Family!
OH! The week sounds
like it was quite fun! I am glad to hear you loved and enjoyed Meet the
Mormons! What powerful stories! We each have our own and get to share it
personally with those we meet.
I love each one of you
dearly. Thank you for everything you have taught me. I often tell stories of
each of you to Sister Barrick and after every one she says, "I want to
meet your family!" So, y’all are famous!
I learned of humility
this week! Once we think we are humble, we are prideful. A similar quote I
heard recently...."Forget yourself. And when you find yourself, forget
yourself again, because you're in the wrong place." I am sure Heavenly
Father wants to teach us so much from Him, however, I have learned that if I don’t
ask and yearn for it, He will not give.
We stopped by a women’s
this past week who we met a few months ago, but was hesitant to talk with us at
the time. When we spoke with her on Sat evening she mentioned how her family
has been trying different churches to fit with all of their different
personalities. Her 10yr old son had been asking lately, "Mom, let’s just
try one more church, can we try one more?" Wow! The power of a child of
God!
Sandra (Brother
Peterson's wife) attended church again this week! She has been studying the
pamphlets and her Bible. She is taking notes so diligently and asking questions
to Brother Peterson!!!
We were able to meet
some other wonderful families this past week as well! It is so interesting how
we can spend hours and hours on end within the same 10 acres of homes, and week
after week we will meet a family that we have never seen before. “WOW! We have
walked and driven past that home a countless number, but never once met the
family that lives there”. It has taught me even more about the principle of
FAITH. The miracles that occur do not depend on my ability, my luck, my chance
to meet this family or that family, but rather is FULLY dependent on faith in
my Savior, Jesus Christ!
As I went on quite a
few short exchanges this past week, it was powerful to see the differences in
each of God's Children. How we learn differently, how we receive direction
differently, how we listen differently, and how we act differently. In no way,
would I be able to gain enough education to learn these different behaviors AND
THEN learn how to work with each personality. Heavenly Father has given us the endless
ability to work with others, to learn from them, to strengthen to them.
I am eternally
indebted to my Heavenly Father. Always, Sister Davis
