Dear Family,
Thank you for always being diligent in emailing me every week. I really can't express how much I look forward to it and how much it helps me to press on every week is this great work! I am grateful to be blessed with the best family ever!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

This week has been good. We've had lots of opportunities to give service. We've had a bit of a hard time seeing our investigators often. We kept having great plans for the day and then it would just all fall through. But I know this is the Lord's work and so we just have to press forward and do our best. Our investigators are doing great, but we are struggling to get them to make that final push to reach baptism. We are really hoping and praying that Amerjeet will be able to get work off so he can be baptised this weekend! On one of our days that most appointments fell through, we had some really nice members who last minute invited us out to eat with them. We were so grateful and it was definitely a tender mercy. We went to Nando's. It was my first time (which is pretty sad because I've been hearing about it my whole mission but just haven't made the time to go). IT was delicious!! They have really yummy chicken that you can choose the spiciness you want! So spicy and delicious, jsut the way I like it :)Frankin loved going to the temple, but still hasn't said he's ready to be baptised. One day, hopefully soon!  We have kind of lost contact with Hassan :( hopefully he'll call us soon. We've also been really blessed this week with weather. Whenever it's raining hard we are in appointments, and whenever we are tracting it doesn't rain. Last night we did finding most of the day and it didn't rain at all. But it had rained all during church and as we were walking home it started raining. The Lord is blessing us!  
The week I've really learned taht the Lord answers our prayers. Definitely not always in the way that we want him to, but he does answer. There  have been some instances that things have happened and I've just thought "Why?!" And then the Lord reminds me about how I prayed to develop more Christlike attributes and wanted to increase in patience and charity, and how these opportunities he places before me are how I can. I am grateful that he does hear and answer prayers. I've just learned I've got to be careful what I pray for! But I'm grateful that he is giving me opportunities to change and become more like him. After all, that's what it's all about. 
Sorry that this letter is short. I don't know what else to write about. But next week I'm sure there will be plenty of exciting things to share with you!!! And we're going to London today for our pday. Hurray!! 
Missing you and praying for you!! Love you so very much!
Love, 
Sister Davis xoxox
