Hey everyone!!! 
This week was spectacular. First I will start off with the
funny things that happened this week. I am learning the best medicine for
stress is just to laugh as hard as you can. So first off... we went to an adult
Easter egg hunt that one of our investigators invited us to. The funny thing
about that was that in the Easter eggs were lottery tickets... so Sister
Herndon and I ended up with a whole bunch of one dollar lottery tickets. I know
it is not that much money but i just thought it was ironic two missionaries
gabbling. Then another funny story, we are working on finding a whole bunch of
people to teach which requires us to talk to everyone. So we were walking along
the street and there was this guy on a riding lawn mower and i turned to Sister
Herndon and smiled and walked over to the guy. Unfortunately his back was
towards me so i was trying to get his attention but he couldnt hear me. Finally
i got his attention but that was a rough situation. Then we were talking to
this other guy and he was like "are you girls sellin somethin?" and
sister Herndon replied with "No... I wish... it would be a lot
easier." Haha after that i asked her if she realized what she said and she
said no she didnt then we just laughed about it... sorry if these stories dont
make sense or maybe they were kinda had to be there moments. Then the last
funny story was we were talking to this guy and he asked what we thought would
happen to all the good people who havent had the opportunity to know Jesus
Christ and His gospel and sister Herndon replied with "Well we know
everyone will have the opportunity to accept the gospel and today is your day
you may get another chance or you may not." That was another one of those
where she didnt realize what she was saying and we just had to laugh about
it.
Now for the great miracles we saw this week. So we are
teaching this family. A mom and two of her daughters so far. She has a husband
that we havent met yet and a son. But the first time we were there the mom just
completely opened up to us and the spirit was so strong there. The relationship
between the mom and the daughters reminded me a lot of the the relationship me
and my mom have. The love in the room was so strong. The family seems super
close just like my family. How blessed we are to be put on this earth in
families to love and care for.
The other amazing thing that happened, we were visiting a
less active lady in our branch and we asked her if she would read the Book of
Mormon everyday and she said she would but not this night because she was way
to tired and we were like it just has to be one verse. She was like okay one
verse and grabbed her Book of Mormon and randomly opened it and picked a random
verse which was Alma 31:5. Read it! Holy cow it was so powerful and spoke right
to her. She was even amazed at how awesome of an experience that was. We all
left there just smiling with our testimonies burning that much brighter.
Spending Easter away from my family has strengthened my testimony of the Savior
and His atonement and His resurrection. I know that He did that so we could all
live again as a family. I know this church is the one and only true church on
earth today and it is such an honor to be working side by side with the Lord
spreading that message. I love you all so so much and know you are all in my
prayers. LOVE YOU!!!
Love your sister Davis :)
