Howdy from BC!
This will be a very short email, because this morning I was playing Kanackie (football/ultimate frisbee game) and I jammed/may have broken my left pointer finger... It hurts sooo bad! And therefore it is super hard to type!!! Plus, though this week has been very strange and semi eventful it really can be summarized in 2 words.. NO COMPANION. That's right Sister Mawby was sent back to Oklahoma on Tuesday. But let's start with Monday.
Monday we were still at the mission home. President gave me permission to go out with some other sisters, so I called Sister Tucker and Sister Pantoja in the QUAIL RIDGE WARD! They were so good to me and picked me up that night to go out with them for 3 hours. We had dinner with our Recent Convert Ashley and her husband Tim! They are so wonderful! Then prior to me getting picked up Brother Jones, whom I just love so much, called the sisters and said, "I just really feel like you sisters need to come over tonight, do you think you could stop by?" Of course they said Yes! And when they told him that I would be with them he knew it was the Spirit prompting him to have us there. So we went by and visited with them. Brother Jones gave me a really sweet blessing and then the 3 of us missionaries all bore our testimonies it was just what I needed! Then our last stop was to David and Amanda! I couldn't not see them! They gave me a ride back to the mission home and we were able to catch up on our lives! They are my favorites!! It was such a blessing to be back in QRidge for a few hours! Heavenly Father really helped me feel comforted.
Tuesday morning Sister Mawby was suppose to go to a specialist.. But she and the mission president decided to that she should go home. So we drove back to Boulder City to pack and clean! at 1:30pm the Mission President called us and told us that I needed to drive her to the airport and that her flight was to leave at 3pm! We were not expecting that to happen so fast! I drove her to the airport and didn't even have a chance to say goodbye! Then President and I drove back to the mission office to drop off her bike. I was doing my best to hold it together! Then I was given a package from my Trainer, Sister Cardenas! TENDER MERCY! President asked me to drive back to Boulder City ALL BY MYSELF! So on the 30 minute drive alone, I cried and cried! I met up with the sisters in Boulder and cried with them.. Then off to serve it was.. I had to make some phone calls to members of the ward informing them of what was happening. Bishop Taggard arranged for members to bring my mattress from the apartment to the others sister apartment, so that I wouldn't have to sleep on an air mattress for a week. I made a lot of calls and have members to come out with me for about 4-6 hours everyday, the other times I will be with the other sisters, Sister Eagar and Sister Hope! I LOVE THEM!
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday I was out with members visiting potentials, teaching some lessons, carrying the load, praying for miracles, overall it was a great learning experience! I know that I can do anything, because I survived these days without having any meltdowns!
Sunday - MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!! - visitmormon.org/motherhood - there is an amazing video there!! I went to the Black Canyon ward all by myself! I sat with the Hess and Bird family in Sacrament meeting and went to help Sister Bird in primary after that! It was really fun! The Bird's adopted me for the day and I went to their home for lunch and then FaceTimed with my amazing family! It was so great to see their faces and hear their stories!! I can't believe that was the last time I will see them until I am back in Houston at the airport coming home! Time is flying so fast, but I am grateful for every moment!
I wish I could write more, but it just is too hard on my little finger! I love you all so much! I am so grateful for this gospel and how it changes our lives. Christ Gospel is back! We can all be apart of it! And we can have a witness from the Spirit for ourselves as we pray! I grateful for prayer and for the Book of Mormon! I know that this is exactly where I am needed!! I hope you all have a wonderful week!! XOXO!
Love,
Sister Davis
