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
Elder Davis
