"I Have A Child And I Was Screaming For My Mommy" -Joselyn talking about kidney stones lol‏

 

Hello People I love and miss,

Sounds like you had a fun week! Thats so funny about Brad raising his hand after he got his wisdom teeth out! haha i can totally see it :) So great.

Oh my heck i want to see a picture of Cami and Heather and Derek all dressed up! Sounds like it was way cute!

That's so cool that you all got to see Tay! Next time tell her she has to go to church for me :) She sends me lot's of letters, i love them :)

So good to hear the missionary update! i wish we had more people that would come teach with us here! We have two that come a lot! But not really anyone else. Its great though.

Oh! I got a package from the Matos family! It was sooooo great! and perfect timing because we were running out of food ;) I am excited to write them back! so sweet. I also got a letter from aunt cherie that had me rolling! haha. She died her hair purple :) thats great. Hmm, who else, i got one from Tay. :) I love mailllll :)
This week was longgg, I don't even know why! but it was awesome at the same time :)

We have an investigator getting baptized in a couple weeks! His name is Tye and he is 9 years old :) He has two younger siblings (Leah, 7 and Isaiah, 5). I think i have sent you pictures of them. They were the kids in all of the pictures from the pumpkin carving night. They are so cute and SO fun to teach! I was telling sister Stephens how much more comfortable i feel when there are kids around! I just love kids and it is sooo hard not to hold them and play with them and be silly with them all the time, but we still have fun. But i really think that because i know how to deal with kids and calm them down and talk to them that it helps our lessons with them go a lot smoother. It would be a lot harder if i didn't know how to work with kids... which i'm kinda good at... :)

On tuesday, we went to Joselyn's Boyfriends house for dinner, and it was SO great!! They are so much fun. And her Boyfriends parents are super Christian (and they came to her baptism last week) and they had so many questions! It was awesome. After leaving that night sister Stephens and i decided that they would be such strong members!! Someday.. :)

Ok, funniest thing ever... Every month our Zone leaders text us and ask us for our supply order for the month, and last month when they texted us, i was just being silly and i said, "BOM's, Restoration DVD's, Planners, Sweet Potatos, Bananas, and Toothpaste". And then on Wednesday they came to our district meeting to give us supplies and they just put the bag on our car and as we were leaving sister Stephens and i went and looked in it and there were BOM's, Restoration DVD's, Planners, a sweet potato, a couple bananas, and toothpaste.... and we were DYING!!!!! hahaha. At first i was like "did they accidently give us their groceries?? then sister stephens reminded me what we said last time and i started laughing so hard! But we decided next month when they ask we're going to go big and ask for laundry soap and walnuts (the two most expensive things we buy) haha.

 

 

Speaking of buying food.. we haven't in a while. We bought a rug and comforters for our beds a couple weeks ago, and they reimburse us for that stuff, but our district leader forgot to give our receipts to Elder Cutler when he went to Utica and so we haven't been reimbursed yet so we are flat broke... i have had $4 and sister stephens has had $0.01 in our accounts for a week now... so we don't get to go grocery shopping today hahaha. Kind of a bummer. but o well... we'll lose weight this week probably ;) haha

 

 

Friday was crazy! We taught a lot of lessons that day!!! It was fun though. and that night i got super homesick, well, not homesick, i just missed my sister a lot. It was weird cuz i didn't miss anyone else really (not that i don't love you all... cuz i do). It was weird though!

Saturday night, this is what i wrote in my journal, "Sister Stephens just blew up our microwave. no more popcorn :( and it stinks. So she had to open the windows, and now i'm cold. I'm going to go put my footie pajamas on. Ok that's better. it still smells."

Yesterday we went to Mary's for dinner, people tell us all the time not to eat over there because it probably isn't the safest thing, but she is so sweet and we love her and she invites us so we do. But for lunch, she made us pasta with (not cooked) canned potatos, and miracle whip and relish..... it was rough on my tummy. and sister stephens tummy too. Yuck. Oh my heck, and in Mary's prayer last night, she said, "I'm thankful i didn't have 5 kids to put through college" and sister Stephens and i were laughing so hard (it was just random, she has 2 kids i think..) and it was at a random part in the prayer too.. hahahaha!

And last night sister Stephens ended up getting sick, she got a migrane so she took a nap and i read the fourth missionary, it worked out perfect because i had been dying to read it but just didn't have time. :) But she was not feeling good at all :( We just relaxed the rest of the night, and did massages and stuff. Have i told you about our massages? Every night, we give each other back massages for 7 minutes each before we go to bed, and it helps us sleep. Before we were both having a hard time falling asleep at night, and with these, we are so relaxed and tired it works perfectly (kind of like when i used to ask mom to scratch my back til i fell asleep... :) haha.

Oh and we have another baptism in two weeks, her name is Caitlin :) She is so cute! I love her to death, and this baptism is long overdue. She is 17 and her sister is a convert, and she has been investigating for about 2 years now! She is so excited :) and so am i!! :)

Well familia, this was a very jumbled letter!

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

Dont forget to write your favorite missionary in vermont :)

LOVE YOU ALL!

Sister Davis :)
