How are my dearest family and friends? I just want you all to know that I love you so much!! You are all in my prayers :)
We have had quite a fun week. We saw so many miracles. We
had our zone conference this week. It was absolutely wonderful. President
Porter talked about the power of our minds. It is amazing the power the mind
truly has. Satan also works with our minds to try and make us believe that we
aren't nearly as good as we think we are. But we each have a divine potential
to one day become as our Heavenly Father. We are each special and we each have
great things to accomplish here on earth. That is why we are here. The things
that we have to experience here on earth are only for us to learn from. I
invite you all to jump onto lds.org and look up
the Mormon message called the will of God. That is my absolute favorite Mormon
message. It brings the spirit so strong and just strengthens the testimony of
knowing that we are children of God and we do have something miraculous to
accomplish.
I have learned a lot this week. It was kinda a rough week.
Things seemed to being going really slow and we had some moments of
disappointment. But those moments we can now look back on and realize how much
the Lord was truly putting us where we needed to be at that time. On Thursday
we had some time where the things we had planned fell through and our backups
fell through so we were out standing by the side of our car just outside our
apartment deciding and thinking about where we should go and this young couple
walked out and we all started talking to them. The young man on the couple was
telling us of how he used to be and atheist and just recently found God. They
were so much fun to talk to and super prepared. We set up a return appointment
and went back on Friday. It was fantastic! There were also moments this week
that we had only like ten minutes left in the day and we are asked to not go in
until 9pm so it was like 8:50 and we knew there was something miraculous for us
to do. So we decided we were going to find an 8:59 miracle. So we went and
knocked on this door and the person opened it and we talked for a bit and they
told us that we could come back and so we set a return appointment and got a
new investigator. Man it was just so awesome.
Another fantastic thing that happened this week is we got to
fix breakfast for some of the Bright Fire department. We have this member that
volunteers at the fire department and he asked us to come and fix breakfast and
share a message with the firemen. It was so fun. Brother Page (The guy that
works there) asked us to make omelets and bacon haha well I thought I knew how
to make omelets but... they quickly turned into scrambled eggs instead haha. We
only set the smoke detectors off twice. They must be super sensitive at the
fire department or something. But it was fun :) Then we got to share the
message of the restoration with them and a couple of them even agreed to meet
with us again and talk about it some more. So this week Brother Page is going
to have a bbq at his house with them and we will be there too. It will be
awesome.
I am so happy to be a missionary at this time in my life. I
feel like I have learned so much and each week is another opportunity for me to
learn something new and grow closer to my Heavenly Father and Savior. I know he
is watching over us all. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family and
wonderful friends. Thank you for all you all do for me. I love you so
much!!!
Love your sister Davis :)
