Dearest Family,
Well, this week really hasn't been too exciting. We are desperately
trying to find new investigators, especially ones who will progress.
Other than Shayla no one is really progressing, however Shayla is
AMAZING! She is on holiday this week, but when she gets back she's
already to be baptized. Please pray that while she is away on holiday
she will continue to stay strong. We are teaching a Chinese woman (who
has two adorable little boys) and we have been trying to get her to
church a couple weeks. We gave her a chapel tour and it went so well and
she said she would come if someone could bring her and we had a lift
arranged and everything and then she called on Friday
to tell us that she just got a new job and she's working weekends..
WHY?!! Sometimes Satan really drives me mad with the opposition that he
puts in people's paths. But she is continuing to read and pray and
hopefully as her faith grows and hopefully our employment specialists
can get her a new job not working weekends (and hopefully she'll want
that) and hopefully she will get there. Please pray that we will find
those that are prepared!
Sister Som doesn't really cook so I've been doing it all, but it's
great. Thank you mom for teaching me how to cook! We (well, really
I) also made a delicious cinnamon cake for a baptism that the Elders had
this weekend (someone that we passed to them). Sister Som had never had
spaghetti before so I made her some this week because she wanted to try
it... IT was delicious. Then we went to a dinner appointment at a
member's house the next day. What was for dinner? Spaghetti. haha. And
LOTS of it. It was the first time I felt uncomfortably full after a
dinner appointment.
Our WArd mission Leader is really striving to magnify his calling.
This week he called and asked us what appointments we had and then he
spent all afternoon yesterday calling people to try and find people to teach with us. So great!
I had a really wonderful personal study yesterday
about obedience. How many times can you find "If ye keep the
commandments, ye shall prosper.." in the Book of Mormon? I'm making a
list of all the times and so far I have atleast 10 where that exact
phrase is used. It's so true. As we are obedient, then success is
guaranteed to come. Maybe not in the timing we would like, but in the
Lord's timing it will. Also, did you know there are new scripture
masteries?! Some of them are the same, but some of them are different. I
really like some of the new ones they've chosen. I haven't been able to
look at all of them yet, though, but I'm sure they're all great!
Keep being the amazing people that you are! I love you all!
Love,
Sister Davis
