Great day to be a missionary!  This is Elder Davies,

 This week has been a great week for having solid sit down lessons with our investigators.  We have been having members come with us to the appointments and it has really affected our teaching because now we can teach by the spirit through three different witnesses of the truthfulness of the gospel which is so amazing!

 We have been teaching Logan and his brother Gavin. They are amazing and they love learning more about the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Their parents on the other hand are a little bit more apprehensive about our teaching.  

 They will come around because they love the great people and the way all of the members act.  They are really impressed by our standards!

 As well as teaching other investigators this week we had dinner with a pmf or part-member family.  We were teaching Jeff.  He is a big time hunter and loves to talk to the missionaries.  

 He and I just mesh together very good.  Last night’s lesson got a little heated between him and his wife and ended up him going sitting in the kitchen because his wife is just being hotheaded and is just frustrated because he hasn't joined yet.  I went in the kitchen and started talking to him about how sorry I was if I offended him and started talking about what concerns he has about the gospel and how can I help him. He opened up to me and said he is just frustrated because his wife always is getting on to him about joining. I started telling him my story and everything and how there was a reason why they left me here longer in this area and that maybe he is that reason.  He stared at me and said I think you’re right and I said the spirit has told me that you needed to talk to us and that all the time I have been in this ward me and you really have connected and I know that I can help you. He said well I would like to talk to you and your companion without my wife here so we can just discuss things.  I said I would be super excited if he would do that.  I am so excited to teach him!

 I love the Book of Mormon.  I just finished it two weeks ago again and I’m in Jacob 5 now and I love learning all I can so I can share it with others! I challenge you and everyone reading this to read the Book of Mormon and really pray to ask God if it’s true and I know you will get an answer by the power of the Holy Ghost. I love you all and know that you will all be blessed according to your faithfulness to the commandments of God.

 Well sounds like life at home is being quite fun! I’m glad I’m not in the drama of that but I love to hear how everyone is doing and that the Lord is blessing us so much and we take it for granted every day. Well Dad having a Facebook page?  What is this world coming too?  Haha!  Well, I told him he would get one eventually haha!
