Brad, how was the temple? I want to hear about it! I bet you had a great time! Write me! :)
Happy one year Taylor! I can not believe it has been over a year since you left. Mind=blown.
Oh my, Have fun on your trip guys! I am almost jealous that you are going to Vegas, but I am not because I am on a mission and that's better than being in Vegas. But go see my families and tell them I said hi! And enjoy the sun :)
OK, so lately we haven't been reaching very many of our weekly goals, but this week, we reached 3 of them on TUESDAY!!!! how sweet is that?! It was awesome!
We had a member (Heather) come teaching with us. She is leaving for her mission on July 30th i think, and she is going to Texas too!!! how cool?! She is going to Lubbock! She will be great. But while she was with us, we taught so many lessons, and we picked up two new investigators! It was so cool.
The new investigators are Tom and Mike. Mike has 5 kids and he used to live in Utah so he knows a lot about the church, and we had a cool lesson with him.
Tom's lesson was so awesome though. At the beginning of the lesson, he was pretty hesitant and unsure of everything, but the spirit was so strong and by the end of the lesson he wanted to come to church and he wanted us to come back and he was so excited to pray about everything we had shared with him! It was sweet! :) And we invited him to be baptized and he said he would! But we didn't set a date yet!!!! SO GOOD!
Want to hear something fun?? We kind of got to go swimming on Saturday! Yup! Our cellar flooded SO bad! 6 inches baby!! It was fun haha. But terrible. Our landlord came and changed the pump so its better now. It smells so bad though!
Ok, so yesterday in Gospel principles, we had a lesson on baptism, and at the end of it the teacher asked us to think back to our own baptisms, and when I was thinking about the things i remember, I remembered running around in my dress in the cultural hall, and I remembered singing with my cousins. But then I remembered something cool. Before my baptism i learned that all of my sins would be washed away when I was baptized, and mom said something like, "ya, so every time you were mean to your brothers and sisters won't even matter any more". And i thought that was SO COOL, and so after I was baptized, I made a resolve in my head to never be mean to my siblings again! And that night, what happened? Me and Brad got in a fight. And I remembered being so mad because I ruined it, I messed up. I couldn't get baptized again. and so then I was like, well if its only one time, and i'm perfect from now on, its ok. So i tried to be perfect again. Then i got in another fight. And this bothered me for a few weeks or so (idk how long it was) but then a little while later (could have even been years later) In Sunday School we had a lesson about the sacrament. I had heard it before, but when they said that when we partake the sacrament it is renewing those covenants again, and that we can be clean every week just like we were when we were baptized, it really hit me that we can! And I know that we can, we can feel that same peace that we felt when we were baptized every week, and then resolve to do our best in the upcoming week. And when we fall short, it's just another opportunity to come closer to Christ. SO cool! :)
Well, i love you all and hope you have a fabulous week!
You are the greatest!
Love, Sister Davis
P.S. Last week I said to pray for a missionary experience! Anything cool happen? :) If you didn't do it, do it tomorrow! :)
