I am attaching pictures of Joselyn's baptism, and Kiera's hair...(its not that short. I love it!)
Just to tell you what she did, on Saturday I got an envelope from her, kind of thick, and ont he outside it said, "Don't freak out!" and I opened it and there was a whole ziploc full of hair! She is too funny! She is doing the work and having fun... Love it!
Hi everyone!
Family, it sounds like you've been having a great week!!! That's so fun that you've got to see lots of relatives :) Give them hugs for me :)
THIS WEEK WAS SO GREAT!!! Oh my heck i feel like such a missionary right now haha.
We had our first baptism on Friday! It went so great! It was seriously the most amazing thing ever. Joselyn is so great. It's so funny though because she thinks it's so weird that people cry when they feel the spirit sometimes, and the gal that was giving the talk on the Holy Ghost got pretty emotional and like in the middle of her thought, Joselyn said, "do you need a hug?" it was so great. And before she got baptized, she was super nervous, but after while she was getting dressed i asked her if she felt happy and she said, "Happy as in i can't stop smiling?" and sister Stephens and i just got emotional and were just so happy for her. It was amazing! And then on Sunday, she recieved the gift of the Holy Ghost....barely! She got there 7 minutes before the meeting ended. Luckily our branch president was speaking and went a little late haha. But it was SO good :)
And something so cute about Joselyn... when she feels the spirit, she smiles. She doesn't get emotional or shakey or anything, she just gets the cutest ear to ear grin on her face and can't stop. I love it :) and her :)
We also have three more people on schedule to be baptized in November so hopefully we have a few more soon! two of those i am 110% sure will happen :)
Ok, so being that i am a missionary and can not do crazy stuff all the time kinda drives me insane sometimes. Tuesday night was one of those times... so i let my companion (who has never cut hair) cut 13 INCHES off of my hair... surprise :) haha. It was fun. I miss my long hair, but this is just sooooo much easier! It's not me, but it's missionary me. CALL ME CRAZY! I like it though!
This week, i got a letter from Taylor Dahlberg!! :) and i got one from Jard and Lard and i got the funniest letter from Jake haha! oh my heck i was about to pee myself it was so funny. (missionary life: laughing at everything). And i got a couple from mom and a package with a blanket in it because it is SO COLD Here!!!!!!!
Ok so this might be one of those had to be there stories, but it was seriously the funniest thing on the planet. So Wednesday was just a long day, and when we got home we were soooo tired. It was one of those days where we fell asleep during companion prayer haha. So we went to bed at like 9:45 and our district leader called us at 10:00 and it woke us both up and i just was so confused and i said, "WHO COULD BE CALLING AT THIS HOUR??" and sister Stephens was like "it's our district leader" and she answered and was talking to him and i basically just rolled over and closed my eyes again and then a minute later i hear her say, "ya, sister Davis, what do you think?" and i was just like "good" and she started laughing lol. Then she hung up and like 5 minutes later (right as we fell back asleep)...Our district leader texts us (we have a loud text tone), and i was just like, "you've got to be kidding me." and sister stephens just laughed and said, "you're getting it this time" lol. and we still didnt go to bed until like 10:30... so much for that! haha. I was sooooo tired though, and you all know how out of it i am when i'm tired... it was great lol. and the next morning i asked sister stephens if that all really happened and she said yes. lol
Yesterday was so good. We had a great turn out at church!! There were almost 70 people there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was seriously the most exciting thing ever. We figured there was a great turn out because sister stephens and i spoke :) haha. Being a missionary means last minute talks... not my favorite thing ever, but it was fun haha. At least we both were super unprepared haha. But really there were so many people. It's like all of our investigators and all of the less actives got together and decided they were all going to wait until then to come. It was a great meeting :)
I am so excited for this week! We are focusing mainly on John, Caitlin, and Tye, because they all have baptism dates coming up. I am way excited for all of them!! It's going to be busy and crazy though! but Bring It On!
love you all so much! Keep writing :)
-Sister Davis!
