WOW! What a week!
Monday as you know I hurt my finger.. well.. I went to see a doctor in our area and he said I tore some ligaments in my finger! I will have this silly brace on it for at least a month and he said it won't be fully healed for about 4 months.. my career as a professional morning sporter is over... We got to go to the Werly Mines as a district! You've got to google this place!!! There are so many movies and album covers shot here!! It is amazing!!! It was a blast!!!
Tuesday I picked up my new companion! Sister Barth! She is from Maryland! She's been on her mission for 14.5 Months! She has been a member of the church for a little over 2 years!!! Her testimony is so strong it will knock you off your seat! She is amazing and she told me she actually prayed to come to Boulder City! Heavenly Father answers prayers! It has been so nice to have a companion! Last week was so rough! We just hit the ground running when she got here! We had an awesome lesson with a girl Taylor, whom I taught for the first time last Sunday. She is already on chapter 7 of the Book of Mormon! We talked a little more about the scriptures and set up to meet with her tomorrow! We also saw Caitlyn and we were able to share a scripture with her and her step-dad Tev, who is really interested in learning more about the church. Tev says he just feels so drawn to learn! We saw a few members and introduced Sister Barth to the Bishop! It was such a good first day together!
Wednesday we had a wonderful district meeting! We taught so many lessons! Taylor has read to chapter 15! She loves the Book of Mormon! I do too! We went to Mutual with the youth tonight to introduce Sister Barth! Everyone loves her! We were able to set up a lot of lesson and have people to come out with us! We are so excited for this new transfer! It is going to be powerful! Bishop shared with us that when we went over last night and shared a spiritual thought, that after we left his daughter Lizzie, who's 13, was just sobbing. She felt the Spirit so strong and is so excited to have us together in this ward! I am too!!!
Thursday we had even more lessons! Things are really moving here!! We had a great lesson with Lou, who is from Germany! He is really struggling with reading the Book of Mormon, but he really wants to understand it! He is so awesome! I just love him! We also saw the Newport family, who we have been trying to teach! They are so sensitive to the spirit! They love the Book of Mormon!!! I love seeing their eyes light up as we teach them!! The gospel really does bless our families!!
Friday we went to an old lady luncheon that our ward puts on once a month! It was fun to see them and have them meet Sister Barth! When we went back to our apartment to finish our weekly planning we discovered that it was 88 degrees! Our AC went out!!!! We were dying but after a few phone calls we were able to get it all fixed! Man oh man! Was it hot!! We were able to see Mikalina, who was taking the lesson and then went MIA on us! It was her birthday! Her mom gave me a cute elephant bracelet and told us to come back! They missed having us around and I hope we will get to teach her more!!
Saturday was SO Hot! We walked so much! I don't know how I survived last year or how I will live through this Summer! It is so hot! We had some good visits with members! We have started a BOOK OF MORMON CHALLENGE! We share a little message and then give each member a copy of the Book of Mormon and challenge them to share their testimony and the book with someone who needs it! The ward is so excited!! I know we will see many miracles from this challenge! I challenge y'all to try it out! And see miracles unfold in front of you!
Sunday was wonderful! We had meetings in the morning and a great time at church! After our studies we went to dinner at the Birds and then Sister Morris took us to the Why I Believe Fireside! We brought Taylor with us! Bishop Taggard shared his conversion story and it was so powerful! I love the Spirit that is felt there! I was able to see my ward mission leader from Quail Ridge and a few members. I also saw Justin!! My ward mission leader from Robindale and members of that ward as well! It was so so fun! Carlos was there! It is always good to see him! He's my favorite! I love him so much!!!
Overall this has been a week of miracles! Heavenly Father truly is aware of us! I was reading this week in the Book of Mormon in Alma chapter 37 verse 41.. it says "Nevertheless, because those miracles were worked by small means it did show unto them marvelous works.." I know that miracles happen because of our faith and the small choices we make each day! Choose the right and see the blessing that will follow! I love my Savior and the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It is true! It is restored! It will, can, and does bless all of our lives! SHARE IT!
Love,
Sister Davis
