Why Hello Hello!!
Monday we went to the Famous Pirate House here in Boulder City! A member told me it was on YouTube and has been HGTV. So try looking up "Boulder City Pirate House" Let me know if you find it! This was the coolest trip our District has ever been on! I would love to come back and rent a room at this house. There were so many pools and water slides. It truly was undesirable! You'll have to see for yourself! It is worth well over $20 MILLION! It has the original Pirates of the Caribbean electronic people from Disney World! We just had a ball there! We had a great lesson with our investigator Anna-Lee! We also had another great Monday Night Activity!! I just love PDAYS!!!!
Tuesday was pretty packed! We had a great lesson with Sister Shattler! We practiced the first lesson with her and the spirit was so sweet there! Afterwards,, we went to serve a member who's father had just passed away. We organized a closet for her so that she could have room for her children to stay with her for the funeral. We also visited with a less active family. I really can't explain via email how "interesting" our visit was. That is a story for another time. We taught Carolyn, our 17year old investigator, about the Plan of Happiness! She loved it! She said how much it mad sense and answered the questions she has! It was so amazing! I love sharing this plan with my brothers and sisters! We also taught the Plan of Salvation to the Lopan's, they are our grandparents here in BC! I don't know what I would do without them!
Thursday saw John again and read a little in the Book of Mormon. I know he has a desire to learn and come closer to the Savior, but something is holding him back from really enjoying all of the blessings! He always does everything we ask had way, literally! He only reads half of the pamphlet or half of the chapter. It is really quite strange. Hopefully we can really get through to him! Today along with having Payton, a 14 year old young women. We also had Zach who is 17 and Jackson who is 14 with us! I love having the youth with us! They remind me of my awesome siblings and they keep the work fun! We had the greatest lesson with Jenny, her daughter Ruby who's 10 and her son Earl who's 13! Olivia is Ruby's best friend. We read the first 12 verses of the Book of Mormon with them. Olivia stopped at verse 12 which reads, "And it came to pass that as he read, he was filled with the Spirit of the Lord." and bore the most beautiful testimony. She has been reading in the Book of Mormon everyday and shared that she has truly felt the Spirit of the Lord more in her life as she's read. It was amazing and so powerful coming for her 10 year old self. I was blown away!
Sister Mawby has been having sharp pains in her abdomen for about 3 weeks.Tonight was the worse they have ever been and mission medical asked me to take her to the ER. It was about 8:30pm. We stopped by the Birds to give her a blessing and Sister Bird drove us to the ER. Boulder City has one 2 mins away from us so we went there. There was no other patients and the ER so they took her right in. 3 hours later we got some results back from the tests and nothing seemed to be wrong. They gave her some prescriptions and we went on our way.
Friday we had a big Zone Training Meeting, it was alright. Sister Mawby and I were so tired it was difficult! We got some medicine in her after the meeting and she didn't feel any better. We had a couple of appointments set up for that night, so I had the responsibility of finding members for her to stay with and for finding members to come and teach with me. It was so stressful and so last minute. Everyone was busy it seemed like, but the Caldwells and Lopans and Graffs pulled through for us! Sister Graff came out with me and we had to really great lessons and found 2 new investigators! It was a miracle and a blessing!!
Saturday I stayed with Sister Mawby and looked after her. Later that night we were invited to a special dinner with us, the Mission President and his wife, the Temple President, and his wife, Elder Southword of the seventy, and the Stake High Counselors and their wives. Sister Mawby and I both did not want to miss this. No other missionaries were invited! We went, but Sister Mawby was not feeling well at all. When we got back to our apartment that night mission medical called and said that if she wasn't feeling better by tomorrow then I should take her to a different ER for further testing.
Sunday morning came bright and early! Before we knew it we were off for ER Trip #2! Bishop Taggard's wife took us this time. More tests and hours later, still no sign of what the problem is. They gave her more medicine to take but didn't know what to tell us. Many members had heard of our adventures and were calling and texting! They are all so good to us! We had 2 different members bring homemade chicken noodle soup over. We also received ginger ale and fruit and lots of other little things. It was so great to feel the love our ward has for us! We received a call from President and Sister Neider and they invited us to stay the night at the mission home. So last night at about 9:40pm we drove into Vegas to stay with the Neiders. They are taking such good care of us and I know that the Lord is very aware of the trials we are facing! I know he will take care of us, because we are His precious daughters and his faithful servants.
All your prayers and love are felt! I know that I have been called of God! I know He is with me and I pray each day that you will feel of His love in your life! This Gospel is true! We do have a Prophet that leads and guides us! I am so grateful for the Book of Mormon, it has given me so much strength and comfort these past few days! I love the Lord! He lifts my burdens!
Love,
Sister Davis
