Okay to start off we had the funniest lesson with this young
man we are teaching. We were following up with him about the prophet. We asked
him if he there was a prophet on the earth today. He told us that he believed
there was. We asked him what that meant to him to find out that there was a
prophet on the earth. His reply was "Well when you sisters told me there
was a prophet on the earth it was like finding out Obama was president"
Ahhhhhh I almost died. Hahahaha it was so funny then i started to open my mouth
before i thought and i almost said "Yeah except finding out there is a
prophet it probably a good exciting feeling" but i quickly stopped myself
mid sentence and looked at my companion. Good thing she knew what i was
thinking and saved me. I didnt know exactly what he meant by that. Like if he
was just surprised or what. But this kid we are teaching is so amazing. He is
so sincere. It is so fun to teach him cause you can always tell when he is
feeling the spirit cause he gets this big smile on his face. It is just the
greatest thing ever to see how much joy the gospel can bring to those around
us.
Here is the part where i learned to trust in God even more.
So our mission will take recent converts to the temple to do baptisms for the
dead after they get baptized and we wanted to get this lady to go. They really
encourage us to get a name for them to take with them. So we had been working
so hard the whole week to try and get her in with a family history consultant
and nothing was working out. Well in order for us to go we needed her to have a
name. She could still go but we wouldnt get to go with her. But the only
problem was the ride we set up for her she didnt know them and she is legally
blind. So we had a huge problem. We felt so bad and just didnt know what to do.
It was friday night at like 10:25 and we are supposed to be in bed at 10:30 and
we still had nothin for her to take to the temple. We texted all the family
history consultants to see if any of them could meet in the morning then we had
to just go to bed and wait and see if any replied in the morning. We did not
get much sleep worrying about that. Well morning came and we had two meeting
before we went to the temple and not a single one of the consultants could meet
with us. We had a short half hour between our two meetings to try and find a
name. So we asked all the elders to see if any of them knew how to find a name.
By the grace of God one of them did. So we were able to get her a name to take
to the temple. It was insane. I cannot even express the relief i felt as we
found that name. Everything just fell into place. We were praying so hard. But
i truly know Satan does all he can to keep you from going to the temple. But i
also know that we can overcome any setbacks. I needed that temple trip and
Satan knew it. As i sat there in the temple i just felt so much peace and
relief. I love this gospel and i love that God always wins. Yesterday our
Bishop bore his testimony and said "Every aspect of my life is better
because of Jesus Christ" I would have to add my testimony to that. I know
that it is only because of my savior that i have been able to do the things
that i have gotten to do. This church is so true!!! I love it!! TRUST IN GOD,
HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YA HANGIN!!! I love my mission!!!! I love you all!!!
Love your sister Davis :)
