This week was so fantastic. The first week in the new

by.

So my funny moment for the week. We were outside walking
around and talking to people and we stopped to talk to this young man and we
were talking and all the sudden we heard the ice cream truck. He asked us if we
wanted an ice cream... considering it was pretty hot outside we did not deny
that offer so he bought us an ice cream from the ice cream truck and he agreed
to a return appointment to learn more about the gospel. So we got and ice cream
and a new investigator all in one swoop :)
My new companion is so fantastic. She has so many new, great
ideas to help the people here. Something that we have been doing is
singing to people. haha i am not a very good singer but it is fun and it is
amazing how the spirit is still able to touch the peoples hearts even with my
squeaky voice singing ;) All i can do is smile though while we are singing but
maybe the more we do it the better our voices will sound... i dont know it is
just a thought. The other thing we have been using more of is mormon messages.
It is amazing how powerful those short little 2 minute videos are. My favorite
one right now that we have been sharing is the one about the current bush. It
is called the will of God on lds.org. If you guys
get a chance you should totally check it out. It is so amazing. It reminds us
that God has an even greater purpose for us here on earth. He has so much for
each of us to accomplish. I love my Heavenly Father so much and i am learning
to put my trust in him more. We had the stake patriarch come and give a
fireside on patriarchal blessings. It was amazing what he shared about them. I
truly know that our patriarchal blessings are to help us better understand who
we are in Gods eyes. It truly helps us have a vision on what we want to
accomplish in this live and the life after. It helps us set goals and gives us
something to strive for. He quoted Alice in Wonderland "If you dont kow
where you want to go it doesnt matter which path you take" Our patriarchal
blessings help us to know where we want to go and what we want to strive to
accomplish. Something that my mission presidents wife challenged me to do at
the begging of my mission is to take my patriarchal blessing and read it and
write all the "I am's" write down everything that your blessing says
you are. Then write down all the "I will's" write down everything
that your blessing says you will do or accomplish. Then write down the "I
wont's" write down the warnings your blessing gives you. I would challenge
those of you that have them to do that. You get a totally new perspective of
who you are and what you are to become and what path God has layed out for
you.
I will just close this week with my testimony. I know that
my savior lives. I know he loves us and carries us through everyday. He knows
us personally. I know that he has provided us a way to return to live with him
and it is through the restored gospel on the earth. It is through that restored
gospel and power of the priesthood that we can be a family forever and live
together in the eternities. I love you guys so much!!! You are always in my prayers.
Stay strong :)
Notes from Mom: I just want to echo Sister Davis words on the love and support you have all sent our way. I'm so thankful for supporting family and friends who love us. This has been the hardest thing I have ever done but knowing that Kirsten is working hard to spread the gospel and learning so much I wouldn't want her to be doing anything else. Her strength, obedience, determination and testimony has grown. Thank you for your constant prayers, letters and love.
