Hello Everyone!!!
So much to say and so little time as always! Life is so great! The work is so good! I am so blessed. I feel like my mind is always so scattered as I try to relay the miracles and blessing to all of you! I am learning so much as I serve here in Las Vegas!
This past weekend was so spiritually uplifting! I loved every minute of it! General Conference truly is my favorite weekend of the year, especially as a missionary! Anyone who was not able to listen, or watch General Conference.. go to www.lds.org - it will change your life! I promise that! An those of you who are asking yourself "What is General Conference?" It happens every six months.. when the Prophet ( just like Noah, Moses, and others in the Bible) and His 12 apostles speak to the world! It is translated in over a hundred different languages and broadcast in over a hundred different countries! Currently there are 15 million members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! That is amazing! Last October there were 58,000 missionaries serving around the world... This October there are 80,333 missionaries serving around the world!!!!!!!!!!! I am so blessed to be one of those 80,333!
These were some of my favorite quotes and/or notes I took!
Robert D. Hales - Listen & then Live!
Ulisses Soares - Improve day by day! As fast as possible!
Carde M Stephens - The Sacrament renews ALL covenants!
Edward Dube - Never look back, look at what you have to do!
David A Bednar - Tithing brings significant, but subtle blessings!
Dieter F Uchdorf - Always have a daily walk with Christ! Doubt your doubt, before you doubt your faith!

D Todd Christofferson - Bless others by service and sacrifice!
S Gifford Nelson - This is the greatest era in church history!
Arnulfo Valenzuela - Singing hymns change people's hearts!
Timothy J Dyches - Jesus Christ heals body, mind, and Spirit and it begins with faith!
Jeffrey R Holland - If the bitter cup does not pass, drink it!
M Russell Ballard - When missionaries and members kneel in faith and ask for opportunities, it is impossible for us to fail!
Henrey B Eyring - I gave them to you because I knew you could and would love them!
Dallin H Oaks - Courage not compromise!
Bonnie L Oscarson - You have to be converted - no one can do it for you!
Richard J Maynes - You must become the rock - the river can not wash away!
Richard G Scott - Repentance is not a punishment!
President Thomas S Monson - HE IS WITH US!
Quentin L Cook- The evils of the world will bring bondage - spiritual and temporal.
Neil L Anderson - 1 Nephi 11:17 - this is the scripture I gave him when I met him last month and he used it in his talk!!!!!!
David M McConkie - Your lesson will become the Savior's lesson!
Kevin S Hamilton - There will always be a "good" activity to go to instead of church!
Adrian Ochoa - Don't forget to look up!
Terence M Vinson - We need to use all of our strength - which means the Lord's strength also!
Russell M Nelson - True change can only come from the Atonement of Jesus Christ!
President Thomas S Monson - May we ever be found doing the work of the Lord!
Awww! Just listen to these talks! They are amazing! There were so many more things I loved, but that is just the one liners!
Also - so many other miracles! Jesse and Carlos came to watch General Conference with us and loved it! Katy went to SLC to watch it and loved it!
We met with Jesse earlier this week and taught him the Law of Chastity! He told us he wished he would have no about this before! He loved it and is trying to really be a great example for his son, Uriah - who is 4 years old! He is really turning around and is an amazing sight to see!
Okay - I have to telling you about the "Willing and Brief Invitation" It is amazing and truly inspired! So this is how it goes....
"Would you be willing to hear a brief presentation about _________ (Jesus Christ, How families can be together forever, why I am so happy ( you fill in the blank)) by two of our ________ (amazing, diligent, bright) young missionaries serving in your area?" If they say no, that is totally okay! We all have our free agency, just go on with the convo! But if they say yes, set up a time at your home or at the church and tell the missionaries went it is and they will make it there! We do this "W&B" Invite everywhere we go! As we talk to people on the street or in the store! It's super easy and really great! You don't have to be friends with someone to invite them to learn more about the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ! The Gospel is for EVERYONE!
ALSO! I just want you to know how much I love you and how much you mean to me! I am so grateful for all the love and support I receive from all of you! I could not do this without you or my Savior! What a blessing it is to have each other!! Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers!
All my love,
Sister Davis
