Hey Fam! :)
How are you all doing?! Sounds like you had a fun fourth of July!
We had such a fun fourth here too! We went to a BBQ with a bunch of the members, and we played everything! We played soccer, football, volleyball, badminton, tag, and an epic game of ultimate frisbee. So much fun! We have a bunch of young couples in our ward with young families that go to Cornell and are from Utah or Cali or Idaho, and thats who it was with. SO GREAT! I love our ward. It is so fun!
On monday, we went to FHE with the YSA branch (we work a lot with the branch because we have investigators in it), and we played soccer! I had never played soccer before but it was so much fun! I used to think soccer was so dumb (no offense Tay ;) But now I see the fun in it! Its a great game. But I was definitely the worst one there haha! Everyone there was super good at it, most of the were Asian so they just had mad athletic skills anyway! But I did score a goal! Totally luck-no skill involved. but I was pretty proud of it and there werent very many goals scored so it was cool :)
We found some super great people to teach this week! We found a couple of families and a couple of YSA's. I am so excited to teach them more. They all seem so prepared and ready to hear the gospel!
On Friday at the BBQ The Elders were sitting at a table, and a guy was walking past and one of the elders leaned over to his trainee and said, "I dare you to be a missionary" and so the elder walked over and started talking to him, and they got a return appointment with him, but since he is in our area, the return appointment for us :) So good! We weren't there when he was talking to the guy so we didn't know what he looked like or anything, but the Elders said he was mexican and didn't speak much english, so we brought spanish pamphlets over when we went, and we got there to find that he's not spanish... he speaks arabic. He is from Iraq! He has been in the U.S. for a year so he has picked up on a lot of english, but still doesnt know a lot. Enough to communicate though. But his family (he has a wife and 4 kids) just got here from Iraq last week, and apparently it was a crazy process and Rayez thought he would never see his family again. Such a neat experience though. They are just so humble. But- they are muslim, so we aren't allowed to teach them. Which is sad because they are SUPER interested! But we told the relief society president about them and their needs and the ward is going to reach out to them so thats good. And we are going to talk to president about them! But they are so great. So cute.
Well, I love you all, and I hope you have a fantastic week this week! You are always in my prayers!
Much Love,
Sister Davis :)
