Hey Y'all!
Wow! What a great time it is to be a live! I absolutely love being in the service of my God! I have never felt so close to my Savior. I know that we can all feel the Savior's love as we are serving those around us! This week has been an interesting one.. We were asked to contact all of the members on the "DO NOT CONTACT" list... They wanted us to find out if they still lived at those address and to see if they did want to be contacted now... Well you'll never guess what happened... ALL of these people still DO NOT want to be contacted! ...they made that very clear to us! And honestly it breaks my heart.. Because they have this precious gift, but they wish not to partake of the blessings.
I really love this scripture in 2 Timothy 3:12.. " Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution." It is a comfort to know that through out all of history those who followed and lived for Christ were persecuted.. I know that I am not the first nor will I be the last! What a blessing!! It is so great "stand as witnesses of God at all times and in all things, and in all places" (Mosiah 18:9).
Well this week has been a little weird... First of the weird events that happened is that 5.. FIVE members cancelled their dinner appointments with us this week!! FIVE!! Crazy! ...I mean I didn't starve or anything.. But it was really a weird week..
So let me tell you about Susie! Aww! I love Susie! I told y'all about her last week! Well.. she is reading the Book of Mormon! We read with her and she reads on her own. She is super sensitive to the Spirit and has committed to prepare herself to be baptized! She has a few changes to make, but wants to change! We talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is Faith, Repentance, Baptism, Receiving the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End. She loved it! Susie has so much faith!! She explained that she believes faith is work.. That you have to want something so bad, work for it, and then you can achieve it with faith! She has so much faith! She is working to enjoy the blessings the Lord has in store for her! Susie came to church again this week and was tearing up! It is amazing to feel the Spirit and to see the Spirit working inside of someone else! Being a missionary is the best!!!
I love you all very much! I hope you are all enjoying the end of October! Can you believe that it is going to be November this week?! That is crazy! Life is just flying by! So thankful to have the gospel in my life! Vegas is crazy and it breaks my heart to see so many people lost and confused! The most comforting thing to me is to know that the gospel can bless all of their lives!! We just have to be that light to them!
Love you! Miss you! Keep it up! You are in my prayers!!
Love,
Sister Davis
