My dear family,
I didn't think you'd change THAT much while I was gone, but to hear
you got iPhones proves me wrong. Our family is slowly entering the
digital world. Dad, are you enjoying being able to sinc your Iphone and
iPad? Thanks for the fun pictures Linda.
This week has been good. Zone Conference was amazing!! It was all
about faith and it really was just so uplifting. Sister Som and I are
working hard and having plenty of fun. We have learned much better how
to work together. I am learning to be silent more and let her do more of
the talking. I still do the majority, but as we continue to work on it,
I know she will become more comfortable with it. I am learning some
cambodian. How are you? is by far my favorite phrase! "tan yan so so
by?" say that five times fast. Shayla continues to be amazing!! She is
getting so excited for her baptism (21 september). She is going on
holiday next week, so we are praying that Satan doesn't throw too much
opposition at her; I also hope that when her sister comes to her baptism
(she has already invited her!) that her sister feels the spirit and has
a desire to learn more. I know it would be a great thing for Shayla to
have that support, and of course her sister would benefit from the
gospel as well.
We have been working a lot with less actives. There is progress
there, slow progress but progress nonetheless. We have also been
asked by the Stake to visit all of the less active YSA and invite them
to institute. We have quite a list and they are somewhat spread out, but
hopefully as we split it up with the Elders we can visit them all
before the next institute class starts- Book of Mormon!! Hopefully we
will see lots of miracles with that. We have been doing a lot of
finding without too much success, but someone said that whenever someone
rejects our message it just means that we are one person closer to
finding those that are prepared. I try and remember that. And I remember
that an invitation to learn about the gospel with love for the person
and love for the Savior can never be offensive. Even if they aren't
interested, as long as they felt our love for them then we have been
successful. We have the most precious thing we can offer to people-
salvation. How grateful I am for this opportunity!
We met this really nice Nigerian lady on the bus the other day. She
teaches math and her name is Julie! Crazy. I guess all Julie's must
love math. She was really nice and we were able to give her a Book of
Mormon. Everyone in England is going back to school this week, so she
was too busy to set up a time with us, but she gave us her information
and said that she's free in October. Hopefully we can see her again!
This work is amazing. The Book of Mormon is the word of God and truly
testifies of Jesus Christ!
I love you all!!
Love, Sister Davis
Sisters, Sisters, never were we such devoted Sisters. 1/3 of our mission
is now Sisters. This is less than half of the sisters in the mission!!
Crazy!
