UTAH!!!! :)

How have you all been this week? Things are going good here
in the fantastic humid land of Indiana!!
We had an awesome experience this week. We were teaching one
of our investigators and we asked her if she had any friends that have been
struggling or could use any service or anything and she told us about her one
friend that had been going through a really hard time. So we went and contacted
her friend and we talked to her for a while and told her about what we do and she
was so humble. She agreed to let us come back and share more with her. So we
went back later this week and shared more and after we got dont sharing the
restoration we asked her how she would feel to know if Christ had his church
restored on the earth again. She said it would be a miracle. She told us that
she believes in having apostles and all the wonderful stuff. We were so excited
and told her to pray and ask God if this is all true she said she would. It was
so awesome. Both me and my companion feel that she is super prepared. Our other
investigator that told us to go see her is so fantastic too. She has two little
girls they are 8 years old and they are twins. Sometimes they can be hard to
teach with because they get side tracked super easy. But the mom wants them to
listen and is truly looking on how she can bring peace into her home. Well
there is no better answer to that than to have the restored gospel in her
home. 
Something funny that happened this week we got to go and do
chalk drawings on Labor day. We went and drew the plan of salvation in a park.
And while we were there we were talking to people about it. But anyway my
companion and i were drawing the pre-earth life. Well i was drawing the us as
spirit children... it was kinda just and outline of a human but it was squiggly
to make it kinda spirity lookin. Then we thought it would be fun to get the
kids that were at the park involved so we were going to use them to outline
Adam and Eve. So things were going just great and we were almost finished and
one of the little kids pointed to the spirit children i drew and asked his mom
what those were and now i know i am not the best drawer but i thought they
looked pretty good but the mom responded with "I think they are
gingerbread men"....... But in my defense the little kids responded to his
mom and said "I think they are ghosts"... Which is better than
gingerbread men. But that just confirmed to me two things...one i probably
should not be put in charge of drawing us as spirit children next time and two
that little kids are much closer to that veil than we give them credit
for.
Now my companion shared something with me this morning that
i want to share with all of you. She told me "God says yes in three ways
he says no and give you something better... he says yes and gives you
what you want... or he says wait and gives you the best" I know this is so
true. Sometimes we dont recognize the answers to our prayers when Heavenly
Father doesnt answer them the way we want him too. But we always got to remember
that he can see the whole picture and he knows what it best for you. As we come
closer to him and increase our faith in him and his beloved son his will for us
becomes more evident to us and we notice our prayers are answered in the way we
want them to be because the will of the Father for us is what we want as well.
(I hope that made sense) Then other times we feel that Heavenly Father isnt
answering any of our prayers because we dont get and answer right away. In that
time we do a lot of growing and shaping into what Heavenly Father wants us to
become as long as we keep doing what is right. I know that God has a plan for
each one of us and at the end of that plan he wants all of his children back
home to live with him as families. I am so blessed to have my family sealed to
me and know that we will be together forever. That is the greatest blessing i
could ever ask for. I know God loves each one of you and each of you are
so special to me. I love you all so much!!! Have a great week :)
Love your sister Davis :)
