Hiya Family!
Happy St. Patty's day! Sister P
and I made sure to wear our green.... and then we noticed all day that
no one else was wearing green. There was no st patty's decorations in
the stores. It came up in a lesson with our Albanian investigators (the
ones we teach English too, and the gospel); the English member with us
reminded us that St. Patrick's Day is an Irish holiday. Sister P and I
had just assumed the whole world celebrated green day. haha. Oh well.
England has St. George's Day, but no one celebrates it. I think she said
it's in April.
Well, I won't hold back the
anticipated news any longer. Sister P and I are staying together!!!!!!
Yay! We were so excited to hear that. Especially after the week that we
had; so many miracles. And it was just so natural that we didn't even
feel like it was moves happening this week and we just kept working like
normal and had already schedule appointments for the day of transfers.
The Lord is blessing us so much! We are finding families to teach,
members are getting more involved in the work, and we are just growing
to love the people more and more everyday. I have loved all my
companions so much, but it's amazing the miracles that happen when a
companionship is completely unified. Sister P and I are just so much on
the same page with where we want the work to go. And I think we're both
really in tune with how the Lord wants the work to go as well. It's
amazing! We both had a hard time falling asleep last night
(don't worry it was just a one night thing because of moves calls- I
really have been sleeping great) because we were both thinking of how
great this next transfer is going to be and all the goals we have for
the area. I'm so excited!
Amarjeet had his baptismal interview last night. He passed! He's getting baptised on Saturday! Finally. I'm so happy for him. He's been wanting it so bad for so long.
We met with a new investigator yesterday.
It was our first proper lesson with her. She had met Sister P on the
bus back when Sister Latham was still here. We have been calling her and
trying to set up an appointment with her, but we could never get a hold
of her. Sister P was feeling so bad about it. Then, the other day we
get on the bus... and what do you know. This woman was sitting on the
bus. We were able to get her address and set up an appointment with her.
When we taught her she confessed that she had been purposefully
ignoring our calls. And she said that she normally would not give away
her address to someone she just met, but she said the spirit told her
she needed to give it to us and that we are working for God. She says
she knows it was God's hand in us meeting on the bus (and it really was
because we hadn't planned to be on that bus at that time, and neither
had she--- she was actually meant to be going to meet her pastor of her
church but he cancelled). We are looking forward to continuing to teach
her.
I've decided Sundays must just be our day for many miracles. This Sunday
we had quite a few appointments set up and we kept those appointments,
but we also got 6 new investigators!! It was brilliant! We also taught
the man we met last Sunday.
His family is great! We also were able to teach his father. They are
all really interested. We want to give them a baptismal date the next
time we teach them.
I love this gospel. This week I was reading 3 Nephi 18
about the sacrament. It talks about how they were filled. We always
teach investigators that church is so important because it recharges
their batteries. And the scriptures say exactly that. It's the sacrament
that fills our spiritual batteries with power and bless us with the
spirit throughout the week, not just church in general. I'm so grateful
for this ordinance that I can participate in each week. I hope I can
strive to make it more meaningful and sacred. I know Jesus Christ is my
Saviour. And the Saviour for everyone. Including those who don't
remember who he is.
Thank you for your prayers!
I love you!!!
Cheers,
Sister Davis xoxox
