Well to start out
Howdy,
Just to say to ya'll that this week was a completely amazing week because of some certain things that have been happening. One of the main things that happened this week was the fantastic baptism of my man Chris. He was so excited and he was ready to be baptized. The service was small but the spirit was sooo strong and the amazing part was that one of the recent converts, Bro. Swoffer, baptized Chris. The other thing that happened was that President Keyes came to the baptism and gave a short talk of how proud of he was of Chris and his decision to be baptized. I can’t believe that he took the time out of his day to come to Chris’s baptism. He felt so special that he came to his most important day. President told him if he ever needs anything to ask the wonderful missionaries for whatever you need no matter what.

Another really amazing
thing that happened this week was with one of my investigators that has a
really severe problem with the word of wisdom. So, do you remember how I had to
have my mountain dew? That I would
always have at least two 32 drinks a day if not more? So out here, the members always say, “do you
want anything?” They buy us a ton of
stuff. I feel bad but they used to buy me mountain dew to drink until I made a
deal with my investigator that I will never drink any pop again on the
condition that he stop drinking beer and smoking and that kind of stuff . Well, I have been off the pop now for two weeks and
will never drink it again! So GREAT NEWS he stopped drinking for starters no
more drinking and because he was such a heavy smoker he would smoke about three
packs a day and now he doesn’t buy box cigarettes anymore and he only smokes a
mini cigar one a day so he is doing amazing! I love that he is making so much
progress!
Well to answer your
question for Sunday, I think that being all committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ
is the most important thing you can do on this earth not only in your actions
but in your heart. The most important thing to me is not just going out in the
day looking for numbers to fill my planner cause I have to but going out and
looking for people to change their lives and mine as well. It doesn’t just effect their life, it ultimately
effects my life as well. I love being able to go out and find those in need of
the gospel of Jesus Christ and see when they start to cry when they feel that
spirit of truth telling them that we are here to share with them the key to
living with their families forever. What better job do I have than this? I would say nothing!
Sounds like that the
parade was long but fun. I wish I could
be there. Well hopefully you had fun
camping.
Glad that my ATV worked out for
you. Well, that Miles, my little dare
devil, sleeps in the sight of danger,
haha, funny kid!
Anything I can help
you with family while I am out here serving the lord, just mail me! Thank you Sonnett
for the letter! I loved the picture on the back from Miles. It brightens my day when you send me mail. It
gets pretty routine out here!
I love being out here
teaching and fellowshipping everyone I come in contact with. I hope this feeling never ends!
I LOVE YA'LL
Elder Davies
