Familia!!!
That is SO exciting about Laurens mission call!! Whats her address right now? I want to write her. Better yet, tell her to write me and i will write back :)
Sounds like mom had a great birthday! 50's not that old. Its ok. :)
This week was SO good! Everyone we have been teaching lately is dropping us! We had 8 people drop us within the last two weeks and so we were having a hard time finding people to teach!! So we have been praying to find people and have been tracting a LOT!
This week while we were tracting we met a really cool older couple who were the sweetest ever and they said to me, "This is something that is really important to you, I can see it in your eyes", It was so cool. They were so sweet too, we are hopefully going to start teaching them this week.
Erin dropped us this week :( It was a really sad night. It's so sad because Heavenly Father has put her in the perfect position to hear the gospel multiple times and she is not seeing that. I am so sad that she feels the way she does right now. But I have faith that Heavenly Father won't give up on her. One day she will accept the gospel.
Thursday we had a zone conference which was great :) Sister Lang and I were lucky and got to do a role play with President and Sister Wirthlin in front of the whole zone. President Wirthlin is the hardest investigator... but so funny! He always throws at us the most ridiculous things. it was good though. The whole zone conference was about the new teaching method I was talking about a couple months ago. We had learned it at MLC and were applying it, but last week it got introduced to the rest of the mission. It was a great meeting!
Then that night I went to Plattsburgh with sister Curtis! I love sister Curtis, she was my Sister Training Leader my first transfer and now I am hers. :) We had a great exchange and while we were there we got to have lunch with Granny and Grandpop Bakow!!! It was so fun seeing their house and spending time with them :) I loved it so much!!
Ok, todays story: So there is a food pantry in Madrid that we volunteer at once a month, and there is a girl about our age with a baby that is always there when we go, and about a month ago we were at the food pantry, and after we left, we had a strong feeling that we needed to talk to her and meet with her! Then 4 days later we ran into her at Walmart (coincidence? i think not!) but we didnt realize that God had placed her in our path, and it was preparation day, so we didn't even think to get her number! Then after two weeks of beating ourselves up for that, we saw her again at the food pantry and we werent about to let her leave without talking to her. She said she would love for us to come visit, and so we did! We went over Saturday and talked to her and her boyfriend, Josh! They are so great and they are such a cute couple. They are about my age and have been together since high school. They are an interesting religion, I can't remember what it is called, something Israelite. It sounds like it is similar to Jehovah witness- they don't celebrate holidays, don't believe in blood transfusion, don't eat pork, etc. So knowing a little about their religion, it sounded like they wouldn't want to learn really, but then we felt inspired and whipped out the restoration and it was solid. They loved it and they are excited to learn more! How amazing? We were so happy :)
We had the faith to find, and God brought us to people who are ready to hear the gospel :)
I love you all!
Happy April 28th (there's no significance, other than today being a good day) :)
Love, Sister Davis :)
