Helloooo my favorite people!!!!
WOW! This week is just flying by! We only have 2 more weeks of this transfer! I Just can't believe it! We had soooo many lessons this week and the Spirit was so strong in each one of them! It is such a blessing to be a missionary! I wouldn't trade it for the world!!!
Last Monday we met with Lou! He LOVED church! He felt like every talk and speaker was talking right to him! He knows that Heavenly Father is aware of him! It is amazing to see him really recognize that! We also had two lessons that evening and Sister Peterson, the Stake Presidents wife came with us! Both lessons started out really terrible, because the people were fighting with their kids and there was just chaos in the houses. BUT we were able to bring it back to the Spirit and end it on a really positive note! The Spirit really guided our words! I am grateful for that! We also had a wonderful Family Home Evening lesson on gratitude we shared "In The Spirit of Thanksgiving" Mormon message and had a discussion. I just love watching Mormon messages! They are so uplifting and inspiring!
Tuesday was jammed packed! I swear every Tuesday is! We had 10 lessons! It's hard to highlight anything that was really great, because everything was! I just love teaching and baring testimony of what I know and love!! I love this gospel!!!!!
Wednesday we had 9 lessons! It was a packed day as well! On top of our lessons we also had to get our oil changed and have interviews with our New Mission President and his wife! They are so sweet! I can really feel their love when they speak to us! I am glad to have them here! We have a new investigator named Wendell! He is 81 years old! Brother Beekman introduced us and we were able to teach him this evening! He can't really see or hear. We will have to be very creative in how we teach him. If you have any ideas let me know!
Thursday was my 15 MONTH MARK! I can't even believe it! It seems like I just got here! There have been so many wonderful things that I have been able to see and be apart of over these last 15 months! I feel so blessed to be able to serve here! I remember when my trainer, Sister Cardenas hit her 15 month mark! I just can't even believe it.. that was almost 15 months ago! We had some really sweet lessons today! Sister Merrill came with us to teach Lou and then to see Karlee. In both lessons Sister Merrill shared very sweet and sincere stories about her first experiences praying. Both Lou and Karlee really connected with her! Karlee prayed for the first time with us and it was an amazing prayer, she said "and please bless that the sisters will come back soon..." It was the sweetest thing ever!
Friday we had Sister Smyth, a less active lady, come out with us! She connected so well with the people we went to see! I love having members with us! They are a blessing! We met with Bishop to plan our Why I Believe - Boulder City event! It will be this Sunday at 7pm at 916 5th Street! Please Come!!! You are all invited!!!!
Saturday we went to the Temple! It was a wonderful experience! Brother Beekman happened to be there and bought our lunch! I also saw a couple people from my last ward! I love seeing people I know at the Temple!
Sunday we taught Lou about Family History and got him set up to useFamilySearch.org. He is really excited about it! Hopefully we can help him find his family from Germany! We had dinner with the Birds - they are moving August 1st to Utah! It is so sad, but they will only be 10 miles from Provo, so I will get to see them all the time when I am back at school! Karlee drove us to the Why I Believe fireside in Vegas! She brought her 3 month old baby with her and she loved it! Emilee, her little girl, was kind of fussy. But it turned out to be a great event! Karlee is really loving reading the Book of Mormon! She says that she has never liked to read much, but for some reason she just can't put the Book of Mormon down! I know the Spirit is truly testifying to her of this truth!
I really love seeing the changes in peoples lives as they come closer to the Savior. I love seeing the change in my life! I am forever grateful for the lessons that I am learning here and the Spirit that I feel with me! What a joy it is to be a missionary! I hope you all will have the chance to share these precious truths with others and feel the joy that comes as we become more like the Savior! I know He lives and loves us each!
Love,
Sister Davis
Temple Day!
