FAMILY!
This week was
crazy...but soooo, soooo cool! And FYI, Did you know that gas prices are under
$3 down here? More money gets to go toward the missionary ipad fund now!
Remember Vanessa? Well
a miracle happened this week...she’s had a fear of attending church things because
she "doesn't know anyone." Well, she went to young women’s this week
and LOVED IT! She texted us afterwards and said it went great and everyone
was so kind and she is going to girls camp and a dance and babysitting for a
family in the ward and...and...and…and etc. It was so awesome. She texted us
telling she has been reading and is stoked to tell us about it too. The joy
never ends.
We had the Gladys
Knight/Saints Unified Voices presentation this past weekend. SPECTACULAR! I
say. We got to attend with a less-active in the ward, and also with a couple of
investigators, Joe and Nilsa. The choir was singing like crazy and then Gladys
Knight shared her conversion story and her testimony of Christ and His church.
At first I had that worry in the fore-front of my mind of, “oh my, what are all
these non-members thinking”?...., but by the end, I was so engulfed in
everything and forgot my companion was even next to me. I learned so much from
attending. First of all, I need more passion and excitement in my belief in
Christ! Secondly, this is the truth, so I better not in any way be shy or timid
to share it with anyone! I have a lot of lame excuses come to my mind of why we
shouldn't approach someone or invite them and I am learning that they all come
from the enemy.
This past week we
approached a referral house at about 7:30pm and it was already dark
outside and this house looked like it had no lights on inside...and I said to Sister
Whittier, “I don’t want to wake them up”. (It's 7:30, who has a bedtime of 7:30pm?)
She responds, "Is that an excuse?" Indeed it was. We ended up
teaching him and are going back later this week! Those missionaries from
the MTC have so much faith...I love it!
If you ever get a free
moment, check out the Saints Unified Voices website (suvchoir.org?)
I believe. And if they have a sample of Gladys Knight speaking on there, check
it out. She is a powerful speaker. I wish I could describe how amazing it was,
but there are no words.
I love this gospel and
the feeling we get whenever we are following Him. I know it is His church.
Always,
Sister Davis
OH WAIT I FORGOT...so
funny! So we are on bikes now for half the week...and we got caught in the rain
one evening. Well Texas rain is like nothing else. It just pours! So we are
riding along and realize that we probably should not take the downhill corner
turn in the rain as fast as we are going...but didn't think of this until the
last sec. Yep, we just landed gracefully and slid all the way down the hill. Man
I wish I could someone got a video of it and I could send it to you. Lol!
This might be why so many prayers are said for the missionaries, because at
times they can be a bit “blonde”.
