Tuesday - NEW YEAR's EVE!!!

-Talked to 17 people on the street! There are a lot of interesting people here in Las Vegas! Never have I met so many different types of people! We had a guy with a mean dog and he said behind our backs "We're not going to eat the Mormons today!" Like I said...interesting..

-Brother Klabacka came out with us! He likes to tell ask everyone if we can teach them a lesson! He says "We're the MORMONS!" He is an awesome member missionary! He has a strong testimony of the missionary program.

-Had to be in by 6pm... asleep by 8pm!!! Best New Year's Eve EVER!

Wednesday - 2014!!!

-We had Brother Bybee come out with us to contact potentials and less actives. He served in Chile recently and it was fun to hear some of his stories.

-We had a lesson with good ol' Sister Dolly! We talked about why good people have bad things happen to them. 2 Nephi 2 is the best :)

- We had dinner with President Romney...not the Presidential Candidate...Our Stake President! He is related to the famous Romney though!

Thursday -

- Went to the Las Vegas Temple! I love to see the Temple! It is so beautiful! It truly is the Lord's house! I've been able to go with every companion! It truly is such a blessing to have the Temple near us!

- Met with Tyler! He's Awesome!

Friday -

- We had an awesome weekly planning session! We were a little nervous that we would get transfers.

- We also had a great lesson with Jacob. He asked "Why didn't we choose Lucifer's plan? That would be really easy!" Awkward silence! Then the spirit came in and explained it better than we ever could have!

Saturday -

      -Pizza and games for Zone Lunch!

-Carlie, our investigator, is moving!

Love,

Sister Davis

"I am so thoroughly convinced that if we don't set goals in our life and learn how to master the techniques of living to reach our goals, we can reach a ripe old age and look back on our life only to see that we reached but a small part of our full potential.  When one learns to master the principles of setting goals, he will then be able to make a great difference in the results he attains in this life."   Elder M. Russell Ballard (Preach My Gospel p. 146)
