Ahhhhhh
I am so excited and I hope I can type fast enough today to get everything out
that I want to say!!!
FAMILY I LOVE
YOU
Yes, I wish I could
shout it at the top of my lungs. Whenever someone speaks of their family it
just brings warm fuzzies to me because I think of you guys and all the love you
have given me over the years.
Wow this was a week
full of learning. I loved it. We met another part-member family. The husband
and the son are both not members and the son soaked up the gospel like a
sponge. It scared me that he is 12 years old and no idea how to pray or who
Jesus Christ was. Well, Heavenly Father is here to help you. It made me think
of all those across the world who don’t know of him. An investigator this week
ended a lesson with a prayer and in her prayer she said "And if I come
across anyone who does not know Christ, I will make it known to them."
That was more dedication than some of us missionaries or members. But I loved
it. It is inspiring to tell all of the good news!
A couple times this
week we called one of our investigators, Daniel. The first time we called we
asked how his day was. (it was not the right question to ask) He began to tell
us of all the downfalls that had occurred that day. Well, we then asked how is
Book of Mormon reading has been...and you know the answer...well I didn’t get a
chance to read. A couple days later we called, how are you Daniel? Well I am
doing great, it has been a good day. How has the Book of Mormon been? Well I
listened to the first 13 chapters 4 times. TRULY, TRULY ,that is the power
right there. Do we truly believe in that power BEFORE it occurs though, or do
we sometimes forget about it when we get caught up in life and don’t think we
want to read. Why does it leave us so quickly? ahh
Another example of
those people who aren't members being the best missionaries…... We had an
investigator this week who we asked if she knew of anyone who could use some
help at this time, and right then and there she listed a few individuals that
had mentioned to her something about wanting to attend a church, looking for a
church, or asking her what church she attends. She is now bringing one of those
friends to church with her! The lord is preparing people. That is a PROMISE
from Him.
We spoke with a woman
this past week and asked if she had a chance to read the Book of Mormon her
friend gave her. She said "No, I will not read it." We shared with
her a snippit of what was in 3 Nephi 11 and shared with her our testimonies of
Christ. We then asked when would be a good time to share more and she set a
time for us to come back and read the Book of Mormon with her. OH my....He will
give us what we need to say at that very moment....the power will begin to flow
into your minds the moment you begin a serious study...your testimony is the
most powerful tool...and so on and so forth. It is all true. BUT not because we
witnessed it afterwards, but because we had faith before that it could happen
and it did. We share these experiences so that others can see just an example
of what can happen. BUT miracles are real and do occur. We don’t know what he
is going to do, or what he can do. One of my favorite quotes is "Expect
the Unexpected."
I must go, time is up
and I am starting to ramble. But I love you all so much! I love this gospel. I
now have a camera, thanks to Adri so I hope to take pics and send them off to
you soon.
Enjoy the winter cold,
while the sun shines brightly every day here in San Antonio. I have never seen
a bigger blue sky.
The gospel is ALWAYS
true, Sister Davis
