Happy Anniversary, Mum and Dad!!!!

Hello my dear family!!!!

 

I love you all so much!

I can't believe Sara got her mission call! And that I'm just missing her!! That's a shame. She will be great though!

We were at a Less Actives and she requested a blessing. The bishop and his wife came. The LA's house is always a bit crazy and sometimes hard to feel the spirit, but once the Bishop walked in and prepared to give the blessing the spirit was so strong. I am so grateful that the priesthood has been restored! What a blessing!!!

We've had a great week.

Barry (the man who was living where a passed PI/Referral was living) is doing great. He really is eager to learn and has so many great questions. We are teaching him and his sister, Marion. He has accepted a baptismal date for the end of August but we weren't able to get him to church this Sunday. HE feels that is a really big step, but I know he can get there.

We also had a super great member experience. We had dinner with this super awesome couple in the ward. Unfortunately the husband (who reminds me of Brother Henrie) was away at young mens camp, so it was his wife and her granddaughter (who is 15 and also is in the ward)The Zone leaders had challenged us to try a new approach with members of consecrating a specific hour with members to teach someone in their home. Then them and us both work  and pray to find someone to teach at that time. We taught a great lesson and read from the scriptures about how the Lord is preparing people (Alma 13:24, Alma 16:16-17, D&C 84:88) and then committed them to consecrate this time. The sister said she already had the name come to her of who she needed to invite!! AND THEN she went with us to the bus stop to make sure we got our bus. There was another family from the neighbourhood waiting at the bus stop with luggage ready to go on holiday. The member didn't know them and just right away started talking with them and introduced us. The father is especially religious. The member asked them about where they lived and when they would get back. They are gone for two weeks and she said we could come see them when they get back. They said they would be happy to have us round and talk about our beliefs over a cup of tea. The member right away and very boldly just said it would have to be hot chocolate or squash (an English type of juice concentrate) because we don't drink tea or coffee. That peeked their interest and they started asking us questions about why and what we believe. It was great. And the member asked for all their details for us! So great!! She is amazing! I can't wait to go by and see them in two weeks.

We had interviews yesterday. AMAZING! I love President and Sister Jordan! They have such strong spirits. And it's always amazing to hear how close relationships they have with the first presidency and quorum of the 12. President Jordan has represented the First Presidency legally quite a bit. And on his mission he was Assistant to James E. Faust. We're all convinced that one day he will be a general authority.

The gospel is amazing! I love my Saviour Jesus Christ! I know He lives!!

Thank you for your love, support, and emails!!

LOVE YOU!!!!!!

Love, Sister Davis xoxox
