Hello Family!
Right now, Sister Davis has a big ol happy ear to ear grin on her face! Wanna know why? Because Brad's mission papers are almost in!! :) How exciting is that?! So rad! Way to be Bard! :)
This week has been so busy and I have not been sleeping, and now I'm sick. One night, i slept on the floor because my bed was too hot (we don't have control of the temp in our apartment so sometimes it's blazing hot and sometimes it's miserably cold). Then the last few nights I haven't been sleeping good because I can't breathe, but then last night I took night time meds and slept way better, but I'm still pretty sick! Problem is, I don't have time to be sick. Seriously our days have been so crazy that dinner is usually a backup. But it's been good. So much is happening! We picked up a couple new investigators this week, and we had 4 at church yesterday, which was so sweet. :)
On Saturday we had the adult session of our district conference, and when I got there, weirdest thing happened, I was just like standing there with my companion, and this old man came up to me and started KISSING MY FACE! Turns out, it was my grandpa :) haha. It was so funny though! It was so good to see him and talk to him for a little bit! After the meeting, he came up and he kissed me again, right in front of President Wirthlin, and president kind of looked at him for a second, and then remembered he was my grandpa and president gave him permission to hug and kiss me :). It was pretty funny. Then grandpa was introducing me to a billion people, and it was so funny and cute. And before he left he gave me like 10 "last kiss"es. He's the best!
So this week, I was thinking a lot about finding the one. President always says that, that we need to find "the one" and I wasn't really sure what that meant. And he said that a lot of times "the one" could be you. I always thought that my "one" was me because of how much i have learned as a missionary so far, and how much this last 7 months has changed my life. But last night, i realized who my one is. It's Erin. We taught her a couple of lessons this week that really hit home with her. She has been struggling a lot with a few things lately though, and last night when she was telling us what she was feeling, I realized that I had gone through EXACTLY what she was, and I was able to help her. It was so amazing. I have never felt like I was here (specifically) for a reason that strong. And on the way home last night, my companion told me that I came to Norwood for Erin. It was so powerful and so motivating. I feel like I really have a purpose in being here, and God sent me to the New York Utica Mission, to Norwood, Right now for a reason. How amazing?
During weekly planning this week, we were doing our individual goals, and Sister Langford said "my goal for the week is to study the Christ-like attributes"
me: "all of them?"
sisL: "yes!"
me: "what are your other goals for the week? read the entire standard works? baptize all of norwood? turn our branch to a ward? get translated?"
see, i can be funny...
Well i hope you all are having a great week, enjoy the sun twice for me :) I love you and am so excited to read in my email next week that Brads papers are in! :) Whatta stud! ahh!
Love You
Sister Davis :)
P.S. Nach, write me :)
