in. Sister Berger asked Carlos what he thought Satan would try to do the closer he gets to his baptism... His reply was.. "Oh I know! He is going to try to distract me!" And Carlos is exactly right.. Which brings me to my next story...
THIRD- Jesse... oh Jesse.. oh Jesse...... He is having lots of trials! He got his truck stuck when he was off-roading in the middle of no where and therefore missed church... He lost his job... It has just been a roller coaster!!!! Send Prayers for him!
Well, the work is good and the weather is cooler! Gotta love it!!!
You are in my thoughts and prayers! Miss you! Love you!
Love,
Sister Davis
