Dad and Mom,
This week was pretty awesome...glad to hear all the details about Hoopfest from you and Chad. Yes Mom the Funks were so NICE to me and made my last few days in freedom the best! It made me not as sad to go to the MTC because I felt so much love and support from them and I felt like got alot of the Jitters out of me. Yes Bob Kings wife is a member and she is so nice she gave me a Larry Bird cup no sig though, and also gave us some groceries on Sunday, but she has a son who is like 35 and still lives with her kind of a dork and he doesnt think Quest Field is the loudest stadium he thinks the Pit is?? Umm Monday is our P-day but the library that we come to do our emails at isnt open on Monday so we just do emails on Tuesday...Yes I have been reading the scriputres everyday and I like to read 2 Nephi 31-33, talks about the whole Gospel and the importance of prayer in our lives and we recieve many blessings from following this commandment. I also was reading Exodus and I came upon some interesting things: 1) In Ex. 33:11 it says that Moses saw God face to face as a man speaketh to his friend but then in verse 20 it says no man can see Lord...so I checked out the footnotes and it took me to JST and I found out that the other Isrealites were not worthy enough to have the privalege of seeing Gog. 2) And also in Ex. 32:14 it said that the Lord repented?? ya right so I turned to the footnotes again and once again JST solved the problem and I made sure to write a little arrow to that! And its so much easier to read to cuz I understand alot better what everything means...
Sorry that you guys didnt too well, shouldve done more pick-and-rolls with you and Paul...Chad was saying that Cliff didn't do too good as well and he said he went like 1-15 the last game no wonder you guys lost!! So your not doing Sunfaire 3-on-3 Im assuming?? Let me know how that goes...Good to hear most of O-town gettin represeneted with the Tovars, Travis and my old team doing great though! Crazy about that guy getting arrested he was sure asking for it when he wouldnt leave the court I wouldve tackled him myself! Not suprised Noodle and DC had to do most the work, Jesse is slippin and Tyler will be better the older he gets...Tell them to write back telling me how it went for them. Good Luck in the Sunrun
So my turn haha...any luck on the Partartical Blessing yet?? Whens the BIG trip again?? O and tell Taylor he will probly see Adam at the MTC cuz he works on the same floor with all the other missionaries learning languages...sorry no bike wrecks this week but I took my bike into the shop and my cones are completly demolished and I have to get a new wheel I guess and it will cost like 40 bucks...Pday was fun used those gift certificates to Baskin Robbins that Mom gave me, we also stopped by Deseret Book and I got a new pink tie and The missionary little book of answers, we had a ride from this guy named Andrew who is a LA and he took us to these other little shops as well...like 5 guys which is where we ate and it was really good. Pretty much everything I have eaten has had Green Chile this week and its kinda funny, theres also green chile fry sauce!! Ive been reading alot in the scriptures and Ive been focusing on trying to memorize as much as I can...I shared the David and Goliath story with one of our investigators and it went well, explained how if we could just have a little bit of the immense trust and faith that David put in the Lord it could go such a long way!! Also shared a dinner message with the Precheks after some Lasagna!, it was actaully really good and I really wanted to have seconds after, crazy huh! We were making up some names for a cooking class that she might do as well...like Nephfries and Samburgers haha, o and Laman Marang Pie it was fun trying to think of these with her, also I ruined a bowl with my Ravolli mom! I didnt know its not good with plastic, I guess it permanently stains it! I was mad it was my favorite bowl too! Well dont have too much time but I loved the email so much and I pray for you and Love both so much more the longer I am away from you! Love Elder Davis
O and let DC and Jesse know that they are both in the scriptures together in 1 Sam 25:10 haha a little thing I noticed during studies

Hey Dad!!
So great to hear you are doing good and getting in shape for Hoopfest (are you really doing all that running and ball?? thats crazy!) Ya I meant everything in that Fathers Day card...I even talked about in my talk about you!! My main focus was how much you were an EXAMPLE in my life and how you influenced me greatly to go on a mission! You showed me the importance of hard work, obedience, and how living rightously throughout my life can bring great blessings.
Nothing special on Fathers Day...just had a great lunch and then had a even better dinner as well with Korean Food!! Work has slowed down with people cancelling and not being home but we are still trying to work our hardest to see as many people as we can! I did comp exhanges with Elder Anderson in Bear Canyon and that was fun just slowed things down a little haha. Thanks for the update on Lisa and Trev...Vignoodle told me that Miles showed back up!!! What the heck? He told me he needs to get eye surgery so hopefully he can stay focused when he is ready to come back out again! Crazy your working so hard, thats exactly what I talked about in my talk...tell Larry that I want a special when I get home haha.
Ya I told Mom that you should invite him and his fam over so that he can see the blessings from living the gospel and going on a mission...I told mom but tell him that I want him to memorize Joseph Smiths 1st vision! Got the letters from Taylor and Jesse and those were awsome thanks for talking to them! Dont know exactly what happened in the crash just happend so fast, but the pants and shirt are fixed actually so dont worry I still got them :) Thanks for the encouragement and hope that you get hooked on those Green CHilles like me!
Met Bob Kings wife the coach of the Lobos and that was awsome, she gave me a poster fixed my pants, and guess what! She had a Larry Bird signed basketball!!! Because Bob coached him, i took a picture with it and asked if I could have it but for some reason she said no?? haha...I talked to her son and argued with him briefly and on which was louder The Pit or Quest Field?? You should ask Paul to research this...he said it gets past 125 decibils in the pit or something like that...Also met Rafeal and we had so much common except that hes 40 years old...he knew all about Fantasy and I told him the stories about Jim cheating and stealing players from us and he totally agreed! also mentioned him about the bidding on players and he seemed intersested in so maybe we got another believer!! Pday was awsome yesterday we went to watch the Isotopes baseball game and it was way funner than I thought, me and Elder Olson were dancing to get on camera but no luck haha, Kinda mad tho cuz a foul ball came right where we were sitting but we were getting lunch! I guess that was the Lord punishing us cuz we did the trick where you buy the cheapest seats then move up to way better ones haha but it was great to have some good laughs together! Also did some 3-on-3 football which I set up and of course dominated! Having such a good time out here... but cant complain!! Good luck in Hoopfest and make sure to give me plenty of details on how Taylors team does, what teams you played and bad you stomped them, and how you played? And also Chad too! He didnt send me anything this week so I assume hes doing great and Ill pray for both of you to win!! Love ya Elder Davis
Mom,
Enjoyed the little card thingys they should motivate me to work harder and tell the Thompsons thanks for the greenie package haha, cool that summer is going well and how are you doing? Im doing great! Starting to be more comfortable with all the missionary stuff...the work kinda slowed down this week cuz we had alot of appointments cancelled, but we met a couple new investigators named Jason and Yolanda which was nice. Glad to hear my words are bringing joy to everyone :) Temple is always nice I wish I could go every week but we only get to go every 6 months.
To answer your questions: To uplift my companion I cleaned up the house today so he didnt have to and Im trying my hardest on my part to get down the lessons so we teach in better unity, To grow spirtually Ive been making sure to be more obedient to our schedule, using my personal study time to the fullest, and also motivating Taylor and TD to focus on their missions and prepare better than I did, And something I can improve on is obedience to all the mission rules and my teaching skills. A family to invite? Hmm how about TD and his family? It could help TD focus more and dad said hes not working right now so that something to fill his time better...tell him that I want him to memorize Joseph Smiths 1st vision ok?
Got the letters from Vignoodle and Jesse which were GREAT...not from TD but hopefully soon. I made sure to put some thought into my replies to them and I think they will be glad to read the letters...funny about Poop Camp haha, does Dawson know Im in New Mexico yet?? Hes so cute, make sure he's shooting hoops as well after swimming! So most people here in North Valley are fairly respectful and not too many door slams yet, but most the time ppl arent even home till after 5 which is annonying but we still try to tract about an hour or two a day...
So thats funny about Curt and that Elder told me that exact same story that Curtis wrote, I can tell that he really enjoyed being around him. On Sunday Me and Elder Barret "The greenies" gave my Fathers Day talk and my main focus was how Dad was such a great EXAMPLE to me...by showing me how to work hard, how to live the gospel principles, and the importance of obedience. I told them how even on Dads days off he would still do yard work and make sure my car was fixed, and also that he rode his bike 60 miles a day! Alot of members enjoyed the talk and gave me compliments after. Having more fun with the members and Im really srating to love them, they give so much service and are so good with feeding us! Nothing really scary that Ive eaten just alot of Green Chile haha. So glad to hear you are doing great and hope you enjoy your summer to the fullest!! Love ya, Elder Davis

I'm taking Dawson for 3 days next week to hopefully get him potty trained - when he looked at a picture he called you "Pah-ker" like usual and Gpa Budge was "Pah-ker's dad" while I guess he calls Gpa D. “Gwampa Ivard” - so funny.....
#2 Hey Dad and Mom and Family,
Hows everybody doing, missing you guys and Im always praying for all of you!! Omg first I gotta say a Huge Thank You to you and Mom for the awsome care package!! It was pretty much an answer to my prayers with the oatmeal, tuna and crackers, and the little juice packets are sweet!! So I do write back on Tuesdays because the Library isnt open on Mondays and I did find out about the Mavs winning from Bro. Cole and I wasn't suprised...Playing Othello ball gets you no where and I wish I couldve saw them sweep the Lakers though, Elder Barret is a huge fan and I make fun of them every once in awhile to him and he gets mad haha...Thanks for the update on the STP and no way are we cathing up to those miles!! Yes we have alot of wind and it is very annonying but we do well in it, the ankle brace would be nice cuz I have to tuck in my sock all the time! Ya the Rio Grande dissapointed me bigtime but at least I got to see it? Did you like the DANS Boot and Saddles?? Umm Elder Olson said he actually didnt get to play his junior and senior year in fball but he talked about how they beat us in 06 I think and he said they stomped us, but I quickly reminded him of the 4 times in a row that we beat them so that ended the conversation haha. Hes real cool and we are starting our own "Big 3" with me him and Elder Barrett! Thats cool you shared one of my experiences in your talk thats probably why it went so good huh, ya good idea to get my blessing thats weird that I lost it? Thats definitly a balanced team with you Cliff and Paul. Cliff to shoot 3's, Paul to make the tough lay-ups, and you to make 3's and the tough lay-ups!!! Staying with Tim again??
by the way this last P-day was so cool. We ate at Dions which is my new favorite pizza place, Im getting hooked on the Green Chile here too they put it on everything and its so GOOD. We had it on the pizza with pepperoni yum..then we played basketball for a couple hrs and that was the best ball Ive played since a long time, even before I left on the mission, and they shopping and laundry was actually fun too i guess haha. So I met the Bishops wife and she mentioned that the Hansons are in some ward far off so I dont know how Ill see them?? But I met a Elder BrockBank at Zone Conference and he is from Uncle Curtises ward!! It was crazy and he totally knew Curtis...we laughed about his laugh because it is so contagious and said it reminded him of Ganondwarf off of Zelda (Nate and I think Chad will know what Im talking about) so true though haha and that was cool to meet him and see the cpl other missionaries from my district there as well. Ate at another good Mexican restaurant called Sadies and I got this GINORMUS burrito with green chile! and that same day We met the Davidsons and we played Skip-Bo with them for like an hour, Reminded me so much of playing Rummy-O with Gma and Gpa Budge, hows GPA BUDGE doing by the way after his surgery! And then i shared a message with them about the wise and the foolish man and it was fun...we also got a strawberry pineapple pie from Village Inn which tasted so GOOD! Umm our Bishop is a Rocket Scientist...literally a Rocket Scientist which is crazy haha, also got in a Bike Crash after hooking handlebar in to Elder Steadmans back wheel and went flying superman style at about 15 mph and cut up my hands and knee pretty good but Im doing way better, also ripped my long sleeve shirt and my pants but Sis Cole is going to fix that up for me today :). doing more tracting and we got 3 return apointments in 1 hr which is pretty good other than that just learning and growing my tesimony everyday, and still working with our progressing investigators to prepare them for baptisim and not get distracted with other trials in there lives. Having a great time out here hope you guys are having a awsome summer! What are the big plans??
P.S.- Tell Taylor and TD how awsome a mission is and that they should definitly start getting more prepared now, by going to all 3 hrs of church, mastering PMG and the scriptures with saying prayers day and night as well. These simple things can make the mission come to you so much easier. Tell them I how much I pray for them every night to stay on the right path...tell Taylor he should see Adam Beus alot because Adam works over by the foreign language district at the MTC which is sweet for him!
Love

Hey mom/dad and fam,
How is everybody! Its summer already right? school ended last week here so Its cool to see the kids everywhere having fun. How is being out of school and enjoying the freedoms? What do you guys got planned to do? Ya keep me updated on the NBA Finals Dad or Chad too cuz Im hoping Mavs can pull it off...and are you getting ready for Hoopfest Dad? And you better start the studying for Fantasy cuz ill be cheering you or Chad on to win it all!! I got the letter you sent me and good details about the ward its was good to read. Thats crazy about Tony Solberg though I hope hes doing all right after the whole passing out thing kinda scary...I answered all those Q's as well mom and Im sending alot of pics your guys' way they will probly get there this weekend...I think there is about 47 of them!! I think you'll like the snake and the shower pictures haha.
So I bowled a very weak 95 for P-day yesterday...I started out great too with having 3 strikes in my 1st 5 bowls! But then I quickly lost my luck and touch and had some gutterballs but it was fun to be with the Zone. And also it was Fast Sunday yesterday so I had the opprtunity to bear my testimony and introduce myself to the ward. Some members came up afterwards and said how much they enjoyed hearing my testimony...and I also gave my first report in Ward Council which was cool. It was super hard not being able to drink anything but I did the fast and it felt great! Something interesting I tried during the week was a Habenro Lime Shake...i know crazy it just tasted like a normal lime shake but with a burning aftertaste? And also next P-day we are doing this stupid Armageddon Challenge that Elder Olson did and he wants us to do it...we have to eat these 6 blazing super duper hot hot wings in 6 mins and then hold them in our mouths for 6 mins! He was showing us pics and he was throwing up milk everywhere and he said it feels like a hornet stung his throat haha Im a little nervous to do it but its something that the Man vs. Food guy would do so I have to do it!! I used the Gift card you gave me yesterday for DQ and Orange Julius and it was so good! Thanks alot for it...I made up a rule by that way for us so we can do more tracting throughout the day which is the "3 house rule" and it means if somebodys not at there house that we want to contact then we have to knock on 3 doors or more haha.
So biking has been getting alot better and Im averaging about 14 mph or whatever it says on the speedometer and I feel more comfortable too riding. How long is the STP ride by the way dad Is it 200 miles? Ill be ready to do the Tri-Centruy with you when I get back too...ya in our ward with the LA's its mainly just laziness cuz there all real nice but dont want to make any efforts at all. Yes I got a candy bar but it was because Warren our WML chose my comps scripture. Ya its the raw green chiles mixed with the sauce in the soapillas. Very little green around here for sure...Bro. Cole was actually at The Pit a cpl days ago for his sons basketball championship so it was cool to ask him a little about it. Ill try to get in there somehow haha. PLEase contact Taylor and TD and tell them to write me or something or look at my pics or read my emails so they can see how awsome a mission is!! Thats cool about Jennifers great testimony and ya I think Aaron has work he was tellin me before i left so he cant go? Kinda hard to practice tennis with no rackets haha but there are courts and maybe I could borrow some from a ward member? Ok Ill definitly pray for the Blessing and it should be in my Shoe Box that says DO NOT TOUCH so if you find that it should be in there. And a example Ive had of proclaming the Gospel would probably be when we taught the Restoration of the Gospel to an older couple...It went really well but the thing that was most awsome was that I was saying things I didnt even knew that I knew about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smiths 1st vision and the Spirit was so strong...We then asked them to commit read and pray to know if it is true and they accepted. Felt great to have a good lesson finally!! And also we have been going to these progreesing investigators George and Edna that have a bap date set up for the 18th and there moving but they said how much they love us and they had there testimonies strengthend. Love all you guys very much and appreciate all the prayers!!
P.S.-keep up the letters and details about the family love reading them, look for the P blessing still, tell Taylor and Td to write and my other friends? tell chad and nate to keep up there mini golf skillz, and loma to master down making soapillas so I can have them when I get back, and chelsea to keep up the good work with dawson and jett so they can stay cute and be ready to school me in bball
Love

I used the Gift card you gave me yesterday for DQ and Orange Julius and it was so good! Thanks alot for it...I made up a rule by that way for us so we can do more tracting throughout the day which is the "3 house rule" and it means if somebodys not at there house that we want to contact then we have to knock on 3 doors or more haha.
So biking has been getting alot better and Im averaging about 14 mph or whatever it says on the speedometer and I feel more comfortable too riding. How long is the STP ride by the way dad Is it 200 miles? Ill be ready to do the Tri-Centruy with you when I get back too...ya in our ward with the LA's its mainly just laziness cuz there all real nice but dont want to make any efforts at all. Yes I got a candy bar but it was because Warren our WML chose my comps scripture. Ya its the raw green chiles mixed with the sauce in the soapillas. Very little green around here for sure...Bro. Cole was actually at The Pit a cpl days ago for his sons basketball championship so it was cool to ask him a little about it. Ill try to get in there somehow haha. PLEase contact Taylor and TD and tell them to write me or something or look at my pics or read my emails so they can see how awsome a mission is!! Thats cool about Jennifers great testimony and ya I think Aaron has work he was tellin me before i left so he cant go? Kinda hard to practice tennis with no rackets haha but there are courts and maybe I could borrow some from a ward member? Ok Ill definitly pray for the Blessing and it should be in my Shoe Box that says DO NOT TOUCH so if you find that it should be in there. And a example Ive had of proclaming the Gospel would probably be when we taught the Restoration of the Gospel to an older couple...It went really well but the thing that was most awsome was that I was saying things I didnt even knew that I knew about the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smiths 1st vision and the Spirit was so strong...We then asked them to commit read and pray to know if it is true and they accepted. Felt great to have a good lesson finally!! And also we have been going to these progreesing investigators George and Edna that have a bap date set up for the 18th and there moving but they said how much they love us and they had there testimonies strengthend. Love all you guys very much and appreciate all the prayers!!
P.S.-keep up the letters and details about the family love reading them, look for the P blessing still, tell Taylor and Td to write and my other friends? tell chad and nate to keep up there mini golf skillz, and loma to master down making soapillas so I can have them when I get back, and chelsea to keep up the good work with dawson and jett so they can stay cute and be ready to school me in bball
Love
Elder Davis
