FAMILY!!!!! Sounds like you had a fun and eventful week! Summer is so here!
Andrea. <3 I wrote you a letter :)
Today we crashed Cantons district activity and it was at a senior couples house who lives on a lake that is in between NY and Canada! How fun?! I ran down to the little dock at the bottom and I ran out on it and wanted to jump in the pretty lake sooooo bad, but didnt. I did put my feet in though and then i ran and jumped off into about 5 inches of it :) it was so fun.
This week was SO SO amazing. Ok, mainly yesterday though. Story time.
So about 2 weeks ago, sister Rasmussen and I were tracting and we tracted into a family that was really nice, and they said that they were Christians and that they were eating dinner so it was a bad time. Ok, cool. We keep tracting. That whole day, it had been extremely warm and sunny, but about 5 minutes after we knocked on that door it started POURING. Straight up downpour. It was crazy. And right when it started pouring that same family we had just tracted opened their door and said hey do you want to come in for a minute so you dont get so wet? and not even thinking we were just like no its ok, we tract in the rain all the time. then they said well if you change your mind, you can come in. Then right after they closed the door we were like-wow we are soooo stupid! then we were beating ourselves up about it, and we knocked on one more door then we were like, we need to go back to that family. So we decide that, and right when we do it stops raining and we were like seriously?! It literally rained for 3 minutes... if that.. and then it was sunny again. Heavenly Father put us in that perfect position to talk to them and we didn't even recognize it.. so that was dumb.
Fast forward a week (Last Sunday) we go to try them again. The whole walk there I am freaking out, I have never in my life been so nervous to knock on a door. I was just so sure that they were ready and prepared and I did not want to mess it up-which was weird because I have never been scared of that. But I was terrified. So we go to their house knock on the door, and no one was home.
Fast forward to yesterday. We repeat that process, get up the guts again, go to their house, Knock on the door, and end up teaching them. BOOM. So sweet. We taugh them the Restoration and they had such a neat experience with the First Vision. They had been trying a bunch of different churches lately and she said that they just couldn't feel the Holy Spirit at any of them. HOW COOL? She recognizes the spirit and knows that it wasn't there. So neat. I am sooooo STOKED for her to come to church! All of them. They are a young couple with a 7 year old girl-the Ashley family :) It was so cool. We set up two return appointments with them :) We set up a church tour, but that is two weeks away, so we got an appointment for Thursday too :D can't wait!
This week we had MLC too, which was fun! Sister Langford was there so it was way fun to see her :)
So a thing that we do now is we go to the senior citizen lunch at the church next door to our house every tuesday! Its one of the funnest things ever. There are like 10 people that go, and the youngest one there is 89. They are SOOOO hilarious too. Its the greatest thing of my life!
GUESS WHAT?? Ok, so you know John from Bennington??? well his wife got baptized on Saturday! How sick is that?!?! I just saw that in presidents weekly letter :D :D :D SO COOL! I bet John baptized her!!!!! :) <3 <3
Well I love you all! Enjoy summer!
Love, Sister Davis :)
P.S. Pray for a missionary experience tomorrow and see what happens. I will too. It will be fun :)
