WELL HOWDY!
Well it’s ok that your
email was short today, I don’t have much either from last time we talked. I love it out here, even with the stupid
tornados and the stupid humidity. It has
been a busy week finding a bunch of new people to teach and now we have 4
people on date to get baptized this month. I really dread the day when I have to leave here
because I love these people! I love my
investigators and my ward! I love my new
companion! He is a great elder.
Tell dad we need a GPS!
If he doesn’t think so I will just go
and buy one myself out here, we ain’t in the stone-age anymore and I hate maps!
That’s what I have already and it doesn’t
tell me street numbers. The streets down here suck, just so you know! There are like five Ponca streets, Lexington,
and Arrowhead, haha, that’s why it would be nice so I can find the specific
houses.
Mom, it sounds like
you had fun teaching about being an instrument in the Lords hands. I love how
he explains it in Alma. I have a firm
testimony on what it explains. I am really in love with Alma chapter 26 right
now. It talks a lot about missionary work!
Well, tell Cheyenne to
pack the jumbo marshmallows for girl’s camp for me and eat a bunch, haha, or
dad will eat all the burnt ones. It is a
great opportunity to serve up there at girl’s camp as a priesthood holder. Dad has the chance to bless all of the girls
that need it. And good I can never get replaced, haha, jk. Nathan is a great
kid I hope he knows that he is loved and we love having him around.
This week has been fun
like I said. We have a couple people on
date to get baptized this month. It is
very exciting to see their progress on how their testimony is growing as we
teach them by the spirit. My testimony
grows every time I bear witness that what I’m teaching them is true. I can only teach them so much, and then I have
to say to them “It’s time for you to find out for yourself!” So they pray and ask God with real intent,
with a real desire to find the truth, and they get their answer by the
power of the Holy Ghost.
The high of the week
is that I have a truck that I drive out here 3 weeks out of the month then I
walk one week of the month, haha! I
actually get to drive the truck because my new companion doesn't have a
license. That’s how we do it out here!
Dad, the baby deer
from last week hopefully was old enough to survive on its own. After I stepped on it, we found the momma
dead like 100 yards away. It looked like
a car had hit it and then it had walked
a little bit and laid down and died.
Also, you asked what taro is.
Taro is a root vegetable like a potato and it is VERY good.
Have a great week and
I love you,
Elder Davies
