Mom,
Dad, Jordan, Cristy, Adri, Tyler, and Tucker!
I love each one of you
so very much! Thank you for all your emails and letters! Thank you, thank
you.
School is beginning!
Well, for some of you I guess, not all. But I wish the best to those who are
beginning!
I am also glad to hear
that everyone has made it back home safely! However, I am a little sad to hear that
the boat did not. And most likely will not return home anytime soon. All is
well!
It has been a powerful
week!
The Mota Family! We
met them this past week and the wife invited us back. She is so enthused and
excited to learn, however her husband is completely opposite. As the father, he
of course wants to provide that protection for his home. Carmen (the wife) shared
with us her view of what happened inside their home when we first came...She
said, “As you walked up the driveway, my husband said, "They’re coming,
don’t answer the door. Don’t answer it. But when you knocked, I felt drawn to
the door. I heard my husband, but I knew I needed to answer the door. And I
opened it, and there you were bright and smiling!"
Brother Peterson! A
few months ago the missionaries stopped by his home. He told them to leave
"in a not so kind manner." (his words). He had been praying for help
just before they came by, and as soon as he shut the door he had a feeling that
that was his help and he had just turned it away. He immediately opened up the
phone book, found the number for the church, called the mission office and
referred himself to the office. He has changed completely. At first he didn't
want to read the Book of Mormon, the next week he read. Then he didn't feel
ready to attend church, but the next week he attended church. Then he didn't
feel worthy to partake of the sacrament, but the next week he took the
sacrament. He didn't feel ready to meet with the Bishop. Then the next week he
met with the Bishop. Just yesterday he entered the chapel with his white shirt
and tie, and passed the sacrament to the congregation!
Janet Baguio! Her son,
Dante, was baptized a couple years ago, she has been learning and attending
church every week since. She has a few callings in the ward also! She has given
so much and wants and desires to continue to give more.
The Leon Springs Ward
is outstanding. I feel like I am sprinting and still miles behind them.
Proclaiming and sharing the gospel is so natural to so many families, mothers,
fathers and their children. They have a firm and strong testimony in the
restoration of the gospel. This is what allows them to so naturally and
powerfully invite others to come unto Christ.
We just found out our
Ward Mission Leader, Brother Hill, will be moving. He has made an impact in my
life within just a few weeks. I am so grateful for the great blessing of him
sharing his testimony and knowledge with so many others.
I love each one of
you. Have a wonderful week! Sincerely, Sister Davis
