Hi!!!!
Let's break this down by day...
Tuesday- I picked up Sister Tucker!!!! I LOVE HER! She is so great and is full of bubbly fun! We had dinner with a family in the ward. They have a daughter serving in New York! We shared a spiritual thought with them about Prayer, The Spirit, and Missionary Work - It was so powerful! They really are becoming missionary minded!!! It was great! We had a similar lesson with a young man in our ward preparing for a mission. Something I shared with both of them is how many times we the Holy Spirit blesses us with a name of someone we need to share the gospel with.. But our natural man justifies that name out of our minds.. we think to ourselves.. "I don't really know them that well" or "I don't want to hurt our friendship" But I testify that every single person that is placed in our path is so that we can share the gospel with them. I know that that is true! When The Spirit prompts you to share the gospel - LISTEN! Never Ever Ignore The Promptings of The Spirit - Not Ever!
Wednesday- We had a lesson with Ms. Betty Dolly! She is in our ward and we asked her if we could practice the lessons on her. We taught her The Restoration - she asked us a lot of wild questions - things she wondered before she was baptized and questions that she has gotten from other people. At the end of our lesson we invited her to pray to know if Joseph Smith was a prophet.. She stood up and in a loud voice said "Now WHO told you to ask me that! WHY did you ask me that???!" We were sure taken back... And explained that we knew that The Spirit could witness that again to her. She went on to explain to us that on Sunday she had decided to leave the church.. That she was struggling in many different aspects of her life. But that she knew that Heavenly Father was aware of her because He sent us to her. We reminded her of why she became a member of the church over 30 years ago. It was pretty special. I know that The Spirit works with-in us to help those in need!
THANKSGIVING!!!! We started at the Jones' home at 12pm! We had the most yummy turkey! It was so great! They really have adopted us! What a blessing it is! Then we went to the Johnson's at 2pm! We had more food and they made me a Birthday Cake! Super Sweet!! At 3:30pm we went to Bishop Durham's home for dessert! I was stuffed alllllllll day! We were also able to visit a less-active Sister Brown- who is in her 80's and is alone. It was great to be able to visit her and let her know she is loved.
**** HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY TO ME!!! November 29, 2013!! ****
Such a great day!!! Sister Tucker is so great! She decorated my desk and for our morning exercise I opened presents!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE ALLLL the presents and packages I received!!!! Everything was SO perfect and exactly what I needed!!!! We had an appointment with the Honeycutt's, a family in my ward, whom I just LOVE! They got me cupcakes and a gift card, and balloons! The family we were having dinner with forgot it was my birthday... They figured it out when dinner was almost over... as soon as they discovered that the husband literally jumped up and ran out the door... a little while later he came back with 2 cakes and a Happy Birthday sign.. It was kinda looney but sweet! I also went back to the Jones' house for apple pie! It was a great day!!!
Saturday- We had an awesome lesson with the Stewart's in our ward. They had us come and practice the lessons on them. The Spirit was so sweet! As we talked about Joseph Smith and his experience in the Sacred Grove we were all brought to tears. It was a very special experience. We also had a great lesson with our investigator Carlie! We taught her that she lived with Heavenly Father before she came to Earth and why she is here on Earth. It was a sweet lesson! She is really striving to be close to her Savior! I know that the restored gospel of Jesus Christ will bring her that closeness she seeks!
The Holy Sabbath Day- We went into Primary today and taught all the kids about Christ and when he established His church on the Earth! They LOVED having the missionaries teach them! We are famous in their eyes! We had dinner with David and Amanda.. They made me brownies for my birthday! David brought all of his missionary planners from Atascocita Ward and I got to see what he was doing there as a missionary! We had a couple great lessons last night!
I LOVE BEING A MISSIONARY!!!!!!!!!!!
I know that this is exactly where I need to be!
I love and miss you! WRITE ME!!!
Love,
Sister Davis
