Hola mi familia! :)
That is so sick Nach that you got to spend one on one time with the general auxiliaries! Sounds like it was an amazing experience!
Bard! Way to be... getting accepted to BYU and all! We Davises are smart like that ;). Oh, and sounds like your beasting in volleyball. Lead for kills? How cute :)

What an amazing experience helping that lady out! Dad is such a bomb ward mission leader, and you all are amazing examples! If there's one thing my family is good at, it is putting smiles on peoples faces :) (Especially mine)
I got a cute letter from Leah this week :) Darlin, you need to stop growing! How tall are you? How tall is Jarf? am i the smallest Davis yet?
Well, this week was so cool! Investigators are seriously falling out of the sky in Norwood, we're having a hard time catching them all... my arms hurt. But seriously, this week has been rad!
So, last Sunday, this girl, Erin showed up at church with a family in the Branch. We talked to her a little, and she has had a crazy last few years, she is 25 and basically what I got out of it is she is ready for the gospel. So we went and talked with the family she was staying with and were like.. so, can we teach her, and they said to take it slow and maybe wait a little because she is recovering from a lot right now. So we were like, we can respect that.. cool. Then Friday, they had us over for lunch, and we weren't planning on teaching her or anything, just talking, getting to know her, and answering questions that she might have. But then, after lunch, she just started talking about how much she loved church on Sunday and everything and then was like, i want you guys just to teach me everything. So we tried to cover up our excitement (didn't work) and we whipped out the restoration... We taught it in 5 minutes. It was insane, she already knew, understood, and believed EVERYTHING. Right when we MENTIONED the Book of Mormon, she was just like, " oh, i've been reading that! And i prayed and asked God if it was true and i know it is." Say Whaaaa?? :) We were so stoked and so shocked and excited that we didnt know what to do except invite her to be baptized, and so we asked and guess what she said?? She said, YES, smacked her hands on the table in excitement, and started crying! We were all crying by the end.. Seriously, that lesson should be on the district. So great! :)
Then Yesterday, she came to church again :) and then last night we went over there for dinner! When we got there she was super down because the family she was living with was overwhelming her. They are an older couple and are just excited about her interest in the church and are getting a bit carried away. We explained that to her and it made a lot more sense. But after dinner Erin, Sister Lang, and I were just sitting on Erin's bed like friends, talking about the gospel. Answering questions and cheering her up. We were laughing, and learning, and by the end we were all growing. I have never been in a lesson where the spirit was that strong. Erin is seriously so amazing and already has such a strong relationship with her Savior. Its amazing.
This week, we tried to make whipped cream, but we didn't have a beater, so we were trying to do it by hand... epic fail.... lol. I'll send you a picture of the ugly pie we made with it! hahaha. so funny.
One of our investigators is from South Sac! Crazy! He's been to candy Heaven, but he never tried the chocolate covered grasshoppers. I told him he was missing out ;)
Oh! This week we went to dinner at a families house with 6 kids, the oldest being 14 and they were so crazy! I loved it, it reminded me EXACTLY how we used to be when the home teachers or missionaries would come over! haha. They were climbing all over us, taking food off our plates, telling embarrassing family stories, and so on! Love it :) And the mom felt so bad, and i had to just laugh, and I tried to tell her about how we used to be and she was like, "no,there's no way you were ever this bad..." It was too grand :)
Well, I hope you all have an amazing wonderful funfilled warm week (were back to the single digits again... I have a plan though, I think that if i just start wearing summer clothes and protest against this miserable whether, the sun will feel bad for me and just start shinin all over Norwood!)
LOVE YOU!
