HAPPY THANKSGIVING WEEK!

Thank you for all the Birthday emails! Can't believe I'll be 20 on Friday! Woah!

This week has been crazy! It was the last week of the transfer!! Yes, I've been in Quail Ridge for 6 weeks! We just received our Transfer 'Doctrine' yesterday! I will be staying here in Quail Ridge, but Sister Nilson is being transferred! My new companion is Sister Tucker! I don't know anything really about her other than she went to BYU Hawaii and knows Megan and Emily Waddel! Crazy! I meet up with her tomorrow!!! So I'll tell y'all all about her next week!

SO.. This week... I lost my planner... this is the second time this transfer... so I really don't remember what I did this week... And I don't have anything written down!

So for this email I would simply like to share with you some thoughts..

I know that Jesus Christ is my Savior! He is my big brother and my best friend! He teaches me how to be better and is so patient with me. I make so many mistakes every single day, yet he carefully guides me through the storms I face. He is my greatest supporter. He knows me better than I know myself. He knows who I can become! Below I have included two different hymns.. They take the words out of my mouth...

1. I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me,

Confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me.

I tremble to know that for me he was crucified,

That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died.

(Chorus)

Oh, it is wonderful that he should care for me

Enough to die for me!

Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!

2. I marvel that he would descend from his throne divine

To rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine,

That he should extend his great love unto such as I,

Sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.

3. I think of his hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt!

Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget?

No, no, I will praise and adore at the mercy seat,

Until at the glorified throne I kneel at his feet.

1. Be still, my soul: The Lord is on thy side;

With patience bear thy cross of grief or pain.

Leave to thy God to order and provide;

In ev'ry change he faithful will remain.

Be still, my soul: Thy best, thy heav'nly Friend

Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

2. Be still, my soul: Thy God doth undertake

To guide the future as he has the past.

Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;

All now mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still, my soul: The waves and winds still know

His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.

3. Be still, my soul: The hour is hast'ning on

When we shall be forever with the Lord,

When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,

Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.

Be still, my soul: When change and tears are past,

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.

I am so grateful for this gospel! And so grateful to have the opportunity to serve my Savior and my Heavenly Father! Life is good! God is good!

Have an amazing week! Be safe! Choose The Right! ( CTR )

Sister Davis
