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
